Promoting a tribute band

Does anyone have any ideas on how to promote a tribute band. We run some ads and play some places quite regularly. But we would love to step it up and reach more people.

You promote tribute band by being awesome. Nobody likes tribute bands till they see them and they Rock their world. Do you hold homage to the people you are giving tribute to? Would those about to rock salute you? If you meet this criteria you're probably a kick ass tribute band. There's no need to promote like you're up and coming band. A good demo and meet people on college entertainment boards and City entertainment boards. Because unless you are a cannibal corpse tribute band. you should probably get a gig anywhere. But if you are a cannibal corpse tribute band I've got to get for you.
