CDDVD Now! Combines Real World Products With Digital Distribution

As CD sales diminish, Musicians, Motivational, Inspirational Speakers and Other Audio Content Producers struggle with ways to distribute or sell "real world" products at their venues.

To ensure that audio content owners get the most out of their brand, CDDVD Now and Dropcards offer a broad suite of digital resources to help strengthen the audio content holder's niche in the consumer marketplace. With millions of songs, ringtones, movies, magazines and gifts to choose from, Dropcards blends the best parts of traditional marketing with the power and flexibility of online promotions.

"There are a lot of challenges that musicians and other audio content producers face," says CDDVD Now president and founder, Phil Peretz. "Between diminishing CD sales and less disposable income for the fans, artists need to come up with a low cost, digital solution that can be sold at venues. The Dropcard, allows the artist to give away or sell the Dropcard that has a unique pin number and a URL where the fan can redeem the card on our website or the artists website. It's a quick and easy download redemption process for the fan, and the artist can set up their Dropcard account so they can capture the e-mail address of the fan. From a marketing standpoint, the Dropcard creates a connection between the seller and buyer than CDs never had."
CDDVD Now has created its own music Dropcard as a way of promoting this new service and promoting several artists and members of Indie Artists Alliance, the sister company to CDDVD Now.
 
This dropcard includes artists: Billhouse; Lynn JULIAN (aka Cookie Cutter Girl);  Faces of Radio;  Tim Ponzek (Opus Fromus);  Thomas Anderson;  Diesel Finger; Lauren Adams; Yummy and The Freddie Long Band.
