Pro Tone Pedals: Lets talk business

Lets talk business

This post will not have a thing to do with pedals... or even the art of making music. Lets talk a little bit about business, or maybe not at all... its up to you guys I guess.

Over the course of the last few years I've learned a lot about the music industry, marketing- both on and off line, and business in general... some of it painfully obvious, some of it is some pretty sneaky shit.

So what I'm thinking is I would like to share some of this stuff with you guys. Not everything I would share would be useful to everyone reading these... some of it will be useful to shop owners, some of it will be useful to other boutique hardware companies, but much of it will be useful in a band scenario. Bands are a business, whether you like it or not. The sooner you accept that fact the sooner you might make a dollar playing music.

BUT before I just start typing away at something, I want to know what type of stuff you guys want to read about, what would you find helpful? Do you need to get more traffic to your website in order to sell more merch, do you want to get more people looking at your promo video, how about help with search engine optimization, or are you just looking for a second opinion on a topic you think you've got a grasp of? Fire away... I love helping you guys out, and want to give you guys more than just a self serving promotional machine with this blog.

If you're not comfortable asking for some advice on a topic in an open forum, feel free to email them to me at ask@protonepedals.com

In order to keep the main Pro Tone blog streamlined I'll probably make a new blog dedicated to the business stuff, but again, I need your feedback. If you guys just don't care I wont bother.. but if you're interested leave a comment or shoot me an email.

All the best,

Dennis
