I need some help guys got an appointment

Hi.

I think before you can offer services you need to know what kind of problems they are having with their current situation.

Questions To The Band:

1) What do you feel are the problems with your current website / online presence?

2) What would you like to accomplish, specifically? Sell $5000 more product each month, build a mailing list of 1000 subscribers in 3 months, get 500 more friends/followers/visitors in the next 60 days, etc.

3) How many customers do you currently have?

4) How much does a customer spend per transaction? i.e. What is a typical sale amount?

5) What can you resell to an existing customer?

6) What is the lifetime value of a customer?

7) Do you have any kind of tracking system to tell you how many visitors you get per month?

8) Do you currently have a customer database?

9) Besides the website, what kind of advertising is being done?

10) How much do you spend on these other forms of advertising?

11) Do you feel these other forms of advertising are successful? Why? What is their ROI?

12) How much do you spend on promoting your current website?

13) How often do you contact your current customers?

14) How many new customers / sales have you had in the last month? The last 3 months? The last 6 months?

15) What makes your product / service / band unique?

16) Who is the target audience?

17) What does the target audience want? Music samples, discounts, newsletter, forum, ability to talk with the band members, advance notice of concerts, etc.

18) How do you currently reach your target audience?

19) What is your advertising budget?

20) How many more sales / customers would you expect to get for your given budget?

This is just some sample questions. I would try to gather as much intelligence as possible about their current situation, what they want to improve, and how much they are willing to spend to improve it.

Once you get that information you can formulate a strategy to meet their needs.

Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

Good points here, something like a band is really dependent on buzz and (hopefully getting viral through) social media. Nevertheless they should have a central homepage, even if it just features the most basic things, like album, song samples, tour galery, portrays of the bands members etc. That's just the basis and all the social sites should have a link to that and it should rank at the top spot if you google for the bands name.

If you want to create some professional and slick looking videos, check out animoto.com and then use these videos on all the social sites and youtube.

You'll have better luck with a biz owner... Its not you, its just that you can only talk business to a business minded person.
