FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A sustainable fanbase comes from diversified strategies that go beyond organic social media reach. SwipeUp Marketing combines several approaches:
- Building email lists through giveaways and exclusive content
- Paid campaigns on Spotify Ads and TikTok Spark Ads for precise targeting
- Community building on Discord or Telegram
- Collaborations with artists and playlist curators
- Local presence through live shows
The key is owned channels like email and WhatsApp broadcasts that give you direct access to your audience, while social media serves as the discovery platform.
Whether and when working with SwipeUp Marketing makes sense depends on many factors. Artists who already have a solid fanbase may still benefit – for example with data structure, tracking and attribution, monetization via an online shop or building an email marketing system. The following conditions should be met:
- Ambition & reliability: Your commitment and reliability are decisive for the success of our joint projects.
- Willingness to invest: You should be ready to invest four-figure amounts in the marketing of a release.
- Commitment to social media content: You regularly produce social media content before and after the release and deliver creatives (after joint planning).
- At least 3 released songs: You have already released at least 3 songs on DSPs like Spotify, Apple Music & co.
If these points are met, we look forward to a successful, results-driven collaboration that takes your music career to the next level!
As always: it depends. The right budget depends on your platforms, target audience and genre – and on how much you are willing to pay for a new listener.
When working with SwipeUp Marketing, we recommend a minimum of €1,500 – €2,000 ad budget per single release. That allows proper campaign work and enough A/B testing to get the best results.
