It’s best to keep your 1 sheet brief and to the point. You don’t want to give them too much information. The shorter it is the more chance you have of them actually reading it. Keep in mind how many CD’s they receive in a day, let alone a week. Write a short bio and bullet point the facts about your band.  Be sure to utilize all the important information that your band has accomplished to date such as positive press reviews, CD street date and don’t forget to list your contact information.

There is no need to spend a lot of money on the design of your 1 sheet or promo kit packaging. You can send your CD and 1 sheet loose in an envelope (no need for folders or 3 ring binders).  Remember it’s about the music.
