IF MUSIC ALBUMS ARE HISTORY, DIGI-CARDS ARE HERE TO SAVE THE SINGLE

MANY ARTISTS ARE LAUNCHING SINGLES, BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS MORE

As music sales in general decreased, albums have become economically unviable. Production, manufacturing, and distribution costs make an album a hard sale where normally only one or two songs will become the favorites of the listeners. With the unfortunate business model that Apple introduced with iTunes in the late 90s–the “pizza slice” single sales– only the top singles of an album would be sold and downloaded. Fast forward to 2016; there is nothing we can do about it now so the only option is to adapt. Digi-cards download cards have been a great tool for recording artists to sell whole albums physically or “hand to hand”, and maybe the only successful company in the industry to do so since, who would really want to buy paper or laminated cards in exchange for cash? Only Digi-cards are full PVC plastic, therefore they are the favorites of major recording artists as well as independent artists. Getting back to “Single” sales, what if artists could sell a single song for around five dollars? With Digi-cards download cards you could. How? Simple, with all the benefits that you can add to a Digi-card, you could very easily do it. First and foremost, your Single is there, not only on mp3 but in uncompressed high fidelity audio. Your Video is also in two formats, compressed for mobile devices and HD for up to 4k TV screens. You have the ringtone, photos, lyrics, a welcome video that you want to share with each of your buyers, and many links to all of your social media so they can follow you and “Like” you. Last but not least, there is the opportunity for your music buyers to win prizes like t-shirts, an autographed guitar, baseball caps, etc., instantly. All of this while building your fan base and making five dollars a pop and not even doing anything extra you already have or have access to. Only Digi-cards download cards give you this opportunity, do not try it with anyone else, they can´t. This is why Digi-cards are the leading producers of download cards in the world.

DIGI-CARDS DOWNLOAD CARDS PLANNING TO GO RETAIL

WITH OVER 3.5 MILLION MUSIC ALBUMS DIGI-CARDS COULD MAKE A SPLASH

Vital Digital Global, parent company of Digi-cards download cards and global leader in the manufacture of multimedia download cards, announced today that it is taking steps to sell music albums via download cards of more than 20,000 major recording acts, from new releases to music catalog. Digi-cards have been long known for helping indie artists, DJs and small record labels sell music physically at gigs and events. It is also known for being the only download card company to work with some of the most famous recording artists in the industry; however, it was always just in the form of supplier. With this new business model, Digi-cards would enter the music download industry as a distributor with the potential of creating a new income generator for thousands of recording artists, composers, publishers and musicians. Details of this new venture and the mechanics of it have not been disclosed, except for the fact that it will offer both types of music downloads: Compressed (MP3) and Non-compressed for HD with the best audio quality. It will also offer video downloads, lyrics, photos, etc. With regard to the timing and launch, Jerry Harp (International Sales Manager) said: "We expect to launch our first music albums by the Fall of this year".

CD SALES DROP - DIGITAL DOWNLOADS STEADY, WHAT ABOUT DOWNLOAD CARDS?

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.

Everyone likes music by artists, on the radio, streamed, but who does not like the mixing of songs with non-stop beats playing hit after hit with a combination of audiovisual effects that every DJ artistically generates? Before Digi-cards was the thing of the moment, you would not hear that exact mix again, that combination of songs that made your body shiver, but now you can just walk up to the DJ and ask for his or her Digi-cards download cards, pay a small fee for their art (usually less than the cost of the drink in your hand) and “presto”. You will be driving home listening to that same mix that was produced for you by your friendly new pal Mr. or Ms. DJ. “I grew up in nightclubs in Mexico and the United States and very much respect what DJs do for the entertainment and music business.

DIGI-CARDS CONTINUE TO SAVE MILLIONS FOR CORPORATIONS

REPLACING PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS AND PRINTING GENERATES MILLIONS IN SAVINGS

When the Digi-cards download cards concept started in 2004 as a “Digimusicard”, it was created, as its name indicates, for the music business. Little-known to Gerardo Alton-Ortega, the creator of this product, the business was going to be in business. Yes, about 70% of Digi-cards revenue comes from corporate and small business sales. 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. By doing this, they saved in the cost of printed paper, CDs, DVDs, USBs, shipping, and not to mention the benefits to the environment, all of this in one card. Other benefits include: the database inception and generation, timely follow-ups after card activation, and the assurance that your target audience accessed the material provided. Production costs and shipping of Digi-cards download cards for businesses are well below other options, such as catalogs and other media, thus saving some companies up to millions per year.

MONEY-MAKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECORDING ARTISTS

MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECORDING ARTISTS

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.
