Calling All Juke fans!
The Jukes are looking for a few good men and women to join the
Southside Street Team! Do you think you have what it takes to be
a Street Team member? What exactly is a Street Team? Well,
simply read below and if you’re interested in helping out the
band, we’d like to hear from you!
What Is A
Street Team?
Street Teams are comprised of groups of fans that join forces to
help promote their favorite band in their hometown. Members use
promotional materials like Flyers and Posters to give away to
people and hang up around town. Additionally, the team spreads
the word throughout the online world via related bulletin board
postings, encouraging the adding of official web banners to
related websites and e-mails.
What do I
have to do as a Street Team member?
All we ask is that you reach out to music fans like yourself by
promoting the Jukes. We will be supplying Street Team members
with access to a separate web page link, allowing them to access
downloadable flyers and/or posters. All you need to do, when the
Jukes come to your neighborhood is make a printout of the flyer,
make some Xeroxes and spread the word. We’re hoping to get
multiple members from each area (and we mean all 50 states, and
any other countries as well!) and when the list is compiled and
there is a gig in your area, we will put you in touch with other
members in your area as well, encouraging everyone to work
together.
Do I have to
pay to become a Street Team member?
No. Becoming a member is 100% free!
How is a
Street Team member chosen?
You must be a dedicated Jukes fan. We are looking for anyone who
has some free time and would be willing to promote Southside
Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. In return you will be rewarded for
all of your efforts. Please note that each city is on a first
come, first serve basis. Simply fill out the form at the
bottom of this page to be considered.
Where are
some good places to give away promo materials?
Since you know your hometown better than anyone else, hand
out materials at places where people just like you would hang
out. In case you're stumped or are looking for some ideas,
here's a list of places that are great for handing out promo
materials:
-
After shows, outside a Club or an Arena
- Music Retail
Stores (Independent Record Stores, Video & DVD Stores)
& Music Equipment Shops
- Lifestyle Shops
(Unique Clothing Stores, Army Surplus Stores, Thrift Shops)
- Bowling Alleys,
Amusement Parks
-
Telephone poles (not if it’s illegal! The band can’t afford
to be bailing
people out of jail...and for the record, are
NOT responsible if you end
up there on your own!)
-
Gyms or Fitness Centers
-
Coffee Shops
Remember to
only hang up Flyers and Posters where you have gotten permission
to hang them up!
What's in it
for me?
The chance to participate in the excitement of promoting The
Jukes!
Is there an
E-Team?
All Street Team Members are asked to also promote The Jukes
online. You can do this by posting about the band in chat rooms,
spreading the word in related message boards, etc.
Note:
Please do not spam websites with multiple posts or e-mails.
These posts/e-mails are usually found annoying and often will be
quickly deleted. We do not condone spam!
Do I have to
send in feedback?
Yes. Your feedback is extremely important. Let us know what
you've done, where you've done it, whom you've met, and their
thoughts. You can email your feedback to Jukelink@aol.com, so if
you are chosen, put it in your address books! We encourage your
feedback so that we can keep track of how you're creating a buzz
in your area.
Are there
any Street Team Rules?
Yes.
-
You may only sign up for the Jukes Street Team once and
solely
in your current place of residence.
- All collateral
provided to you is to be given out freely. It may NOT be
sold. DO NOT sell your materials anywhere - this
includes on eBay
or any other auction website.
-
Some stores or venues may have rules against handing out
materials
on their property. In addition, it is against the
law to affix stickers or
posters to public or private property. Please do
not do this without
asking for permission first.
Note: By
not following the rules we have the right to disqualify you from
your position as a team member.
How do I get
promotional materials to hand out?
We will let you know when materials become available through
email. Please note that if you are chosen, we will notify you
privately via email and most likely only contact you thereafter
if and when the band is coming to your neighborhood. Being a
Street Team member of a particular area does not necessarily
guarantee that the band will be coming to your town. That all
depends on offers from promoters.
All flyers will
be set up in Adobe Acrobat Reader®, so make sure you get your
hands on a free copy of it by visiting http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
So do you
think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you!
