Marketing is a mythisized science, even within business circles. In artistic circles, marketing is again and again seen as a tool that Dick Dastardley and Mutley would use in the cartoon “Wacky Races”. Many performers say that when a skill less musician becomes successful, it was all down to the question of marketing.
A long way from being a tool that a con artist would use, marketing really has substantially little to do with the skill or quality of a performer or artist. When marketing is done well, it points to a Venues not alternatively explored in the music market, which many times end up supplying less skill ed artists.
So the best way to make an alliance between skill and marketing is by losing the prejudice and undoing the myths about marketing. After all, in the music market, marketing acts in a positive way, as in any other kind of market (financial, commercial etc.).
Actually the adaptations are not all that difficult, if we understand that to work a performer or an artist, we need to have a company, which needs to be successful in the market, as a company. For your music company to be successful, it needs to generate profit.
Creating a new band is the same as launching a new commercial product onto the market, remarkably much in the same way as that product you buy in your Regional supermarket. The talent is there, for whoever wishes to admire and enjoy, but it is correctly packaged and promote d to the right target public.
You need to learn the 1st musical notes (formally in a music school, or by studying sheet music) so that later on you might start to produce your own harmonious melodies. In the same way, you need to learn the “notes” of marketing before you might produce a “harmonious melody” in your music company. The “harmony” in your music company is gain ing satisfactory financial results which justify the uncommonly existence of the company.
