Why To Survey Your Fans

Show them that you care
Give them a personal experience
Help you make business decisions for the future
Give you ideas you haven’t thought of and promote “outside of the box” thinking

Get Fans To Tell You About Themselves

Their age
Their gender
Their location
What other artists they like
This can all be used to help you know how to find more fans like the fans you already have. This can be particularly useful data for running Facebook Ads.

Get Fans To Tell You What They Want

What kind of music to put on your next CD
What covers you should learn
What merch they want to buy from you
Where you should perform

Where & How To Survey Your Fans

Use Survey Monkey, Type Form or Google Docs. There are many free options
Just ask a question by email or social media and ask for a responce
Send a survey by email
Use social media to ask questions
Survey at shows and use a contest as incentive

You will get so much valuable data from a survey of your fans. I recommend you do this at least once or twice per year.
