Unbeknownst to the general UK populace (thanks to Warner UK's almost
non-existant promotion), today marks the release of Seal's latest single.
A double A-side of "Waiting For You" and "Love's Divine", the CD
contains just those two tracks - a disappointment considering the
plethora of club and dance mixes of both tracks.
HELP PROMOTE...
BUY IT
Please show your support by purchasing the CD from a retailer that
provides sales data to the chart companies. I only know of HMV and
Virgin.
RADIO PLAY
You're unlikely to hear either track on the radio, so I've put
together a list of UK radio stations, along with studio phone and fax
details and DJ/show email addresses. If you have any further stations,
please send them to me.
GUERILLA PRODUCT PLACEMENT
When you're in a record store, grab a handful of the single and move
them from the shoe-height shelves up to the eye-level, high profile
shelves.
Be a little less obvious and place the CD behind one of the existing
CDs. This way the Seal will be on show once a copy of Britney's
"Toxic" or Kylie's "Red Blooded Woman" has been bought, and you're
less likely to be thrown out for manipulating the store's highly
valued and much coveted product placement plan.
If you're really brave, grab a dozen copies and stick them behind the
CDs on the highly paid-for end of aisle shelves located at the front
of the store :)
I am not responsible for any bruising, physical or mental, resulting
from being caught ;)
Any other ideas on raising Seal's profile? Let me know!
