Don't bother with the Internet unless you have connections, and can get reviewed on major blogs. Even then, it's better just to build a small local following, and see if you can build from that.

This is speaking from someone who spent the 30 bucks to get an album setup with CD baby, and basically I'm sitting on it because I haven't a clue how to advertise it in a way that will convince people to want to fork over the money(...and I'm charging a meager $6.66)
Thanks.
I didnt know Kunaki, this looks really nice! Printing sometimes costs a lot, so this would be helpful.

As for open house, well, maybe i cant use this strategy for my band (cos my music is purely gross, i don know how to explain it...), but for most of the band, it would be the best way. (actually, this is the first time that i heard the word "open house". it's some common school event, right?)
