PIN codes and product

OK - what's up with these download PIN codes and product? We're ready to find out with you. We have the capability to assign specific digital audio to a unique pin code. Right now we're working with a number of music clients who are using this to create an extra impact and an immediate purchase at live events.

What other digital audio content might also benefit from this relatively new delivery method?

Let's talk about it. I'm thinking internet marketing might have a little fun with this as its immediate, trackable, and not everybody is doing it at the moment.

The Art of the Quote

2009-01-04T12:04:00.000-08:00

I find it fascinating that 7 out of 10 inquires about cd duplication or cd manufacturing sincerely ask "I want CDs and inserts - how much?"

Its reasonable to ask how much something costs, but to quote Napoleon Hill (Think & Grow Rich) be clear on what you want.

Things to include in your requests to any duplicator -

How many masters - is this a single disc or a multi-disc project?
How many finished pieces do you want? 1? 50? 100? 1000?
How do you see them being packaged? jewelcase? bulk? cardboard unit?
Will you need printed paper pieces?
Will you be providing images & text or will you be providing final composite artwork files?

Even if you've never done a project before, you do have an idea of what you may need. If through the course of quoting a project your needs change, the quote will change, you don't just have one chance to get it right.

Ask your Questions

One of the fun parts of life for me is the realization that I'm always learning. I know I'm not alone in it. So here's to increasing the fun and energy in our lives in the New Year.

To kick things off - we're starting a blog.

Yes, we have a website - www.cdmaker.com where we have templates and details and terms if you're at the stage of actually needing replication or duplication - we do both - then that's a place to start the process.

The purpose of our blog is start a more immediate dialog - you have questions, there's a lot of information out there - how will you sift through it?

Right now, we're available to you for you to ASK - that's it - just ASK.

I've posted this on the website already but in case this is your first look at EMA or duplication in general, this is where we'll be answering your questions. We'll also have teleseminars on the topics that come up most frequently in the questions and then we'll get experts in areas outside of our immediate knowledge and get them in on the discussion with you to get the real scoop on things.

Over to the sidebar click on the ask a question - you don't have to provide your name and email if you do not wish to have a personal response. Check back here often to see if your question has been featured.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
