Music videos provide promotional, financial, and distribution benefits for artists and record labels. Promotionally, posting videos on websites like YouTube, Facebook, and the band's own page helps advertise new music releases and remind fans to listen. This wider promotion can grow the artist's audience and increase music sales. Financially, more fans means more money from album sales, merchandise, and concert tickets. Distribution-wise, videos are accessible on the artist's website and music streaming/video sites, providing multiple outlets for fans to enjoy and purchase the music. Record label partnerships and branded merchandise also help jointly promote the artist and label for mutual synergy and benefit.

Producers strategies To make sure the band is successful, having a
strategy or plan will really help. To begin the
career the band would have possibly used their
own money to buy equipment, hire places to
rehears and pay to perform in places. This will
make it all worth it, as it has been proven for
Green Day. After being signed, the key is to
shoot a music video so that this can been
shown online and on Music channels. After this
has been seen they can create an audience
demographic and they can create their music
around them. Touring will be very important to
advertise bands. From there they can use
Facebook, Twitter and Blogs to brandish the
bands activities. The video to Jesus Of Suburbia
adds depth in the band and makes people want
to know more about this character in the song.
People will listen to it more to understand the
story. Also, they will be questioning if this
“S.T.Jimmy” is Billy-Joe (lead singer) himself.
