MARKETING KIT
Cards you can hand a bar owner
Yes — the card should point here. This site is the pitch: formats, pricing bands, video clips and a booking form all live in one place, so a bartender can scan it and the owner can review it later. Below are four designs to choose from, all print-ready at 3.5" × 2" (or 2" × 3.5" vertical). Hit print and the guides/notes drop out.
Recommendation for the Idaho Springs run
/venues. That page opens with formats, clips and a 4-step booking flow. Multiple QRs on a card cause zero scans.Pick: Version 2 (Label-forward) as the main hand-out, print Version 3 as a band card to leave on the merch/booking wall. Version 1 is your left/right split idea, cleaned up.
Split square — Label left, PrototypeRX right
Your original idea: a hard vertical divider, Aether Temple on the left, the band on the right. Looks sharp, but it splits attention — best when you're specifically pitching PrototypeRX.
Best for: Rock rooms and venues you already know want a band
Label-forward vertical — recommended
Portrait card. Big portal mark, one line of what you do, roster listed as a service menu on the back. Reads like a vendor a venue can hire, not a band asking for a slot.
Best for: Cold walk-ins: Tommyknocker, Westbound & Down, Main Street bars
ACOUSTIC · BAND · DJ
Band card — PrototypeRX neon
Full-bleed neon green, band name only, QR on the back. High impact, leaves no doubt what it is. Leave these on the booking wall or with the sound guy.
Best for: Merch tables, booking walls, other bands, fans
Roster triptych — three neon bands
Three colored blocks across the front, one per act, label mark small in the corner. Instantly communicates range: you can cover a whole week of programming.
Best for: Venues with multiple weekly slots or event calendars

Walk-in playbook — Idaho Springs
- 1. Time it right. Weekday 2–4pm. Ask for whoever books music — not the owner by name, the bartender will route you.
- 2. One sentence. "I'm local, I run three acts — acoustic through DJ — and I bring my own PA. Can I leave a card with the person who books?"
- 3. Card + QR. Point at the QR: "Clips and rates are right there, 30 seconds."
- 4. Follow up in 48h. Use the email templates — same pitch, written down.
Print tip: use 110lb matte cardstock, borderless, 100% scale (no "fit to page"), then trim on the card edges. For a real run, upload the same layout to any card printer at 3.5" × 2" with 0.125" bleed.
