Promotion and Release
Satisfied was released through Slanted Records on August 26, 2008, and debuted at its peak positions of number 116 on the Billboard 200 and number three on the Billboard Top Christian Albums charts. First week sales nearly doubled those of DecembeRadio. The album cover was the product of a spontaneous suggestion from the band's manager on the day of a photoshoot. Another photo had been slated for the album cover, but the band found a swamp and acted on their manager's idea. "We went down there, took off our shoes, rolled up our jeans a little bit and walked right into the water—and stood there for 45 minutes while we got our picture taken. It's a good thing we did it because when we got the pictures back, those were by far our favorite!" said Bunn.
DecembeRadio promoted Satisfied by making television and radio appearances in Atlanta before their concert at the local Hard Rock Cafe on August 20. Six days later, the band hosted an album release party at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Virginia, which sold out the 938-seat venue. After returning to the studio in September to record the Comfort & Joy Christmas EP, DecembeRadio filmed promotional videos for "Gasoline" and "Look for Me" in October. The band then headlined a month-long U.S. tour in support of Satisfied with Ruth, Sevenglory and speaker Billy Wayne. DecembeRadio returned to the road in February 2009 to open for Newsboys on their Join the Tribe Tour. During the tour, the video for "Look for Me" debuted on the Gospel Music Channel. According to Miker, however, some radio stations refused to play the track because the lyrics were written from the perspective of God.

Famous quotes containing the words promotion and/or release:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
