Band Pamphlet

So a few months ago, I saw a Sonicbids video featuring a pamphlet a band had made and distributed at one of there shows. The Band Info Pamphlet had some great information in it including merchandise and they’re upcoming shows. I thought this was a great idea and beat myself up a little for not thinking about it myself.

So, I knew I wanted to do this at my next show but I also knew that Selkow‘s version wouldn’t fit my needs. I needed it to fit the image I wanted to portray. So, I put it on thicker paper and used it to announce all my info, who was playing the group that night (with short bios), merchandise, and contact/website info. I then paper-clipped (the only real annoying part of the process) a strip of paper on each of them for email sign up with instructions to fill it out and place in tip jar.

I came across Lou (the guy who made the video) on twitter and told him about it. He dug the email slip and asked me to send him a leftover pamphlet. He made a follow up video called Band Info Pamphlet- part 2 which featured my version.

I got the template from the Microsoft website and the copies were less than $.40/per front and back.

The pamphlet was well received at the show and I actually got a call from a lady a few days back that had gotten a hold of one and wanted to book us. So, I will definitely use them again. And, since it worked for me, I figured it could work for other musicians and wanted to share. If you use it, let me know how it goes!
