This year is going to be a roxing year. We think Roxette deserves to be on the hitlists, be played on radios, be everywhere again. For this purpose, we think the best way is to team up and go for this target together.

We will list here various activities organised by local groups of fans. Let us know if you have planned anything in your country and we will publish it here. The activities so far are based on online promotion.

Based on previous year’s experience, it is best to have an organised team of fans per country, with a responsible (or various) per country. Of course, we can help eachother crossborder. For example, if there is a website were one can vote for the new single we can of course all go and vote there.

Just a small note on what we mean with online promotion: this is one of the most important tools for promoting a band nowadays. As the name says, promotion takes place online, with the goal to build awareness for Roxette in the network.

Here are some ideas and links:

- Social networking: it is essential to have presence on such networks. We are talking about Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo!, Orkut, Twitter.
Create your account in your language and spread the word about Roxette’s new single and album. Here are a list of Fanpages and official pages:

- (Music) Forums: are you user in a general music forum? or any forum of another band or topic which has “Small talk” or “Others” subforums? Then post something about your favourite band there!

- Chat rooms: same as above.

- Radio requests: set up a plan to request Roxette’s new single on your local radio. Many radios nowadays have an account on Twitter or Facebook where you can post your wishes. Email works the same way.

German fans organised themselves on Friday to join various pages of German radio stations and request for the song. There is another action planned on Sunday 16th January. You will find more information here.

Spanish fans have also started to contact Spanish radios to request the song. Join their mailing list for additional information! A joint action with German fans is planned for Sunday as well.

- Vote for Roxette: it is also quite tipical to have polls or votings on media – specially radio – websites, to have the listeners/users vote for their favourite band/song. Keep your eyes open and let us know whenever you find such a poll so we can all go and vote for Roxette.

- Link to the video on your Facebook /Social media account or embedd it on your blog/website. Here are links to official video in various countries – don’t forget to vote for the videos and give it 5 stars ;)

The most important thing about online promotion is to be creative and have fun with it and spread positive word about Roxette to all your contacts and friends. So if you have more ideas, don’t hesitate to contact us!
