Musician Tour Notifications
Share
Sam Parr proposes creating an email marketing system specifically for musicians and bands to notify fans about concerts and tours, addressing the gap between where musicians make their money (concerts) and their current poor communication about tour dates.
Key Points:
-
Problem Being Solved:
- Musicians make most money from concerts
- They're "horrible at notifying you when they're coming into town"
- Current notification systems for concerts are inadequate
-
Market Opportunity:
- Large untapped market in music industry
- Direct connection between notification system and revenue (concert tickets)
- Solving real pain point for both musicians and fans
-
Business Model:
- Email marketing system specialized for musicians
- Focus on concert/tour date notifications
- Connect fans directly with ticket purchasing opportunities
Note: While Sam proposes this idea, Noah Kagan cautions about entering unfamiliar markets, suggesting entrepreneurs should focus on problems they understand well or have direct experience with.
