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.
