Email is still the most effective way of reaching your loyal fans — the ones who will come to shows, contribute to crowdfunding campaigns, and listen to every new song you write.
Here are six methods for boosting email signups at your concerts:
1. Contests and audience participation
2. Offer a “free” incentive
3. Use a mobile app
4. Discount your merch for subscribers
5. Tell your fans how important your email list is to your career
6. Dispatch your most attractive or compelling friend, with a clipboard
