Standard Features
-
Promo page (biography,
photo, slideshow, audio samples, song list, itinerary, etc.)
Your promo
page will include your promotional bio (in press-release style), your favorite
photo, and up to ten additional photos contained in a "slideshow" presentation.
You may also submit up to six 30-second audio clips to showcase your talents
for potential buyers. Also included is your current songlist, a list of your
group members (if applicable), and your current itinerary. Your
Booksomebody.com membership provides you with the equivalent of a full-featured
website for just the cost of your yearly membership! You may also include a
link to your own website if desired.
-
Automated online
booking with schedule-based search
Potential
buyers may search for talent by specifiying what type of act they want (single,
band, etc.) as well as the type of music and price range they desire. The
GigTrax system will search our database and you will be presented to each buyer
based upon the type of entertainment yoru provide, your price range, and
whether or not you are available for the engagement. If the buyer agrees to the
terms of your standard agreement, they may book you for the engagement by
submitting an electronic request with any required deposit. The agreement will
be printed for the buyer to sign and send to you. No intervention is required
on your part unless you want to be contacted before such an arrangement is
finalized. The system not only considers where you live, but WHERE YOU ARE
SCHEDULED when offering your services to potential buyers.
-
Standard electronic
booking contracts (customizable)
Your
membership in Booksomebody.com includes a copy of your standard booking
agreement for the buyer to view. If the buyer agrees to the terms of your
standard agreement, they make book your services without any intervention
necessary by you. You may modify or supplement your standard contract at any
time.
-
GigTrax electronic gig
calendar / fan notification system
The GigTrax
system provides an easy-to-use scheduling calendar which you can access and
modify at any time. You may include both public and private (for band members
and insiders only) information about your performances. The system also allows
your fans to check on your schedule, as well as sign up to be notified by email
of every schedule change, modification, or addition. You may use the system to
broadcast a message to all fan club members or just to your band members.
