Street Teams are groups of fans that help expose their favorite bands to friends other music listeners in their hometown and on the web. Members use promotional materials like Samplers, Stickers, Video, Flyers and Posters to give away to people. Additionally, the team spreads the word throughout the online world via bulletin board postings, encouraging the adding of official web banners to related websites, e-mails, and radio station requests.
