The Hidden Costs of Traditional Marketing
When you add up all the tools needed for traditional music marketing, the costs quickly spiral:
- Email platform: $50-150/month
- Social media scheduler: $30-100/month
- Analytics tools: $50-200/month
- Link-in-bio tool: $10-30/month
- Pre-save platform: $30-100/month
- Fan data management: $50-150/month
Total: $220-730/month for a fragmented system that still requires hours of manual work and doesn't talk to each other.
The Choice is Clear
Traditional marketing tools were built for traditional businesses. Fanaura was built specifically for musicians, by people who understand the unique challenges of growing a fanbase in the streaming era.
With AI handling the heavy lifting, you can focus on what you do best: making music. The question isn't whether to switch to AI-powered marketing—it's how quickly you can get started before your competition does.
