			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1733" href="http://simplygigantic.com/2011/how-a-seattle-based-band-did-something-new/stacks-of-money/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1733" title="stacks-of-money" src="http://simplygigantic.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/stacks-of-money.jpeg" alt="" width="371" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Some people in the music industry forget how important it is to be first at something. Others follow people in suit thinking the same tactics will work for them. But in this case for this Seattle based band, this new tactic paid off extremely well.</p>
<p>The band needed to raise money for an album, and despite the normal ways bands raise funds like get jobs, take out a loan or ask for funds from relatives, this band auctioned their naming rights on Ebay. Buystock.net came in and bought the bands name rights for $251,000. The band is now know as Buystock.net Band.</p>
<p>Is it rather odd Buystock.com would spend that kind of money on a band. Nonetheless the press that Buystock.net will get off this is worth the price. Take directly from their website:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>3/15/11 – We&#8217;re happy to announce that we&#8217;ve won the naming rights to a Seattle band in the first such sponsorship. The band will now be known as &#8220;<a href="http://www.younameourband.com/" class="broken_link">BuyStock.net Band</a>&#8220;. Their first recorded song, &#8220;For You&#8221;, is available for free download <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?82m23i73yzpbtqd/">here</a>.</em></p>
<p>This is one of those rare cases that the first person to come along and take the cake wins. You can&#8217;t mimic this marketing tactic. However, there may be many ways you can come up with <strong>something new</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Use Our Profile Page To Showcase Your Talents</strong></p>
<p>Following our support system model, one of the ways Sleeping Giant Music bridged the gap between innovation and old school methods was to use a profile page to act as an integrated online electronic press kit. This kit was designed for both fans and clients, featuring innovations in event postings, email sign ups and rsvp’s, as well as music hosting and external links.</p>
<p>If businesses need support systems, and the founders of SGM treated their music career like a business then it was only logical to create system that could service both the needs for it’s artists, DJs and bands alike. Let’s take a look at our profile page and some of the ways you can use it.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1592" href="http://simplygigantic.com/2011/utilize-our-profile-in-many-ways/simply-gigantic-profile-page/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1592" title="Simply Gigantic Profile Page" src="http://simplygigantic.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Simply-Gigantic-Profile-Page.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="307" /></a></p>
