1. Digipak Digipaks are an ideal way to promote artists they are usually a 6 panel case that holds the CD album and at times they have extras such as a lyric book, DVD and sessions that have been acoustic or from the studio. The digipak came about in the year 2000 and has been popular when artists have wanted to release special/limited edition singles and albums.

2. Magazine Another good way to promote an artist is by advertising through music magazines to alert fans when new albums or singles are out. It is a way of communicating to an audience to make them want to purchase the product, be it a single or an album in physically matter or online.
