Steal This Sticker
Put your band stickers on bulletin boards, windows and anywhere else you dare. people can simply peel them off and use them again anywhere they want. They won’t harm walls or windows.
Artist Co-Promotion
Find a nice performer or two and have a monthly promotion that includes a limited run of only a specified amount of stickers featuring a certain artist. When they are gone, that’s it, they are no longer available. Do this each month and you can  promote  collecting band memorabilia and establish some buzz.
Bar Graffiti
Put your band stickers all over the bar or club you’re playing in and let the audiences know that they can peel them off and keep them.
Photos of audiences with band Members
At each show have one of the roadies take pictures of your audiences with their favorite band members. Collect their addresses and then send them some FotoSticks a few weeks later to remind them of the night. You may be sure that they will show their friends and family. Since they are repositionable, they can put them on their notebooks or laptops to show around and then put them on their wall once they are done bragging.
