Join the Oliver Tompsett Street Team and get interactive and get involved! Every fan's contribution to the Street Team effort (no matter how big or small) is much valued and appreciated. Below are some tips and suggestions to help you get pullin for Oliver!! ....

1) Keep updated by subscribing to our blog on myspace & keep checking Oliver's myspace & facebook.

2) Word of mouth. One of the easiest and most effective forms of street teaming. Simply talk of Oliver's music to family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues using the power of speech and, hey presto!, a ripple effect begins the world over.

3) Blog and banner Oliver, all over the web! Share Oliver's music with others by posting banners, bulletins and blogs regularly on sites such as Myspace, Facebook, Gather, Livejournal, Blogspot and Bebo. A selection of banners and promo images are available here. Aswell as posting them on the above social networking sites make one a groovy promotional addtion to your own websites and messageboard profile 'signatures'!

4) To encourage people unfamiliar with Oliver's music to take a listen.

5) Search online for related artist / music promotion / 'new' artist websites, and forums, and nicely post a message to introduce Oliver's music. Remember to use finesse and tact. Don't harass people and be respectful of any place that you post. Above all don't spam sites with multiple posts! Most of the time it is counter-productive and can sometimes, in severe cases, result in your losing your ISP (internet service provider) account. Spam has many different meanings, but mostly it is considered as sending large amounts of unsolicited e-mail meant to promote a product or service.

6) Ensure Oliver is in your TOP Myspace friends and add his music to your profile.

7) Create a Link to www.olivertompsett.co.uk in your email signature.

8) Support Oliver on Facebook, bebo , iLike.com etc.

9) Wear Oliver! Get creative and use sites such as cafepress.com to design your own "Oliver Tompsett" OR "Oliver Tompsett Street Team" promo Tee! (an OFFICIAL Oliver Tompsett Tee will be available to purchase online in the near future).

10) Distribute flyers (for Oliver & the team) at your school, club, or work place, and at Oliver's gigs. It is generally a good idea to ask the venue first for permission to pass materials out if you are planning on doing it inside. Alternatively, standing outside near the exit handing items out might present the best opportunity for getting to the most people as they leave the show.

11) Hang up flyers or posters. Good places to try are pubs, local colleges, internet cafes or wherever you can find places that might catch other music lover's attention. Go crazy with them! Put them on post office bulletin boards, in bookstore windows, all over town. Visit the little stores as well as the big chains. Please remember there may be some areas where it is against the law to affix stickers/posters to public property such as telephone poles. You may wish to check first to make sure you are allowed to put anything in these areas.

12) Contact local publications. Call or e-mail local newspapers, magazines, college papers, etc. and ask if they will publish an article or an advertisement supporting Oliver's music and career.

13) The album will make a perfect gift, so why not pick up a few copies?!
