Importance of Promotion and Effort in Booking and Promotions for Festivals
Effort and promotion play a crucial role in festival bookings. Bands that actively promote and show effort, such as tagging venues and other artists on social media, are more likely to be rewarded with opportunities even if they don't draw a large crowd. By consistently engaging in promotion and demonstrating care for the event, bands and promoters increase their chances of being booked for future events. Working with high-maintenance individuals may prove challenging but ultimately leads to personal growth and rewards. The speaker's experience at Splendor Festival highlights the emphasis on rewarding bands that have shown effort and success in their own shows throughout the year, rather than solely based on drawing a large crowd.
