Partner With Us
Official and Fan Websites - Welcome!
We can provide you with some spectacular adverts from "back in the day". Perhaps we've one in color, a double bill that just rocks, a historic 'first' appearance, or one that celebrates something extra special that only you know about (i.e. the play date that got you that recording contract or such). Whatever the reason that you'd like to post it, we'd like you to have it. In fact, you're welcome to the 3 that mean the most to you!
Helping us to get them to you is simple enough: just paste our Linking Code onto your website given in the Agreement below (v), then complete and send in the easy-to-fill-out Form.
(NOT an 'Official' or 'Fan' website? but still interested in letting visitiors know about us? Well, we appreciate that! COPY the link given here to the right -->, send us an email notification, and we'll be delighted to mention you to our visitors, as well!)
And just so ya know... while we do sell all sorts of items with adverts on them - i.e. a T with the Newport Festival advert (nearly 2 dozen groups, 15 bucks for all 3 days!!) - we don't sell Artist-branded items when we partner up... we 'refer' instead. And do so with great delight; we know that that fan base is yours to cherish.
Please add into your email any special request (maybe you're looking for a play date we didn't list, or an interview, review or photo? We'll see what we've got). And, too, it would be absolutely terrific - really - if you would share a personal story with us. Especially one that shows a connection with us; that's the kind of thing that gets tied to our Cool Bonus Icon and a Special Announcement that touts your site, as well!
To link to us on Facebook, go to our page and click 'Like' near the top of the page (we loved to be 'Like'D)
Easy-to-fill-out Form follows...
An Agreement
For our part:
-
We will customize the Artist Page that we have built for you. Not only will it include a ‘Bio’ drawn from a personal interview with you, we will also create a ‘Cool Bonus’ for your Page. (The Cool Bonus is known to be ‘unique’… it ‘draws’ for that reason. AND also because it has a nifty animated hippy that actually tells the Visitors to check it out!)
-
We will ensure that the link to you in our Hip Links Icon Box on your Artist Page will remain active as a direct route to your own website and/or Facebook page.
-
We will give you up to 3 of our Archive pieces (items that are about you; 3 that are of your own choosing) for you to post on your own website, followed by the link that leads to the balance of them on our site. (Remember, our site is where links BACK to you for merchandise sales are posted.) (The Link for posting is given below in ‘your’ section.)
-
We will not compete with you on the sale of any representation of your own design; our intent is only to offer for sale replications of the adverts, photos, reviews, interviews or other items that appeared in our pages of the LA FP. We expect that we will both put our respective designs on anything that can be sold that will accommodate them – from mugs to clothes to more. However, we are primarily purveying t-shirts, poster-size (11”x17”)prints, and ‘Reports’ – a compilation of the reprints of our items accompanied by a narrative- downloadable and reproducible in an 8 ½” x 11” format. And there will be site ads, too.
- We will do all we can to drive traffic to our site, and to your Page. If we only attract 10 visitors a day to each of the 1,000 Artists we will, eventually, feature, we would have 10,000 visitors a day / about 300,000 a month. We would expect that most Visitors arriving will stop at 3 or 4 other Artist Pages – like visiting friends, going around the neighborhood. It may be that enough will stop at your Page – and link right to your own website – to make this exciting. (And if you don’t have your own website, we can place your merchandise in our catalog so you can still make money. And if you don’t have merchandise, we can get merchandise for you, too. For more info on this info@losangelesfreepress.com)
For your part:
-
You need to provide us with enough material to build a ‘Bio’ on you; material with personal touches, seldom heard facts or insights – something that really rocks. A conversation between us may help if you feel that writing that on your own is not likely to give the best result. We actually like having interesting conversations with people who made it thru the times in a meritorious, even infamous, fashion (or both). In which case, you’ll need to call us. Our personal line – 760-333-1873. One way or the other, you’ll need to get the info here. And we’ll help find the LA FP connection so that there is, indeed, a Cool Bonus posted onto your Page.
-
You need to send to us the link(s) you consider ‘official’, ones that you are in favor of, those that you think best represent you so that those are the ones that we post.
- You should, but it is NOT a requirement, choose up to 3 of our Archive pieces that are about you, for the interest of your fans. If you do, then a posted link back to us can say that they can view the balance of the pieces we have; if you do not post any of our Archive pieces you can simply say that we have archive pieces for their viewing. In either case, a link is to be posted so that we are, in fact, working with one another. (Remember, the links on our site return Visitors even more jazzed about you, directly to you, so that they can buy merchandise YOU offer.)
The link to our site for you to post on your page is:
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href=" http://lafpmusic.com/"><img src=" https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/188193_147442835316992_3951644_n.jpg " width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">For more Fabulous Adverts from the 1960's.</span></p>
- You can offer on your site any representation of your own design and any products on which they can be displayed , just not the designs or any other items that appeared in the LA FP (adverts, reviews, interviews, compilations, research reports or the like).
- You will do all you can to drive traffic to our site by way of including favorable mentions about how we are working together, how our site contains Artists that come from the same era, and that, as it does for you, putting a link to our site whenever possible – as in articles you may publish on your own blog or as an ‘external’ link on a Wikipedia page, or wherever – as in the cover copy of any re-released or new material or, to extent possible, on the cover of books written of you, and certainly on the social sites you establish or participate in. In general, anywhere and anyplace which you can secure the right to do so… just as we will be promoting our site where your inclusion will help to drive traffic to your own site
LAFPMusic.com hereby accepts and promises to dutifully complete all of its responsibilities as outlined above, as does the Artist who has forwarded this Agreement.
