Street Team FAQs
What are street teams and e-teams?
Street teams spread the word about John & Edward. This might be by handing out flyers, putting up posters or getting the twins played on the radio where they live. The goal is to get new fans, get them to buy the CDs, & get them to come to Jedward gigs! There will be specific tasks, competitions and challenges to help you promote Jedward.
The idea of an e-team is pretty much the same as a street team except e-teamers spread the word online rather than on the streets. This means that fans can now do most of the work from their computers, setting up websites, posting links to Jedward’s website, promoting the band on message boards etc. If you're shy about going out meeting people face to face, or have no-one locally to go with, e-teams are a good way for you to start getting involved!
What do I get?
Other than participating in the excitement of promoting John and Edward and making some new friends we do not expect you to help for free, so there will be special goodies for street teamers.
You will get some freebie promo materials to keep for yourselves as well as hand out and be given the opportunity to enter exclusive contests.

b. Talk about the band on related artists websites.
c. If you have a website, please include a link to the official band website.
d. Search out websites that might be interested in information on the band(magazines, webzines etc) and report back to Street Team.
Do I have to be a certain age to join?
No. We can’t stop you doing stuff for the band if you want to.
But if you are a minor in your country please please make sure you tell your guardians what you are up to, especially if you go out anywhere doing some street team stuff. Follow the usual sensible rules and always tell them where you’re going and when you’ll be back, carry a mobile phone when you can and stay safe! Never meet up with someone from the internet who says they’re a fellow street teamer until you’re sure they who they say they are. Always take someone else with you the first time you meet them.
Where do I get promo materials?
The official forum, here and the street team twitter and facebook will have downloadable flyers, handbills, etc. If other materials such as badges, stickers, posters etc become available, they will be distributed to the street team coordinators, who will distribute to local team members.
Can I make my own promotional material?
Of course! We always need people to design banners and flyers etc. But please check them with the co-ordinators first to get them approved. UMireland have kindly given us permission to use some logos and photos already.
We also need people to hep us make loads of stuff!
If you feel you could lead a team in your contry or area, can motivate others and love organising things to promote the boys, let us know!
STREET TEAM MEMBER CONDUCT
Always act politely and professionally. You are representing the boys when you are out there flyering, or posting on the web, or emailing. Be polite, don’t annoy or spam people, and if someone tells you not to put flyers up, thank them very much for their time and don’t do it. We’re here to make friends for the twins, not enemies.
Don’t break the law!Check what you can and cannot do in your country. Find out where you can post flyers legally. If you’re too young to enter an establishment, don’t try and sneak in!
No fighting with other street teamers. We won’t tolerate any bad behaviour or in-fighting in the street teams. We have a no tolerance policy! The image of the boys is very important. So if you are doing this for your own ego, forget it now. We want teams of people who genuinely want to help the twins.
Check out ideas you have before going off and doing them. Got a brilliant idea? Someone else may already be working on that idea, like the press agent or record company for your country. We don’t want to waste time duplicating things, or tread on any toes.
It doesn't matter how much or how little you can do to help, every bit counts!
Welcome on board and remember… Enthusiasm is contagious!!!
