Starting in May 2006, we will begin the
first leg of “Heal The Land Tour 2006-‘07”. Our
goal is to have seventy plus (70+) concert events from, coast to coast, in
major cities and rural populated areas.
This number does not include the promotional appearances, media
marketing and PR opportunities at television and radio stations. These events will mostly sponsored
by local organizations, both charitable and For Profit. Event locations and audience demographics may
vary. Target locations consist of, but
are not limited to, HBCU’s, State Colleges, Private
Universities, Community Centers, Retreats, Club & Coffeehouses, open air
concert venues, Event/Conference Centers, Schools, rallies/festivals and
Churches in the East, Southeastern, Southern US, Midwest and West Coast. Other
event opportunities we will take advantage of are amusement parks as well as
regional & youth outreaches.
One of the
measures of an events’ success is represented by the number of attendees.
In consideration of the overwhelming support that we have for this tour at this
point, we are modestly expecting an estimated 25,000 - 30,000 concert goer in
colleges and communities across the country in attendance of the events
comprising the “Heal The Land Tour 2006-‘07”. We expect a gamut of
attendees including Hip-Hop Music enthusiasts, Clergy and their youth
congregations and College Students. As well as supporters from groups
like FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), Campus Crusades for Christ,
Baptist Student Ministry, Big Brother/Big Sister of America, Fraternal
Organizations and many more will join us in concert halls, stadiums, arenas and
churches, on college campuses & in communities across the US.
The
aspect that makes this tour so amazingly unique is that it is the first of its
kind. On this tour we will be filming an “ALL ACCESS” Documentary style for
Podcasting and a Tour DVD. In 'Reality Show' fashion, portions of the
tour will be broadcasted internationally via Podcast.
We will have two digital cameras that will follow the tour to capture all the
backstage antics, artist profiles & interviews, event goers’ responses to
the show and ‘LIVE’ concert performance footage. This will culminate into the ‘Heal
The Land Tour 2006 DVD” to be released following the
tour. It will be produced by TRÜ PRAISE Productions & distributed by TRÜ
PRAISE Retail & Digital Distribution to retailers worldwide.
This
tour will receive radio marketing, retailer support, national and targeted
internet marketing and national ticketing (as needed). As a result of our
marketing, we are expected to draw out hundreds of event goers, GOOD brand
exposure for Company Sponsors and their Associate Partners (include products,
service, sub companies and affiliates) and touring artist. Overall, our
efforts will impact MANY THOUSANDS across the country and many more worldwide.
We'll build
on the inevitable success of the early tour events. We plan to maximize
our number of event stops & appearances. While at the same time
rotating in new artists known for their audience appeal and their advocacy for our
above stated Tour Purpose.
