While a label can help with distribution and sales, it is not their primary focus to manage the artist's career development and promotional efforts.

This can help to maximize the impact of the release, increase fan engagement and support, and ultimately lead to greater success for the band or artist.In short, while label services can be a valuable part of a band or artist's career development, they should not be relied upon as the sole source of support.
