La Nicks' Street Team

[JazmenFlowers]

I'm not going to ask why Stevie doesn't have a street team.

but, srsly, why?

is there any way we could put one together ourselves? anyone remotely give a squirt besides me?

I'll bite. What is a street team?

^^^^

I was going to ask the same thing!!!

...because she's a 60 year old established singer/songwriter that already has a fan base. street teams are generally for new artists and up-in-coming artists. there'd be no point

a street team goes out and markets the artist/radio station/product what have you in areas where the target audience/consumer for said artist/radio station/product, etc. would most likely be. it's a promotional tactic.

Practical I think. A lot of younger people I'd venture to say don't even know who Stevie Nicks is. We all know that she's converted a few younger people to her witchy ways...

Dont know about a street team...But I am game for a "streaker team" of Ledgies

Did I miss two birthdays?

You know, I would volunteer to be on her street team.
Going up to people on the street, saying "hey, ever hear of Stevie Nicks"? No?
Well, let me tell you my friend, you are in for an treat. Handing them a poster and a promotional disc with a couple songs on it.

Or have a stand on the street just totally decked out in Stevie stuff.
Music pumping out onto the street, that sort of thing.

Ha, sounds more like a religious conversion you've got planned there!
.... Then again, that is how it feels at times.

of course there's a point. that may be the general use for street teams, but there are lots of artists who use street teams to keep interest and awareness up. artists with as many years under their belt as Stevie.

Great idea Jazz! I've pretty much been Stevie's Street Team for 30 year's now covering most of Southern Ontario

LOVE your sig Jazz! That shot with the white hat would be soooooooo perfect for the cover! I swear man, you need to be in some sort of creative art advertising buisness or something. Maybe you already are?

no, there really isn't. it's not like this is new material -- it's a greatest hits album. at most, you'll see a television ad and a mention in entertainment weekly and when she tours? a mention on your local radio station if she's coming to your city. there's no point for a record label to put money into hiring a street team -- there just isn't, imo.

Wow - I think we should create little teams of "Street Angels" how funny would that be. Although if it did happen everyone would want different songs on the "free promotional disc" ... let the battle commence!
