Delivery Timeline and Promotion Details
Our promotional deliveries typically take about three months. This can vary, however, by 1-2 months depending on factors such as the song's quality, campaign scale, curator placements, and list performance.
It's important to note that if a song doesn’t connect well with its audience, even in a prime spot, it may face higher skip rates and fewer streams, affecting its overall success. Music promotion is not a guaranteed formula for increasing streams, but an opportunity for exposure influenced by many variables.
While we strive to secure placements on curated lists, the rejection rate from top-tier curators can range between 50-90%. As a result, we may sometimes need to rely on smaller lists, which might not perform as strongly.
Audience Demographics
Many artists aim for listeners from the US or other high-value markets. However, most curated lists cater to a global audience, with significant listenership from countries like Brazil and Mexico. The competition for US listeners is particularly fierce, and many lists are designed for audiences in languages such as Portuguese or Spanish.
Priority and Pricing
For those looking to maximize their reach, we offer a priority service that aims for higher placements on more lists. The music promotion landscape is highly competitive, and we believe in maintaining a realistic and transparent approach, providing a clear understanding of what our services can achieve.
