DIGI-CARDS DOWNLOAD CARDS THE FAVORITES AT SXSW
Austin, TX. March.17.16
FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS DIGI-CARDS ARE AGAIN THE INDUSTRY FAVORITES
Digi-cards download cards were the first option for multimedia custom download cards almost 10 years ago. During this time, many have tried to enter the market with several options now being available, however only a few have survived. As seen during the SXSW conference, without a doubt, the best option and product is still Digi-cards. When he was asked about this at a presentation, Jerry Harp (International Sales Manager), said, “It is simple, we offer the best product and value for the investment and the ROI for our clients is the best in the industry”. “We are not the cheapest and we do not want to be; we market to professionals and independent artists that care about their image. For example, would you like to sell or promote your product on a paper or laminated card? What does that say about your content or product? Our cards have many advantages over others that are similar in price, but none of the others offer cards with an appearance as sturdy and sleek as credit cards coupled with fully customized sites for PCs and Mobile devices, up to 2.5GB of content space, a Content Delivery Network, free professional design, and all in a simple package with free shipping worldwide. Who else offers that?” he concluded. Many movie producers and independent musicians that attend SXSW were distributing their product through Digi-cards and the ones that didn´t got embarrassed. Digi-cards are considered the “top of the line” download cards in the industry. For more information, you can go to www.digi-cards.com or www.download-cards.com.

CD SALES DROP – DIGITAL DOWNLOADS STEADY, WHAT ABOUT DOWNLOAD CARDS?
CD SALES DROP – DIGITAL DOWNLOADS STEADY, WHAT ABOUT DOWNLOAD CARDS?
Miami, FL. October.20.15
INTERESTING NEWS REPORT ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA (EXCERPT)
According to figures in the United States, the first half of 2015 has seen a drop of 31% in CD sales compared to last year. We are all aware that the CD is now a thing of the past and most likely will slowly disappear in the next couple of years, even with the resurgence of vinyl music sales. Much all physical music distribution is over, or is it? We contacted the largest producer and manufacturer of music download cards to ask about any figures they could provide as no agency seems to follow, and RIAA, Soundscan and other tracking organizations count them as digital downloads, but should they?
Digi-cards download cards seems to be one of the largest if not the largest producers and even though they sell plenty of product in the US, it seems the company base is somewhere in Europe. After many calls, emails and runarounds we finally contacted Gerardo Alton-Ortega, a Mexico-born entrepreneur who is CEO of Vital Digital Global Corporation, the parent company of Digi-cards.
We asked the question: What about music download cards? His answer was straight-forward: they have replaced the CD and DVD sales and are probably the last form of physical multimedia distribution. He said that even though his company from the very beginning was focused on the music market, it has grown into marketing, advertising, merchandising and a long list of industries and applications where music now stands at only 14% of their total yearly business. However, he mentioned that his music download cards sales have been increasing tenfold in the last 2 to 3 years. When asked why aren´t they reported as physical sales, he answered: “because they are counted as digital downloads. The industry was not prepared for a product that combines both methods of distribution, physical and virtual so instead of adjusting, they decided to go the easy route and count them as digital downloads, something they were already set up to handle”, he concluded.
Digital download cards seem to have fallen through the cracks of reporting and it might be a music black hole that might have been an important measure of physical music sales. We have seen a huge increase of artists selling download cards, from very high quality product like Digi-cards made of plastic that resemble a credit card to laminated paper and homemade cards that for a price try to lure the end user to download music, videos and other multimedia files.
Looking at these figures and the comments of a leading manufacturer of this product, we can safely say that physical sales of music albums will be around for many years to come no matter what you call them, physical album sales or digital downloads.

MEXICO AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS PARTNER WILL GET RELIEVE
In an unprecedented act of solidarity and assistance to Vital Digital Global product distributors and clients in Mexico, Gerardo Alton-Ortega CEO of the company said he would freeze the Mexican Peso exchange rate to $15.00 Pesos (MXN) per Dollar (USD) starting immediately and to last until December 31st of 2015. “Many of our customers have contracts with us and need our product, however the instability of the country’s economy has made its currency lose value against the Dollar at a faster rate than all Latin America” he also added “Many people depend on our product and I rather cut profits than allow them to miss the opportunity that many of our products give them in marketing, e-file physical distribution and other industries” he concluded. Gerardo Alton-Ortega was born in Mexico and has maintained crucial interest in that market. Mexico is the world’s fourth largest consumer of Digi-cards download cards and it is expected to become the third before the end of the year.

REPLACING PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS AND PRINTING GENERATES MILLIONS IN SAVINGS

The versatility of the product has been able to replace old methods of marketing and advertising, thus allowing companies in all realms of the business spectrum to reduce costs in fields like printing, advertising & marketing, development, etc. The times of distributing a huge bag of marketing and merchandising products during conventions are over, now most delegates distribute Digi-cards with all the secure information and multimedia.

MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECORDING ARTISTS
MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECORDING ARTISTS
Miami, FL. June.23.15
THIRD-PARTY ONLINE STORES, MUSIC STREAMING SERVICES, OR DIGI-CARDS DOWNLOAD CARDS
For the past decade, the music industry has seen the biggest shift in the way business is conducted. However, regardless of the changes, the end result is always song or album sales. One of the common denominators in the equation has to be digital distribution since it is here to stay. Even though many artists blame it for causing the “pizza slice effect”, it is the only option in a modern world and one must adapt. So how do recording artists make money by selling songs and albums using digital distribution? There are three options (let’s list them in order of appearance). The first option is third-party online stores like: itunes, CD baby, etc. Pros: it is now very easy to upload content to them and have your space in their online store servers for a percentage of the sales. You also get the prestige of having your music in their store. Cons: everyone can be in the store (even dogs barking) so unless someone knows your name or band (other than your family) your chances of selling your music are next to null. You can always promote your download page, but in many cases people will dish out some credit card money for better-known or more popular artists. The second option is using music streaming services like: Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon Prime Music, etc. Pros: it seems to be a nice, steady source of income for recording artists and the future of radio. Cons: unless you have a Top 100 Billboard hit, forget about making any money. Even if your songs get into the playlist, your income will be so watered-down that your bandmates will have to continue delivering pizza to earn a living for years to come. The third option is Digi-cards download cards. Pros: ever heard of impulse sales and purchases? Digi-cards download cards have the only business model that connects a physical product with digital online distribution and they have many favorable factors. We are not asking you to go door-to-door like old vacuum salesmen; most likely if you are a musician or recording artist you move in circuits that gather a lot of people that listen to music at festivals, concerts, club gigs, etc. With Digi-cards download cards you can literally give them a piece of you, just like merchandising, and what better product than your music? Forget baseball caps, t-shirts, and stickers. Hit them with your best product: your own, collectible Digi-cards download card with your song, video, or album on it. Take their cash, put it in your pocket, and go spend it on pizza that other bands will deliver to you because they are still selling music in online stores or through streaming services. Cons: many download cards manufacturers do not take the presentation and quality of their product seriously. You might end up with paper or laminated cards that are hard to sell, or you might end up with half-customized cards or platforms. Make sure you do your research. Remember the rule, “you get what you pay for”, otherwise, you might end up with 500 or 1000 albums in your pocket instead of making $5,000 or $10,000. It is up to you. One thing is for sure: physical, tangible products are still preferred by many in our digital world. Take advantage of it now because others will and you might end up being the one delivering the pizza.
