Indie Band Manager

Indie Band Manager

What Is Indie Band Manager?
Indie Band Manager is database software. You download it, install it, then run it locally on your computer just like Word, Excel, or Explorer (and by-the-way, it integrates well with all of those). Since it's a local application rather than a web-based one, you can use it anywhere, no internet access required. Fly! Be free! And it's so easy to use you'll laugh out loud.

Need help promoting? Point and click through 1000s of radio stations and press contacts... then click to send emails with links to your EPK & mp3's... or click to print labels and personalized letters to mail them your CD and press kit! Use the To Do List to automate your follow up calls.
Need help booking gigs? Point and click through 1000s of clubs and venue contacts... then click to send them booking request emails... and follow-up with a one-click contract!
Need help selling merch? Point and click through your inventory (CDs, shirts, hats, stickers, whatever)... then click to print an invoice or send a personalized thank you letter. Dynamically track your quantity in stock, profit and loss, and hottest markets.
Pitching songs, jingles, or voice overs? to TV, film, or advertisers? It's all about follow up and persistence. Track who's heard what and when, where your songs are posted online, which agents are generating the most business.
Do you teach lessons or have a recording studio? Track your clients, appointments, sessions, etc... and then click-click-rock through your invoices to keep the cash-flow rolling!
Working freelance jobs on the side? Websites? Publicity? Sound? Booking? Programming? Carpentry? Track your hours and bill for every minute. Professional invoices in seconds.

Take it to the next level, you won't be sorry! And besides, there's NO RISK. What have you got to lose?

Can Indie Band Manager Really Do All That? Come on, Show Me!
The Main Menu of Indie Band Manager gives a good overview of how it "does all that" indeed...



At the very top of the Main Menu you'll see a row of buttons. Each button takes you to a different section of the program to help you manage the different parts of your business, career, or part-time hobby. Let's look at those top buttons first (from left to right):

1000s of Industry Resources: Want to send your CD to radio stations? Want to book your band at clubs or college town venues? Want to get newspapers or magazines to write reviews of your show? Click the Directory button to search through a list of great resources. Even search by "zip code radius" to find contacts within 50 miles of a given location.
Complete Contact Management: Need to organize all your names and numbers? The MyPeople button takes you to your "personal address book" so you have a centralized place to manage all your fans, venues, press contacts, business partners, etc. Need to send emails to everyone? Or postcards? Or letters? the MyPeople section creates personalized mass emails and letters for any number of contacts in just a few clicks.
Complete Bookings & Tour Management: Want to tour more? Is tour management overwhelming for you? Click the Bookings button to organize every last detail. Quickly print a contract to confirm your performances and pay. Print a promotion checklist to remind you of all the steps to promote your show. Print a gig checklist so you'll remember all your patch cords and gear. Track your expenses and income. Print out tour itineraries for the band and crew... or to post on your website for your fans. It's everything you need to tour!
To Do Lists:If you need to remember something, write it down! Not everyone likes To Do Lists, but the bottom line is THEY WORK. Need to call someone in 6 months? No sweat. Need to send out 164 press kits tomorrow? Piece of cake.
Calendar: Quickly eye up your tours. What dates need to be filled still? Can we squeeze an afternoon solo show in here before the evening's full band show? You can easily manage multiple bands with convenient color-coding too. All good.
Awesome Inventory Management: Real-time inventory management in this inexpensive a program?!! Ridiculous! But true. Sellling CDs? DVDs? Shirts? Stickers? Buttons? Tour jackets? Hoodies? Manage everything from quantity in stock to profit and loss. But wait, there's more... you can even send out emails to all the people who bought your last CD offering them $2 off your new CD... do you see how incredibly powerful that can be? Gi-normous.
Incredibly Simple & Fast Invoicing: What's the age old real estate mantra: "Always be closing" right? A key to running a successful business is to always be in position to accept money. Generating professional invoices at the click of a button is a huge part of this. This goes for selling merchandise sure, but also for services! Do you teach music lessons? Do you charge for studio time? Do you sell jingles? Are you a publicist or booking agent? Do you even just do odd jobs occasionally? Let me tell you something... the Invoice Tool is your friend.
Income and Expense Ledger: If you can prove to the I.R.S. that every expense is legitimate you end up paying A LOT LESS TAXES. All good! So here's the place to track everything. CDs, posters, stamps, meals, cords, amps, strings, light bulbs, you name it! If you bought it for a gig, you can write it off. And for those who like to plan or budget... you get detailed tour history as well so you can quickly see which shows are most profitable. "We sold 200 shirts in Phoenix last year! We better load up the trunk!"
Time Tracking: Do you ever bill for your time? Four hours here, two hours there... it can really add up. Now you can track your time by project and generate invoices in a flash. This is HUGE for publicists, sound men, tour managers, you name it... even attorneys or carpenters. make sure you get paid for every hour you put in, track it!
Manage Multiple Artists: Manage multiple bands all in this one program. Enter the band's name, address, and logo just once... and watch as the program prints out customized contracts, letters, emails, postcards, tour itineraries, you name it... forever! You can even manage multiple COMPANIES this way... do you have a record label? A booking agency? A promotion company? All of these can be managed from this one program just by setting up the name and logo in the My Artists file one time.
Manage Your Songs: Yes, you can manage all your songs too. Print lyric sheets, print set lists, track which websites have your MP3's posted, how many plays you've gotten, whatever. Even store music notation in jpeg format. It's up to you.
