Promoting an old song and getting some great results!

5 Steps to a Successful

Groover Campaign!

1. Pick the Perfect Song

  • Ensure the song is playlist-friendly, with a catchy and accessible vibe.

  • Focus on tracks that showcase the artist's best qualities and serve as a compelling entry point into their music.

  • Consider factors like mixing, vocal presence, and genre-specific preferences of curators.

  • Don't shy away from older catalog tracks; sometimes, a hidden gem from the past can create significant impact.

2. Budgeting for Success

  • Recognize that pitching to curators is a numbers game; a broader reach increases the chances of successful placements.

  • Set a reasonable budget to enable pitching to a variety of relevant curators, avoiding a limited approach that could yield disappointing results.

  • Understand that a modest investment is crucial for a comprehensive and effective campaign.

3. Intentional Pitching

  • Research and target curators whose playlists align closely with the specific style of the song being pitched.

  • Avoid a scattergun approach; be strategic and intentional in your submissions.

  • Quality over quantity – focus on curators whose preferences match the genre and mood of your music.

4. Don’t Sweat the Feedback

  • Decide whether or not you want feedback on your tracks; for some, creative input is appreciated, but for others, it might be best to skip the feedback.

  • Maintain mental well-being by not dwelling on rejection – understand that not every track fits a curator's current search criteria.

  • Recognize that curators might appreciate your music but may not include it due to microgenre-specific reasons.

5. Measuring the Results

  • Evaluate the success of your campaign by looking at playlist placements and their impact on streams.

  • Identify responsive curators and analyze what resonated with them.

  • Measure the return on investment and determine the ideal budget for a successful response rate.

  • Embrace the opportunity to improve and iterate for future campaigns.

  • Don't hesitate to reattempt with the same track, tweaking your strategy based on past learnings.
