2. Nicki Minaj Nicki Minaj has promoted her album on her website and her tour as before you can even enter her site you see her music tour and packages available for her album. This will help her to make sure her fans buy her album and come to her shows which will make her successful. The colour theme of pink resembles with her album name ‘Pink Friday’. Nicki Minajs official website also includes dates of her tours and a video of her interviews that she has done about her music videos. This will give her fans extra information that they want to find out to make them feel closer to Nicki Minaj. She has called her website ‘Pink Friday’ further reinforcing how she wants to promote her album
3. To further promote her tour Nicki Minaj shows pictures of her tour which will intrerest her fans who will be willing to go and see her. The pictures of her at her tour will encourage her fans to book tickets for her next or up coming shows. This again promotes her music and her tour will be fully booked to ensure she is getting all the money she needs to run her tours.
4. Nicki Minaj also talks to MTV about her tour which again makes me realise that the most important aspect of a good promotional website is to ensure the fans are aware of all the tour dates and performances in order to make the artist successful. The whole of her first page of her website has been used to promote her tour which should be really successful if her fans are influenced by her website. The fact that Nicki Minaj is directly talking to her fan will again make them feel closer to her as a artist as she is speaking directly to her audience about her tours which she needs them to come to. Therefore Nicki Minaj is relying on her fans to not let her down and turn up to her shows
5. The script The script are a band which are quite similar to The Life Thru Iris as they are both alternative rock bands which is why I have chosen to analyse their website in order to gather ideas from their website. They have included a slide show of pictures from photoshoots, tours, music videos in order to promote their image. They have lots of pictures of them on stage which could be to influence their fans to buy their tour tickets.
6. The script have included news about themselves which will again help their audiences to feel closer and up to date with their lives. They have also included links to twitter, facebook and other websites in order to ensure their target audience is directly targeted by their fans promoting their music. They have their tour dates and a picture of their album in order to familiarise the front cover to their fans to ensure they buy it. There is also a short diary entry and as a diary is considered quite private it will give their fans a deeper insight into their lives. A list of their music videos is also shown on the site to promote their album and music. The colour theme they have used is soft dark colours as they are a indie rock band and are not promoting their image but instead their music and talent.
7. A unique aspect of The Scripts website was their gig traker which points out and highlights all the places they will be perfoming on their tours in order to help their audiences to see if they are performing in a place or city near by so that they can go and buy the tickets. This is visually stimulating as it encourages the artist to see where they live on the globe and if they see that The Script are performing near by it will encourage them to go and see them as it will make them feel closer to the band.
