So far, my band has handed out 400 CDs for concerts we've done in San Francisco. We handed them out after shows of established bands that sounded similar to ours. People have been very responsive and happy to take the CD's. At the first show we handed out CDs for, we saw a noticeable amount of unfamiliar faces, around 40 to 50 people. At the next show, the show the CD above was promoting, we saw only a small amount of new faces, around 10 to 15 people. But October 27 was also one of the last games of the Giant's World Series so it's very understandable why the turnout wasn't as good. Our next show is December 10th at the Red Devil Lounge. We plan on handing out 600 CDs and street stenciling two weeks prior to the show. I should have the results just in time to include them in the study. The CD's are very inexpensive only costing 15 cents to make. The stencil will only cost around $5, which includes the stencil and chalk. I'll upload an image of the next CD and stencil when they are finished. The free CD is great because it allows people to hear our music almost instantly and it promotes our next show along with our website.
