Comments Robb Russo made about his use of the Tunetrax Platform:

EXPANDING OUR SOCIAL NETWORK

Social Media: With Tunetrax, our band can share our music automatically on 80+ social media network. Tunetrax made it super easy for me to be able to leverage several social network such as Youtube, Facebook and Twitter, to connect with fans, the media and venues. The Best Part, we don’t have to spend much time expanding our social networks.
INCREASING OUR FAN BASE

Increase our Fan Base & Engagements: one of the things we really like about Tunetrax, is that we are not only able to increase our fan base, but also our engagement with our most loyal fans. With Tunetrax, we can directly message our fans with special offers or invite them to our “Meet & Greet” event at our shows.
REACHING OUT MEDIA OUTLETS

Reaching out Media Outlets: Each time we release a new album, we make the point of reaching out to radio stations, music bloggers and regional print media outlets in a specific target areas. We gain a lot more exposure and coverage from most of them. When we ask what made them to click on our EPK link, they are telling us they love our EPK because it is super helpful to them to get a complete snapshot of our band all in one spot. Bloggers and the media in general do not like to receive emails with multiple links they have to click on. With Tunetrax, media outlets we target can listen to our music, watch our video and check out our biography in seconds, even check out our upcoming shows, without ever leaving our page.
PROMOTING OUR UPCOMING SHOWS

Promoting our Upcoming Shows: Tunetrax made it really easy to efficiently share and promote our shows. I can sell tickets and promote all of our shows onto 80+ social media networks without leaving our page, that’s rad!
NETWORKING WITH OTHER TUNETRAX ARTISTS

Networking with other Tunetrax Artists: one of the things I really enjoy is being able to network with other Tunetrax artists and trade gigs with them. We use the artist browsing capabilities, which allow us to search artists per city or music genres in order to connect with bands. We were recently able to set up a West Coast tour thru 15 different cities, just in networking with other Tunetrax’s artists. Tunetrax and its networks of musicians were super helpful for us to set up a very successful tour.
