Where do you start in marketing Christian music? is marketing Christian music more difficult than "secular" music? Is there a clear path in the arena of
marketing Christian music?
The keys to the success and strategies to promoting yourself in marketing Christian music might surprise you. You may think that if an artist gets signed with a well known record label then the company's "built in" Christian marketing system would pave the way for that person. In some cases, it definitely is an advantage. But not the key. The one vital ingredient comes down to simply this: you ! You and the skills you have. The Contemporary Christian Music
industry calls it "artist development".
I'm not talking about your musical skills, but your ability to communicate and deal with other people. Another word for that is your personal development. The artists or members of a band that were humble, sincere, and always giving back were the ones who I saw get promoted and have success in music. They worked on developing relationships. Some came by the radio station just to meet us and get to know the staff. They were not just cordial to the voice talent but also to the behind the scenes people, such as the office staff. I remember this one well known Christian artist (John Schlitt) calling the station one day to talk to our Music Director. When our receptionist discovered who he was while taking a message, she was thrilled. HE was one of HER favorite artists. I'll never forget it. He took time to talk to her, ask her questions, find out about her family, and thanked her for her work at the station. No hidden agenda for him. (My mom loves his music too!) The guy could rock out with the best of them at that time and still had a way with music lovers of ALL ages. That is something to learn from, no matter what style of music you sing or perform.
So, as you continue to write inspiring lyrics and practice moving pieces of art for the masses, here are some strategies to promote your music and get you on track for your Christian Music Marketing plan so you can see success in the journey toward your God given destiny.
