Founding Members

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Mark

Over the next few weeks you might start to see this on some artist posse pages:

This means that the bands’ posse page is locked. This will be done if they aren’t offering any rewards for you to promote them.

What this means is that any events or products on this page will not be able to be accessed until there are a minimum number of fans interested in promoting this artist and they claim the posse. You will be able to tell how many more fans are needed from the lock screen.

If you know that a band you love is touring soon you can sign up to their posse as a Founding Member. From there you can invite friends and other fans to get involved to help unlock their posse page.

Once a posse becomes ‘unlocked’ this lets us and the bands know that there are ACTIVE FANS who want to help them.

Once the bands themselves get involved there are more likely to be rewards and other great prizes for helping promote their events and products.

Updates to the Rewards Structure

Posted on October 16, 2011 by niriko
We introduced ‘Quests’ to the site a few months ago so that bands could reward their fans for promoting to their friends in an easy and really transparent way . We can still have commissions listed as rewards, but this allowed bands to  also offer experiences like backstage access, meet and greets or shout outs at shows as well as physical rewards like Cds, t-shirts or mp3s.
Quests were the first step in the larger plan of rewards. It was a basic mechanism of fans completing one task to earn one reward, then another task to earn the next reward.
We have added another layer of rewarding as of today.  Fans can now complete tasks or quests, but can be rewarded with points as well or instead of the singular reward. When fans get points they can redeem rewards (which are all listed on the right) of the artists posse page – they can keep their points and keep promoting for a higher reward, or redeem them as they go.
Once fans have redeemed their points their balance goes back to zero and they start completing tasks again to earn more points. Points only apply to each individual band posse – if you get 20 points for The Aston Shuffle, they only count towards the Aston Shuffle and their rewards.
This hasn’t changed any of quests listed on the site before this update. They are still running and the rewards are all still available.
The points system will be available for new campaigns listed from this week – there are a few going up as we speak..one is here – we will be posting about them here once they are finalised.
We will be adding to this functionality in the coming weeks along also adding messaging features so fans can be notified when new rewards are listed for bands they are interested in.
If you have any questions about any of the points systems or rewards leave us a reply here or post on the feedback forum.
