I used GetMusic to build the Bandcamp fanbase a bit in advance of my next album release. I made 100 codes available and shared this across X and FB groups. All codes were gone in under a week, I sold more physical copies in a day than ever before and grew the fan base. Win!
I'm super pleased. You've almost doubled my followers, and surprisingly, I got a fair number of sales, too!
May I say I am thrilled with the results with GET MUSIC! In less than 3 weeks my Bandcamp follower count has risen by 86%, I've received hundreds of additional streams I otherwise wouldn't have. Further, it appears there's been a knock-on with a spike in Spotify activity also, presumably punters who utilise both platforms. In even less time my old band THE GELS has received a 114% rise in Bandcamp followers and generated real sales. I wasn't sure what to expect when I joined GET MUSIC, but I certainly wasn't expecting this. It's a staggering result.
GetMusic helps garner listens, sales and follows. It's been a huge help in a world where the social media platforms and algorithms tend to work against underground artists.
I'm really glad that I did this now. I've got the most daily Bandcamp streams that I've ever had, plus 20 download code redemptions so far today, and a load of new followers.
Using free codes to promote my band got me about 100 followers and 100 listeners on BandCamp and i spent about $12.00. So its worth it!
We’ve used GetMusic on 3 releases now and every single time it has resulted in many more followers. They may not always translate into more sales - but you are in all those peoples collections and they are all on your messaging list for notifications about future releases etc. We regard it as an investment for the future - to build up your list of followers and raise awareness of what you do. Chuck (who interfaces with the artists) is a really nice guy and will always try to accommodate any requests you have for promotions and new merchandise releases etc. He has done loads for us and his intervention often results in increased plays on our Bandcamp page. The news of the offer of promoting free downloads at no cost is a godsend to struggling bands and is an excellent idea I our opinion - it means we can now afford to offer free downloads of “singles” to promote upcoming releases. Keep up the good work - GetMusic definitely gets The Crabs Commendation!
@GetMusicfm is the reason why I discovered this community. Not only are they getting music out there and visible, they are bringing people together!
GetMusic has increased our engagement immensely in a short time. Fans being able to return to an album in their collection quickly has also led to more sales in the long run. GetMusic is a must-have for any musician or label who wants to keep fans engaged while simultaneously finding new ones.
