What is a music promo?


A music promo is a video released by an artist to promo a new album coming out.  It is the best form of promoting a new album because it allows the target audience to get an understanding of the type of music that will be on the album and makes them interested and excited about the new release.  If a music promo is successfully, I t can really help to boost sales of album which generates more profit for the artist.

Music promos can be viewed on many different platforms than ever before as a result of the world wide web becoming bigger and more significant everyday. The following is  a list of the main platforms used to view music promos:

  •     YouTube
  •     Music Channels (for example; MTV)
  •     Facebook
  •     Websites of the artist 
  •     Blogs
  •     Vimeo

Digital technology has had a huge impact on the way in which people view music promos as people are now able to watch videos online whenever they want. In previous years, music promos where only available to watch on music channels (like MTV) meaning less people where able to see it. However now we are able to watch things instantly from where ever we want, thanks to popular sites like YouTube. This means that more people see the video, creating more interested and makes people more likely to buy the song/Album.
