Professional singers make professional choirs in Los Angeles. When it comes to recruiting new singers to choirs, you have to put two things in place to make the process successful. First, you should ensure that potential members know about your choir. Second, your potential members should want to sing in your choir. Now we will have a look at the different ways that you can attract new singers to your choir.
Raise the profile of your choir
Unless your choir is unusual, you are probably looking to attract choir singers from a limited radius around where you rehearse. Here are some ways to make sure potential singers within that area know about your choir.
Choir performance
Whenever your choir performs, new people will hear about you. While most of the people who hear about your choir may not be singers, they might tell their friends who are singers about your choir. Performances raise your profile in your area and attract and grow your choir. This in turn enables you to perform frequently. You should consider prospective choir performances not just in terms of what they cost or earn but also in terms of their impact on your profile.
Word of mouth
Word of mouth is a very powerful tool for reaching out to potential choir members. You should encourage your members to help you attract new choir singers. You should involve your existing singers in the recruitment of new singers to your professional choirs as this gives them a sense of ownership. You can introduce a discount on subs.
Target local marketing
Local magazines, newspapers, and websites usually cry out for copy. You should send them succinct, timely and well-written pieces about what your choir is up to and they will probably publish it. You need to focus on personal stories and community work. Take part in local events and support a charity.
Website and social media
Do not just assume that everyone you are connected to online is in a far area. most people on Facebook get friends suggestions of people living in their area. You should ask your friends to follow you on Twitter, like your Facebook page and invite their friends to do so as well. This way, you will have a wider audience in your area to talk to and convince them to join your choir.
How to attract new singers
Once you have taken the above steps to make your choir known in your area, you need to convert the knowledge of the existence of your choir into a desire to become members.
Be excellent
Being excellent at what you do is the most important way of attracting new choir members. When I say excellent, I do not mean that you have to run the most advanced choir in the world. You should just ensure your choir does whatever it does best.
Communicate with benefits
professional choirs in Los Angeles provide something useful to their choir members. You should let your singers know that they also benefit from performing in your choir.
