Help - Press Kit?

[radioclash]

Yay! I just heard back from a music writer - finally! She writes for www.BellaOnLine.com.

This is her response -

"Shoot me a press kit and I'll feature them". (mailing address deleted)

Thanks,

Peggy


So I did send her the link to listen to the album online at VH1, but she clearly wants something by MAIL.

I need everyone's thoughts.

I'm thinking about:
1. Printing out the band bio
2. Sending her a CD ? ? ?

and I really want to her to understand how great the band is - so maybe a few concert reviews? Or maybe there's an article/interview that I should print out?

What else?

Help!

I actually use do press kits for a livng...Sony should be sending them out by the bushel but a press kit contains press release, bio. 8x10 publicity photo, copy of the CD, and contact info for the band management/record label it should all be assembled in a folder with the bands name on front and there is a special little slot on the inside cover to place a biz card (usually the pr person)
hope that helps

Excellent! I couldn't have asked for a more qualified answer.

I really wanted to add a personal touch, but I'll refrain and keep it simple and as professional looking as I can.

Thank You, polarfan!

Stiletto if you run into any Sony people let them know i'm available for an interview
Glad I could help, I ususally dont want to put my two cents in cuz I dont want to sound like a "know it all" but I do have some practical experience in promotions. Hope it helps the guys.
