Please take a few moments to read the following information, if are you serious about the Street Team please read all of the below information.  This explains in detail what the Street Team means, and how it will be run, as well as you responsibilities if you choose to agree to help us out. 

Currently, the Senses Fail Street Team contacts will be active in the U.S. although we will at times need contacts elsewhere when the band is touring.  If you live somewhere other than the U.S., Street Team activities for now are limited.   

What is the Senses Fail Street Team responsible for?
Making sure that promotional material, like posters advertising new releases and/or tours, is supplied to/displayed in various sorts of shops within your area, like independent record stores, coffee shops, skate shops, venues, etc.  We trust that you will know where the best "hangouts" are in your area.  You will need to be savvy with where you do your "work".  For example, if you live in a smaller city, hit nearby larger city and don't neglect the vicinity of the venue (when the posters are advertising a live show).  There will also be certain people on the Street Team that don't necessarily hit the street, for those people emailing shows, e-cards, news, flash banners, etc will be what you focus on, getting the word out over the internet is a very important tool.             

Making sure other promotional materials such as stickers, fliers, etc are placed or passed out at appropriate giveaway places like record stores, coffee shops, skate shops, shows, etc.           

Making sure that the material we send you display accurate info re: dates and venues.  Most of the time, a sample poster will be provided in the package you receive, but before you write on the posters, or anything else please check the Senses Fail website (www.sensesfail.com) because tour dates have a tendency to change.  If for some reason a tour date falls through in your area, please write something to the affect of "out now" on the posters and distribute.           

Keeping in touch with us periodically to inform us of your activities and also informing us of changes in your contact information; it would be a real bummer to get packages returned due to change of address.           

Checking your email!!! This is the way we contact you to help us out so it is important that you check emails. 

How often are you expected to help us out?
We are not always going to be able to send out promotional material for every single tour, event, release, etc.  When we are going to mail out packages, we email everyone and will ask a certain number of you to help.  We will utilize those that respond to our email the quickest.  It's not a contest and we are not keeping track of who's consistently the fastest or anything like that.  We simply want to give everyone a chance to help us out.  You will be informed that you've been selected, or if we already have enough help.  However those who aren't needed for hands on work will receive updates on mailing list addresses to send upcoming tour dates, events, release dates and general news about the band.  So everyone will help us out even if it seems like a small job a little goes a long way.  Everyone is responsible for emailing, posting on the web (message boards etc.), calling local radio stations, etc.  However we will contact you with information to post, so that the information is correct.

We ask that you please help for your geographic area and that you be realistic as to what you truly think you can do to help us out with promotional material.  If you have hectic schedules, don't offer your help for a certain mailing because we need you to be flexible and get materials up and out there in a timely manner.  Keep in mind that you are rarely going to be the sole worker in your area, so if you see another street teamer's work, be creative and go somewhere else to do your work. 

How do you prove you've distributed the material?

Our street team will be based in Sound Scan regions which is a way to track sales of CDs, we will also determine whether or not regions are doing there work by ticket sales at specific venues in your area.  We will require "evidence" of your work, i.e. pictures of the posters you have hung, pictures of you handing out flyers, etc.  The more "evidence" you send to us, the more points you will receive, and in time points help you to receive free stuff from the band in appreciation of your help.
