May 2007, Delray Beach, FL - In a continued effort to fully automate the administration of live music booking and promotion, Onlinegigs is proud to announce the launch of a new syndication services department. The new service will be included in the regular monthly subscription fee and further automates the distribution of tour dates to music industry portals and media outlets. Onlinegigs is already a powerful Contact Resource Manager for the music industry, with integrated technology for simplifying and automating administrative tasks. Members are easily able to automate things like press releases, fan reminders, updating web sites & social networks, issuing performance contracts, generating itineraries and more.
With the launch of the new syndication department, Onlinegigs members no longer have to manually input tour dates into many of the popular music information portals like Jambase, Mojam, TIBConcerts, Epitunes, Eventful, Myspace, Sonicbids and Pollstar. Onlinegigs can now automatically update each of these sites using various web syndication services and more outlets are being developed everyday. Most independent artists have a difficult time covering all of the bases and making sure that their show information is both up to date and posted to all of the important music industry websites. Onlinegigs members however, now only need to enter tour dates once into their account and that information is then distributed automatically to their website, all over the internet and into print publications.
“The booking and promotional process is incredibly labor intensive, especially when developing new artists,” says founder and CEO, Jay Flanzbaum. “So the next logical step was to automatically extend the promotional reach of our members even further by spreading their tour dates as far and as wide as possible through syndication. Each new partnership will also greatly enhance each members' reach as companies like Jambase develop their own promotional relationships."
Live performances and effective publicity are critical to the development of every new artist's career. Onlinegigs values developing artists as well as the empowerment of musicians, agents, record companies and managers to make a living through independently controlled touring and promotion. Onlinegigs simplifies the booking and promotional process by combining highly detailed and relevant contact information with easy to use, automated functionality. The member community has booked just under 10,000 performances to date and is actively involved in the ongoing development of the program. Onlinegigs constantly seeks out new technologies to further automate the administration of event booking and promotion.
