Promotions include national ads in Spin and Billboard magazines, and top major local music magazines in the US and UK as well as Web site advertising, direct mailings, telephone contact and e-mail.

Along with an artist's songs, they include the band's name, address, phone number, song title and link to their Web site or email address. If artists don't have their own Web site or email address, UnsignedArtistsDemos.Com helps them how get one for free. With their own Web site, they could include their band's photos, bios and other contact information. Artists no longer have to send hundreds of demos to record labels. The cost for one song is $100 for six months. For more information visit UnsignedArtistsDemos.Com or email Carol Li at [email protected].
