How To Mine More Fans From Your Audience Every Time You Perform
A custom made Gig Backdrop is the last word in promoting your performance.
It guarantees your audience know who you are, and at the best possible time, while you’re on stage.
It helps to brand your performance and these days an arty drum skin just isn’t enough.
I know being in the entertainment industry, any gig you go to, either to perform or enjoy. You’ll know every band and probably every artist you see. It’s your business and your passion, it’s important to you.
Though most of your audience are not that band savvy.
Your Gig Backdrop Helps Convert Your Audience Into Fans
Sure your fans know who you are, but they’re not the ones you are after. They will, of course, get a kick out of seeing your backdrop though.
It’s the other people in your audience. The ones who have come along to enjoy your performance, that we are after.
The people who may not know you, not yet.
This is an opportunity for you to turn them into fans.
Look, I am not going to harp on (no pun intended, maybe a little) about the benefits of a Gig Banner custom made for your band. You know this already, why else would you be here?
What your stage backdrop does, is use the time and effort you and the band have already invested in making sure you put on a great show and capitalise on it, as much as possible.
Your performance is made more effective in so far as more people in your audience will find out who you are. And this starts working before you even hit the stage.
Your On Stage Billboard
Your backdrop is an effective on-stage Billboard until you start your first set.
Your gig backdrop won’t get everyone in your audience, but those people out there who like your stuff, won’t be left in any doubt as to who you are.
And that’s important.
What I hope to do with this band backdrop promo, is to make this vital piece of stage kit available to you, where price and design may have been an obstacle in the past.
My five most popular Band Banners sizes are listed below for your consideration. All your artwork is free, plus I have a few other goodies free to really help super-charge your band promotion.
I’m happy to use your design, or together we can flesh out your ideas and come up with something unique, something you can be proud of and that will make sure your audience won’t forget you.
These days, my Band backdrops are made from a tough woven polyester. Like a heavy flag fabric.
They come fully hemmed. And you can have your choice of black (rust resistant) metal eyelets. Or full-length pole loops for display, I can even use velcro loops if you want.
You’re the boss and it is your call.
Woven band backdrops fold up beautifully and are easy to tour with.
They resist creasing and they really do help you get more from every performance.
If it gets marked or grubby, your can wash your backdrop, fantastic.
My digital printing is colour fast, though I would recommend using a bath or a basin to wash your backdrop by hand.
Mum’s washing machine may stretch the fabric. The sheer size of your backdrop in a washing machine might make this a risky proposition.
And we all give Mum a tough enough time already, regardless of how old we are. 🙂
That’s it.
Here are my Gig Backdrop prices, along with my useful list of bonuses to help convince you. All available to you for free.
If you need any more info, feel free to get in touch. I like working with bands and look forward to hearing from you.
All the best, or “Break a leg” may be more appropriate.
Have a Good One
Steve
PS. You can also save even more if you have your own “Print Ready” Artwork to use too 🙂 The BIGGER Your Gig Backdrop, the more you can save.

Get Your Backdrop Right The First Time...
An Open Letter ToAustralia's Professional Musicians& Entertainers
Dear Music Professional
How long have you and your band been thinking about a Band Backdrop (Band Banner) to help "amp up" your performance?
It can be hard to know where to start.
Working with as many Aussie Bands and Entertainers as I have, chances are I have at least some idea of what you are going through.
Happy as I am to answer the questions that come my way about backdrops & scrims, from people like you in the music industry.
I always felt that phone calls and emails were a cumbersome way to put the information you need in your hands.
There was a lot of common ground in the concerns and questions when I spoke with Pro Muso's about the do's and don't's of getting their backdrops right.
Questions that, through experience, I have found answers to and pretty much nailed over the last few years.
To help make the process easier on you, I had to come up with a better method of delivering this information to you.
One where the majority of what you need to know about band banners (Gig Backdrops I call them), was available to you 24/7.
So you can get at it whenever you want - and not just during normal business hours.
Because you are not in a normal business (whatever a normal business is...).
To that end, I put together a comprehensive Audio Guide based on my experience working with Aussie Bands (new and old, BIG and Up and coming), that answers the questions I most often hear.
I call it the Gig Backdrop Brain Dump.
It's about 12 and a half minutes long and it goes a long way to answering much of what you need to know to get your Backdrop right.
The Braindump Audio is made so you can find out exactly what you need, and when you need to know it.
To help guarantee you get your backdrop and Amp Scrims spot on - The First time.
To be honest, it is information you can use whether you use me to help you or not.
A few of the things I talk about in the Brain Dump are;
Three reasons not to use PVC Vinyl for your Band’s Backdrop.
How you can use your Backdrop (and Scrims) to turn casual observers in your audience into fans.
Tips on how to make sure you get exactly what you want when you submit you artwork to anyone creating a backdrop for you.
To help keep this info in the hands of only the people it was designed for, I ask only one thing.
That you enter your name and an email address below, so I can send you the details to listen to the Brain Dump audio immediately and privately.
If you are keen to find out what you need to know I'll talk with you on the other side.
Cheers & Thanks
To Your Success

If You Have Been Thinking About a Backdrop (Band Banner) for Your Band, You Really Should Hear The Brain Dump Before You Start Organising Anything
This is a Backdrop I made some time back for the "Recreational Rockstars". The RockStars had their own print ready and beautiful artwork, the size was 2,000 by 2,000 millimetres. It was made using my very popular "Blockout Fabric" (I don't recommend vinyl backdrop fabric) and was finished with both Nickel Plated Eyelets (rust resistant & Black Chrome in colour) and pole loops on both sides (Info about that in the Gig Backdrop Brain Dump).
A backdrop like this one is On Sale right now for $299 delivered Australia Wide. Production time is 5-7 working days from "print ready" artwork approval by you.
And if you need a hand with creating your artwork, No Problem, 95% of all my artwork is free. Special stuff, Band Logos & complicated graphics (really complicated) will be cost more. The reason being is I want to be able to offer you a complete & comprehensive service and I do use sub-contract Graphic Designers when I need something really special for you ;)
Your performance is made more effective in so far as more people in your audience will find out who you are. And this starts working before you even hit the stage.
