Press Release Body = Thursday, November 03, 2005-- In an effort to send independent
band's sales through the roof, Music-Tech.Net, the premier marketing engine for the
retail of digital music products, has designed an authentic and incredible
independent band competition. The Music-Tech.Net Indie Artist Showcase™ runs in
twelve week cycles and will prove to be a revolutionary predictor of indie band
success, and the goal is to increase the CD sales of signed and unsigned independent
bands. Independent bands are selected to showcase based on electronic press kits,
talent and marketability. Music-Tech.Net will present selected bands' CDs for sale
in the “Music-Tech.Net Indie Artist Showcase™” and in targeted internet marketing
campaigns. Music-Tech.Net extends an invitation to independent bands to submit their
web site and/or electronic press kit for review.
Band's electronic press kits must include a link to the band's web site, photos, a
short bio, performance calendar, music samples and lyrics for all tracks on the CD.
Samples must not be longer than two minutes or one half the length of the track.
Bands must have a market ready CD product available for download and/or for mail to
buyers. All genres are accepted for review provided content is for general
audiences. To win the showcase bands will compete by actively performing and
promoting their CD through marketing channels and sending fans from concerts, online
marketing campaigns, radio and other promotional resources to their web site and to
Music-Tech.Net to purchase their CD.
An Award of Distinction is given to the artist/band in the Indie Artist Showcase™
with the most units sold during the twelve week period. The recipient of the award
will receive a gift certificate up to $6,000.00 based on CD sales from
Music-Tech.Net and/or sponsors. The recipient will receive press exposure and
internet marketing support. Additionally, among the many benefits to each band
showcased is the commission from the sale of their CD. The showcase is to culminate
in an event and performance in the great city of Atlanta, GA where the Award of
Distinction and gift certificate will be presented.
During showcases Music-Tech.Net, finalists' and winners' web sites have shown
significant increases in web site traffic. With each showcase Music-Tech.Net strives
to reach closer proximity to the advertising campaign goal of over 2,800,000
visitors/impressions during the twelve week showcase.
