New repositionable vinyl stickers offer bands some great new promotional tools.

Promoting your band with vinyl stickers is a new way to get people talking. Vinyl stickers can be custom made with your band logo or life size photos of your band in action and of the band members.

What is this new vinyl sticker material called? FotoSicks. Repositionable and reusable vinyl stickers that will not harm walls. You can stick them up just about anywhere and then take them down and move them somewhere else. If they get dirty, just wash them off with warm water.

You can give away free and inexpensive smaller vinyl stickers while selling life size stickers to create a promotion that funds itself.

Here are a few promotional ideas:

Put them on fan's cars during a gig

Here are some more detailed promo ideas...

Thanks to Mike Larrabee for this idea, it's great. Do you have a local micro-brewery? See about getting a few cases of beer without front labels. Then create your own label and order the design as a FotoStick. You can put them on the bottles and your fans can buy a beer and get a free promotional sticker that can be re-stuck anywhere they like.

Put your band stickers on bulletin boards, windows and anywhere else you dare. People can simply peel them off and use them again anywhere they want. They won't harm walls or windows.

Find a good artist or two and have a monthly promotion that includes a limited run of only a specified amount of stickers featuring a certain artist. When they are gone, that's it, they are no longer available. Do this each month and you can promote collecting band memorabilia and create some buzz.

Put your band stickers all over the bar or club you are playing in and let the audience know that they can peel them off and keep them.

At each gig have one of the roadies take pictures of your fans with their favorite band members. Collect their addresses and then send them some FotoSticks a few weeks later to remind them of the night. You can be sure that they will show their friends and family. Since they are repositionable, they can put them on their notebooks or laptops to show around and then put them on their wall once they are done bragging.

Repositionable vinyl stickers are new and they get people talking. Not only are they a way to get your band image known, they create a buzz just because they are novel. So, don't hesitate, be the first band to show this new promotional tool to your fans. It is an inexpensive way to get the word out. Plus, if you sell the larger six and seven foot wall size stickers it can pay for itself and you may even profit from it in more ways than one.

FotoStick is a 5 mil vinyl material that has a sticky back that can be moved and removed without harming the surface they are placed upon. Unlike static cling, traditional stickers and custom magnets, FotoSticks are tough, durable and more versatile. They're like stickers but they can be used and re-used over and over again. They're like magnets except that they stick on almost any smooth surface. They are inexpensive and you can create one custom sticker to one hundred thousand affordably.
