You wanna be endorsed?

Have you ever wanted to be endorsed by a company that gives a shit about you?
Well buddy, you found it, in theory (Inside - Bo Burnham).

The Artist Endorsement Project by Convicted Printing is a kick ass sponsorship program that gives bands the shit they need too succeed. No matter where you are in your journey, we have something for you.

What YOU get out of it.

We have the details spelled out below, but the basic outline of the project is that we offer you clout, discounts, advice, promotion and other stuff that we think will help your band succeed, or, well, at least sell some sick ass merch!

What WE get out of it.

Business and visibility. Duh.

We sponsor you, you print with us.
We print for you, people ask questions.
People ask questions, you might send them to us.
If they come to us, we endorse them too. 
Rinse, repeat.

Tiers:

Here's the thing. We care about you. But at some point you have to care about yourself. So, we created a Tier structure that lays down some rules for what it means to care about yourself and the people who endorse you.  In light of that, we somewhat arbitrarily assign bands to the tier that we think they fit into.

Do we hate you because we assigned you to a lower tier? No.
Do we think you could do better? Yes.
Do we think that we are the arbiters of what is better and what is worse? No.
Do we believe that our collective 52 years of music industry experience gives us some insight? Yes.
Do we think that our insight is always right? No.
Do you want to work with a Merch company that will be honest with you but is humble enough to understand that sometimes they're wrong? That's up to you.

Bullshit out of the way, below is a relatively arbitrary set of standards that we've setup. Read them and weep. Or... try harder. Or not. We care, but the rest is up to you.

Tier 1 (Bronze): The Longest Yard

"Caretaker: In six months he's going to look like Beyonce."​

You ain't done shit, but you have potential.

This tier is open to any band that signs up. It is a space for artists who know they're beautiful, they just haven't found the right dress yet. ​If you feel that your band fits this category, we recommend you guys take our ​“Band Boot Camp” course!

Tier 2 (Silver): Prison Break

“I’m not asking you to love me. I already screwed up that chance a long time ago. I’m asking you to love yourself.” – Lincoln Burrows

Strong start, but got a little weird.

Just like shows, some bands have a great start. Keeping that traction is the challenge. This tier is for the bands that already have their feet under them, but wanna start running, or well, at least jogging. If you're feeling like Forest Gump right before he busts out of his braces, we recommend our Band Boot Camp for your outfit, as well. 

Tell me more about this band boot camp!

Tier 3 (Gold): Con-Air:

"Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash"

Action packed. Considered a classic. 

Your outfit is ready to fly, you just need some sick merch to go with your heroics! We got you covered..

Tier 4 (Platinum): Shawshank Redemption:​

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged." -Red; Morgan Freeman

You're already digging your way to freedom, you're just waiting for the time to be right.

Honestly, for this tier, we just wanna be along for the treasure hunt.

Tier 5 (Diamond): The Green Mile

Melinda Moores: "Why do you have so many scars? Who hurt you so badly?"
John Coffey: "Don't hardly remember, ma'am."

You've fought so long and hard, you don't even remember how it all started.

You've transcended the prison break and are just doin your thing till it's your time to walk the green mile.
