A couple of questions

Unread post by Randomname123 »

So I'm still trying to figure out some things about fanmail, all help is appreciated :D


#1: What is the current fanmail address for Demi Lovato? I seen a spot, I just want to make sure (because sometimes people move around a lot, and I'd really rather not get a RTS)

#2: Where do people get these pictures to get autographed?

#3: Does the person you send it to actually read what you send them? I believe there is some sort of term as Pre-print that I've seen used on here?

#4: How long does it usually take to get something back? (In this case, if Demi Lovato's address is the one in California, from the East coast to California)

I'll add any more questions to this if I think of anymore, but I think this is pretty much all I have for now ;-)

#1) No idea I am afraid, you could check the database here for an address and see if people have had a recent success. Celebs moving after you've sent your letter is always a risk in this hobby, and I don't think you can avoid it that much. Sometimes google searches can find a current agency/management listing the celeb as a client, or a venue they will be appearing at.

#2) Some people print them off at home after finding a good quality picture via google, I use snapfish which is an online company after I have gotten the images from google. Some people getting their photos from a physical store have had their orders refused because of copyright issues.

#3) It entirely depends on the celeb and how they deal with their mail, this is mostly unknown. Some for example will sign pictures sent in but all they do is look at the name on the return envelope. Pre-Print is a photo sent by the celeb/celeb's staff which is a printed signature ie not authentic. I would recommend researching the celebs you want to see if they are believed to sign authentically or not. As to reading letters or not, this is mostly unknown.

#4) Waiting times vary from a couple of weeks to a couple of years. Distance doesn't really add much time it's when the celeb can sign and how many other hundreds/thousands of requests they have. Again do the research on the particular celeb to see how long people have waited in the past and how long the more recent waits are.

Remember some celebrities choose not to engage with their fans in any way TTM (through the mail), not even a pre-print sent. Research is key here.

Where do I check for recent successes at? I contacted an e-mail asking if it the address I had found was the right one for fanmail (Got the e-mail address off of hollywoodrecords site). You said to do a lot of research on things, yet I have no idea where to look for the information at? Demi lovato is a client of Hollywoodrecords so ya.

There is the database and forums here, also google. Plenty of places to look for information. If I don't find what I need here on Fanmail.biz I go off and do some googling.
If you know the agent information is correct then send to that address and see if anything comes back. As I said before there is no guarantee you will get something back, or that the celeb doesn't move after you send, but there are very few guarantees in this hobby {up}
