Features of ReverbNation
The ReverbNation account has a lot of amazing features and interesting benefits attached to it. I have listed only a few of them below;
- Crowd Reviews
The most helpful feature on the platform for me is the Crowd Reviews. it helps artists to discover what people think about their music.
This features honest and detailed feedback about your song’s performance and market appeal from listeners in your genre.
- Reverb Press Kit (RPK)
The Platform offers RPK; a digital press kit uses to send vital information to managers, labels, agents, and venues so as to get more exposure or to help one book shows.
The kit provides opportunities for music licensing, festivals, and talent identification programs for labels.
It is one of the main ReverbNation services, it is used to book a venue through a GigFinder feature.
The Reverb Press Kit can sometimes include customisable statistics and traits regarding a band’s online presence.
It has a lot of other benefits such as using the Fan Collector Widget to get emails online.
Also, the Fan Reach can be used to design, send and track email via Facebook, and Twitter.
- Promote It
The ReverbNation also has another interesting feature called ‘Promote It’. This unique feature delivers targeted ads for bands or artists in so many music hotspots all over the web, such as on Facebook and YouTube.
All you need to do is to provide ReverbNation with some information, and they will create ads and a custom landing page for you.
Their Ads are optimised in a way that artists get the maximum number of fan interactions possible.
