DROWNING POOL Revamps Fan Experience
Texas Rockers Offer Tour VIP Packages, New Website, Merchandise
and Fan Club Management by PAID, INC.
BOSTON & DALLAS (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 2, 2008 --
Multi-platinum Texas hard rock band DROWNING
POOL will, for the first time, offer interactive VIP packages that
elevate the fan’s concert going
experiences. VIP packages include meet & greets and photo opportunities
with band members, early entry passes, special merchandise, autographed
collectibles and more. VIP packages are available at www.DrowningPool.com.
PAID,
Inc. makes this announcement as the band readies for
its new co-headlining tour with Saliva beginning on October 17 (see
itinerary below). This wide variety of new opportunities
and online content is designed to strengthen ties directly with the fans
and comes as DROWNING POOL’s
latest single, “37 Stitches,”
is advancing up the active rock charts. Drowning Pool’s
CD, Full
Circle is attracting new listeners and has ignited longtime
followers through its extensive radio play and the live touring
experience.
Paid, Inc. celebrity services (OTCBB:PAYD), excels at building
unique brands and associated collateral materials that resonate with
each band’s fan base and
providing special content to the devoted supporters. Allen
Kovac, founder of Tenth
Street Entertainment and Eleven Seven Music, the band’s
management company and label says, “Our
approach at Eleven Seven Music and Tenth Street Entertainment is to
identify each band’s fans and
find every way to reach out to them personally with unique experiences
and value proposition. By associating with Paid, Inc., we
will deliver a whole new level of interaction, products and services to
enhance the DROWNING POOL experience.”
DROWNING POOL has unveiled a new online look and feel with the
launch of its redesigned website and interactive fan
club which offers an array of activities, information and
downloadable content, providing the opportunity for fans to interface
directly with the band. A new line of merchandise will be
available on tour, through retailers and on the website. Additionally,
Drowning Pool and Paid, Inc., are collaborating to develop mobile
promotions such as exclusive contests, online sponsorships and mobile
advertising.
Keith Garde, Paid, Inc.’s
celebrity services president, comments, “DROWNING
POOL has created their own brand of completely modern rock, which is
especially evident with Full Circle. As another of their songs
climbs the charts, the timing is outstanding for this boost in their
merchandising, fan club and online marketing. We love this
band and are really excited to have the opportunity to help them build
their brand and their relationships with their fans.”
