Extra Twitter help

4BR gives you more — with a new addition to its Twitter Service to help bands.

tWITTER
 

4BR has announced a new initiative to help bands recruit potential players to their ranks.

Twitter Service

Every band that now signs up for the 4BR classified service will now see their advert appear on the 4BR Twitter service within 24 hours too.

New and existing

All existing members will benefit from the extra exposure automatically, and in the next few weeks we hope to expand the service to include entries for concert listings too.

Concert promotions

4BR will ensure that the initial concert listing is shown, and will then send out a reminder on Twitter in the week leading up to the event to hopefully give that little extra boost.

Up to date

So if you haven’t joined the 4BR Classified Service, get signed up. If you are already a member, then make sure you get those entries in for players and update all those concert dates too.

Join up

If you wish to join the 4BR classified Service it still costs £50.00 for 12 months and £30.00 for 6 months.
