Thanks for your enthusiasm in our music... it is greatly appreciated
by us! Here's a new program for "MADAME STATIC" that we hope
will spread the rocktronica of All the Queen's Men!
The
New AQM Rep Program
As
most of you know, music is best spread fan to fan by word of
mouth. We are finding out that the big record companies' approach
of cramming songs and pop stars down your throat, does not work
in building a long-term career or loyal fans. Our goal with
the rep program is to create a community of AQM fans all over
the world.
What
is the AQM Rep Program?
The
AQM Rep Program is our grassroots way of spreading the music,
having fun, and giving you the chance to make a little bit of
money.
Right
now we're mostly known in the Northeast (with pockets of international
fans in Switzerland, London, Paris and Angola). But with our
music and YOUR help, we can change that. We see each rep as
the local "Mad Monarch". In your "Queendom", you're the kiosk
of AQM info, the pusher of AQM music & merch, and the chief
posterchild. You're the key to building our Queendom of listeners,
and we want you to know what's going on with us. You'll be hearing
a lot from us. And we want to hear from you, too, ... about
your ideas for the band or the rep program and what's going
on at your place. Put us in your email address book, and remember
email only works if you use it!
Welcome
to the Queendom! Meet Madame Static!
As
you probably know, September 22, 2001 was the release date of
our new Madame Static CD. Madame Static is available in stores
at Newbury Comics in Cambridge, Boston, and Newton as well as
online at Amazon.com
and CDBaby.com.
Reps
get special volume discounts on all our merchandise. We want
to get this music out throughout the world, get new friends
on board, and help supply future AQM fans who'll want our early
discs after hearing our latest release. Reps get special deals
on our merchandise. For example, Madame Static retails at $11.99.
As an AQM rep, you can purchase them for $8.00 each with a minimum
order of 5. We suggest you resell them for $10.00. Mail orders
by check are acceptable -- see the merch page for all the info.
You can buy your merchandise from us up front and sell it on
campus, at your company, etc.
AQM

In
addition to your sales efforts, there are lots of other ways
you can help us get the word out about our music:
