Fan list for independent artists
An email list for musicians that starts at the merch table
Fans join from the sign-up on your artist site or a QR code at the show, with their consent recorded and the city they choose to share. BandNavigator shows where each one found you, and fan email goes out only when you send it.
The work in view
The crowd goes home and the list stays empty
A great set doesn't help the next show if nobody left an address. A sign-up one scan from the merch table, with a download as a thank-you, turns tonight's room into people you can tell about the next date.
Workflow
Three moves, with the artist in the loop
- 01LOAD-IN
Publish your site's sign-up
Your artist site carries a sign-up form for an email and, if they like, a city. Joining records their consent to artist updates.
- 02SOUNDCHECK
Put the QR code on the merch table
Print the show sheet: a big QR code straight to the sign-up form, so those fans are counted as found at a show.
- 03SHOWTIME
Email the list when there's news
Send the optional fan email from an approved Campaign Plan, test it first, and it reaches only the fans who opted in.
What is ready to work with
Built for the details behind the next decision
Consent on every row
The guest list shows the email and SMS consent each fan gave. A fan who unsubscribes stays off the list, even if someone signs their address up again.
Where fans found you
Show QR code, press kit, social post, fan email or your site, recorded for each fan with a summary above the guest list.
A thank-you for joining
Offer a download from your press kit, and the confirmation email a new fan gets carries the link to it.
Local draw for booking
Fans who share a city count toward booking: tour pitches tell a venue how many fans on your list live within 50 miles of it.
Bring the list you already have
Upload a CSV from Mailchimp, Bandcamp, Squarespace or a spreadsheet. Anyone the file marks as unsubscribed, or who unsubscribed from you, stays off the list.
Buyer questions
What to expect in practice
Is the fan list on the free plan?
Yes. The sign-up form, the show QR code and the guest list come with every plan, Starter included, once your artist site is published.
How do fans join?
From the sign-up on your artist site, by scanning the QR code on your show sheet, or added on the Fans page: one at a time with the consent you captured, or as a CSV of the list you already have, once you confirm everyone on it agreed to hear from you.
Who receives a fan email?
Only fans who said yes to artist updates by email. Every message carries an unsubscribe link, and an unsubscribe is honored from then on.
