Probably the best way to promote your band is by creating a video. Sure, demo CDs will also work, but seeing the band in action visually is more impressive, and will surely bring more attention to your band.

Be sure to post information about your band in the description and also include links to your albums, if you already have it on iTunes or any other similar stores.
Video clips will also share the passion you have for your music with the audience. The best idea when you create a video clip is to hire a well known video production company that can also help you with the distribution process, as most of them have already lots of connections in this field of work.
If your videos are popular enough on YouTube or any other similar platforms, you will surely be awarded more gigs than you are right now. This is the most important thing you can do for promoting your band.
