PROJECTS

Although we developed the street team program around postering and flyering for upcoming shows, we have discovered many other things street teamers have been doing to spread the word in their area. Please know that you shouldn't feel it necessary to pay out of pocket for promoting your favorite music, but if you are so inspired, you have our blessing. We owe that to you, and always encourage you to be creative in your method of spreading the music.

Whether the artist(s) is on or off tour, there are numerous duties that street team members can take upon themselves that will help support their local scene enormously. Some of these duties have come from ideas we've received from street team-ers like you who took it upon themselves to create a position when they weren't postering for upcoming shows. We appreciate all of the ideas, and we encourage you to send in any comments or suggestions.


SCI FI SPECIALISTS

SCI Fidelity Records is looking for the cream of the crop. You are all wonderful street team-ers, but some people want to take it to the next level. We are looking for people seriously interested in a possible career in the music industry and who want to take on a greater amount of responsibility.

We will be seeking out serious people to work specifically with all the lifestyle and retail stores, as well as schools and community meeting places, in their area to promote CD releases, artist tours and more. This is a non-artist specific project and truly an opportunity for somebody to get their feet wet in the music industry.

As we will be requiring quite a bit of work, follow up, reporting and possibly pictures from the Specialists, we are devising a system of reward that will acknowledge all of your hard work and passion for music. Furthermore, you could receive college credit for this as well!!

Are you ready to be a SCIFI Specialist? If so, please email us with your name, city and a brief description of why you want to be a SCIFI Specialist. We look forward to your response.



FOOTPRINTS CREW

The street teams are using their wonderful energy to include cleaning-up after theshows. We are calling this effort "FOOTPRINTS" as in "Leave Nothing but Footprints". Please look for people with trash bags, or ask someone at the merchandise booth, and meet after each show in the lots. Grab a bag, fill it up and help keep the scene clean!

When flyering for the Cheese, be conscious of handbills that may end up on the ground outside of the venue. Please take a few extra minutes after the crowd leaves to pick up any handbills that may have been accidentally dropped. This sends a positive message to the venue, and allows us to continue promoting at other shows in the future.


MINI-INCIDENTS

This is one of our most fun on-going projects. A mini-incident is hosted by a local street team member at their venue of choice. SCI Fidelity will send the adventurous soul a bunch of promotional goodies, as well as signed CDs and posters, and help them create a listening and music party. Mini-incidents are a fun way to meet other locals who share a similar love for music. Some have become a weekly event at a local bar and have been very successful in introducing new people to SCI Fi artists. Others have been an exciting event planned around CD releases, upcoming shows, and in-stores. Any which way, hosting a mini-incident is a enjoyable and entertaining way street team-ers can promote their favorite artists(s).

SCI FIDELITY RECORD PROMOTIONS

With new releases, we will need people everywhere to put up posters in record stores and around town, informing the public about this new album. Let us know if you would like to help with album promo and we will get the materials out to you as soon as they come in. (Send an email to: streetteam@scifidelity.com and put new release promo. in the subject. Please include your full name and US Mailing address as well).


RADIO STATIONS

There are hundreds of radio stations across the country that are receptive to playing SCI Fidelity artists either in their regular rotation or during specialty shows. Find out which stations in your area play this type of music, and call to request Keller or the Cheese. If, for whatever reason, the stations do not have SCI-Fidelity releases, let us know and we will be happy to send them immediately. The resources link can direct you to our list of radio station’s request lines.


DIGITAL MUSIC INITIATIVE

Music sites on the Internet are popping up on a daily basis. Many sites feature MP3 tracks for download. Some are set up as a Real Audio radio station. If you have a favorite music site on the net, and they do not feature SCI Fidelity artists, let us know, and we will make sure that our music is uploaded to their site ASAP. We will soon feature a list of web locations where people can find SCI Fidelity music on our web site.
