When you cannot find a label to you back you in your first record making project, all is not lost. If you have the funding, you can still make the album and then promote your own classical album to sell. In essence, you are going to be your own PR firm to get you noticed and hopefully, eventually signed with a legitimate label.
A mistake that a lot of people will make is that they try to take on too much. You are already venturing into an area that you are not that familiar with so you are really going to need to keep it very basic. If you try to take on too much or do too much, you are going to end up sinking your effort before it ever really gets off the ground.
It all starts with setting a goal for yourself in regards to what you want to achieve with your promotion. After you have that in mind, you can go about putting a game plan together to make that happen. You are much better off breaking everything down into simple steps so that you can see the progression over time and get some satisfaction as stages are completed.
As you move forward on this new venture of yours, you will want to make a press kit. This will be something that you can put out for people to see and that you can give away to all of the new contacts that you will be making. The press kit should contain: all of your contact information (including your website), CD, photos, and a bio.
As you are putting everything together, you need to make sure that it is focused at the right audience. When you are doing something locally, you have no need to spend money trying to attract a national audience. It will only be a waste of money. Stay on target and make sure that you are using your budget effectively.
It is very important at this stage that you do not waste money. In order to make sure that you are getting the most out of every dollar that you spend, you have to keep your efforts focused on the groups of people that are more likely to attend your show. If you target the wrong audience or go too broad with your targeted group, you could end up wasting precious funding that you may never get back.
As all of this is happening, you are going to continue to make new contacts. It is of the utmost importance that you make sure that you get them your contact information and that you in turn get theirs. You never know when someone's name will come up in the future and how they are going to be able to help you out. It is a daunting task to take all of this on by yourself, but stay focused and organized and you should be able to pull it off.
