Having a regimented release schedule for your single or album is an absolute necessity. A timeline for your release ensures that every job that needs doing is done at the correct time and allows you to feel confident that everything will come together for the release date. Understanding when it’s the right time to start your design, commence manufacturing, book your launch party and start your mail out to press and radio is vital. It’s also always useful to have some sort of business plan, budget and/or cashflow in place before you set out on the road to release. Hopefully this will give you a clear idea of what your costs will be so that you can avoid having a financial spanner thrown in the works a few weeks prior to release.
