Hi all...

I'm here to pick the collective hive brain of Christmas fans everywhere...and more specifically of Christmas music fans. A friend and I have written and recorded a Christmas song. I don't want to be accused of spamming, so I won't link to it here, but if you send me a private message I'll be happy to direct you to a place where you can listen to it.

What I'm asking you good people is, how do you think we should go about pushing this song out to as many Christmas music fans as possible. We're not looking to be famous ourselves (although rich would be nice!). What we'd ideally like is for some other act to pick up the song and make it theirs. But to do that I think we need to get it known among the aficionados. The question is, how?!!!

Any ideas or inspiration will be most welcome. And, as I said, I'm happy to send the song to anyone who's interested.

thanks,
eoghan

P.S. For what it's worth, my own top three Crimbo classics are:
1. The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole
2. Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade
3. Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea

:give:Hello, and Welcome To The Board!

 

[Meceka]

Welcome, eoghan1!

 

[trackrebel]

hey there welcome to the board....how exiting...the song I mean.....I guess youtube is a must....also try to find Christmas groups on facebook as well and ask the moderators if You are allowed to share it there.........We have some great music guys here on the page as well....it is best to start a new thread about Your song....then the music lovers here can maybe help You....radiojon and others might be better to help ya with that!!!

 

[eoghan1]

Thanks for the advice trackrebel.I'd be happy to start a thread about the song or about Christmas music in general, but for now I need to build up some reply credits so that I'm unlocked for starting threads. Good to hear that there are some others here that might have specific experience around promoting Christmas music.

(I sent you a link to the song in response to your PM.)

I'll be glad to pass a link or something along for you or help you get it posted to a thread. I do appreciate you asking and wanting to follow the rules. A general link to a website can be made right now, by you, in the "website" section of the Marketplace forums -- that's what it is there for.

I would contact RadioJonD to get him to consider playing the song on Kringle Radio, contact JayIsh about possible play on Merry Christmas Radio. And you can contact me if you want to play your song and talk about it on the Merry Podcast.

We love Christmas creations of all kinds and I'm sure you'll find you are amongst friends here.

Many thanks Jeff. I've taken your suggestion and posted a little note in the Marketplace (although this is less about selling and more about just spreading the word).

I'll also contact you about your other suggestions.
