Whether it's a cow hat or a train whistle, small gimmicks can really help engagement with your fans and provide entertainment. Nobody is too good for a well planned gimmick.

Opportunities and Sponsors Buyer beware. Always read contracts that are put in front of you, and don't be afraid to say "No," or ask for exactly what you want.
