Pre-save Broadcasts 🔊
A pre-save broadcast is the act of "dropping" a song/album/playlist into a fan's DSP library
Any fan that has pre-saved to you as an artist/band through Openstage will receive this "drop".
You can schedule these drops to go out at midnight on release day for example
(OR if it's an existing track you want to boost the streaming numbers on/a playlist you want to share with fans - you can add these and create a pre-save broadcast to drop them at any time you wish, just like you would with a regular email broadcast).
Top tip: It's good practice to have an OUT NOW mailer, a pre-save broadcast, and stream page setup for release day, to ensure your fans get your tracks as soon as possible. It's always good to provide context in a supplementary mailer alongside a pre-save broadcast, particularly if it's NOT a new release.
From the catalog item, follow the flow from the yellow "create pre-save" button and you'll be presented with your pre-save broadcast.
Here you can edit details and the audience. As a default, your audience will be anyone who has pre-saved to you. This is the most common use of the pre-save broadcast. You may wish to send certain tracks or playlists for example, to a group of fans with a specific tag, which you can do here in the "edit audience" section. Click here to learn more about audiences.
"Edit details" will allow you to choose when your broadcast goes out to your fans.
A broadcast will not go out until you have hit the green "activate" button, regardless of it's scheduled broadcast time & date.
Before release, you can set up & populate a stream page for the track/album ready to use when it drops.
