Here’s a cool tool that could enhance booking efforts for artists: ArtistRequest is an app designed to entice promoters when they’re most interested about the artist they can potentially be booking. ArtistRequest creates a booking request form right on the artist’s Facebook fan page, and can also be embedded on their website or wherever else they’d like it.
While the plethora of apps and marketing tools out there can help artists promote their gigs to fans, this app comes as a way to positively impact
the B2B side of their promotional efforts, which is certainly a welcomed addition to the artist toolkit. By using ArtistRequest, artists can potentially see more booking requests through an increased visibility, and most importantly, it just makes it that much easier for promoters to get in touch with them. Once submitted, requests are auto-forwarded to an email address of the artist's choosing, and submission forms also provide the artist’s management and booking agency contact information as well.
