fan sites as part of the promotion

WOW!

Awesome job Snatcher and RMJ. What is the original source for this document (where did nidalizee get it from)?

IMPORTANT:
Brad, in several places in mentions cooperation with fan sites as part of the promotion. What can we (Alizée America) do to be part of this promotion? This might take some action on our part, but from the tone it seems like they might be willing to cooperate with us (particularly if we are, as I suspect is true, the largest American fansite). I think it's worth looking into.

alizee america should get some of the million euros to do US promotion.

snatcher already has experience putting together lili CD's, albiet it was in a dream.

anyways i am really glad about their investment in lili. things are looking much better since the almost non-existent MJ promotion.

I don't want to seem negative, but I would suspect they are talking about sites like Nidalizee, AA, AFC, Alizee Mexico, etc.

I would bet that they are specifically talking about Alizee Mexico, since she is so HUGE down there, and it is probably a market that they don't have any real connections with.

While it would be awesome, I wouldn't get too excited just yet. And I am not sure what we could really 'do' to help increase our chances?

I think if we drafted a professional letter to RCA/Sony BMG that shared some figures about our site (average traffic, membership, etc.) and our intention to participate in promoting Alizée (particularly in north America, since that is the niche market we can lay the most direct claim) in accordance to their stated publicity plan (assuing us seeing it isn't supposed to be a secret), then having to translated to French, that we might have a decent chance of maybe getting a reponse. That's how I'd go about it.

Hey, we have a good chance of being eligable to promote Lili's album by RCA, because we almost respresent Alizee's fanbase in America compeltely and in total, and we are the most popular alizee fan site in america, and on the top of the list for the fan sites overall. Think about it. You put alizee in a google search, this site is one of the first results and says "Alizee America". I think we're the 4th result. So ...yeh, we're pretty popular.

I say we should really make ourselves known. We have people from all over the world on this site. Think about it, so many countries teach their students English, making this one of only a few options for non-French speakers. Yes some individuals chose to go to the other sites like AA and AFC but our site has a different feel to the others and attracts some people more than the other sites. So really while this is a North American fan site plenty of people from all over the world join our site. We represent so many fans. I honestly think we should do our part and inform RCA of our roll in the North America Alizée front. Do it for Lili I say!

And Alizee-Forum, by far the only other sigificant site next to this one for forums anyway (maybe more significant than this one) says Powered By Alizée America. So, admins what does that mean? It's running on the same servers as this site and/or is run by the same admins? A-America and A-Forum are together THE English forums, and other languages as well.

Brad, I didn't know that you were hosting AF as well, is this a recent happening?

French Fan · #9 11-13-2007, 06:43 PM

I have to say that AA is one of the best forum and site about Alizée outside Europe and France...
It would be great if AA participate to the promotion of the Alizée's new album Psychédélices!
But does RCA consider that there are plenty of american people fans of Alizée

Solaris · #10 11-13-2007, 06:49 PM

Also this is the very first Alizée forum site when Alizée is Googled. That has to count for something. Frankly im surprised RCA has yet to contact this site...I mean look at the rabid fan base we have, look at all the votes Lili gets for Radio Atlantis that originate from this part of the world, look at how we kept the Lili spark going and have infected so many people with lili madness (Me included). It was this site that I watched the first interview on her,Fun TV no less. I love what this site is and what it represents, and hopefully RCA will see this site as a valuable resource to fuel the Lili train.

On another note, Is there I way to make it to where this site doesn't think that Alizée is misspelled...? Every time I type it that damn red squiggly appears...
