Zebralution Label Newsletter April 2010!
Time to line up for FIFA World Cup 2010 and provide us with your latest football related releases! Details on this and some more digital news: right here, right now! Ready for kick off!
1. Final call for World Cup and South African repertoire!

Did we miss something? Please send an overview of your football and South African repertoire to eric.schmitz@zebralution.com! Simply name artist, title and EAN/UPC! We‘re currently compiling appropriate retail product lists.

2. Adjust and optimize album prices!

10 tracks at € 9,90? How boring and unattractive is that?! We do receive retailer requests on a frequently basis, in which they ask for permission to lower the album/bundle price in these cases. For this reason we call on you:

Please do use low album/bundle price groups for albums with 10 tracks or less, where possible!

Moreover we often come across products, whose physical pendant is located in the Mid/Budget price segment, whereas the digital release vegetates in the shops at full price. We strongly recommend a price adjustment here, too. An important step to push sales!

Please send your physical Mid/Budget price schedules, including the requested price adjustments for the digital product, to eric.schmitz@zebralution.com!

Please use our price group list („Suggested retail pricing“) for orientation!

3. Product deep links for label/artist newsletter and web pages!

Need a product deep link for your newsletter, or a web page? Here You go:

iTunes: a right click on the cover artwork of the respective release opens a popup menu, from which you can chose “Copy Link”. Now the deep link is buffered and can be pasted (with another right click) wherever you like.

Musicload / Amazon and all other browser based shops: go to the product detail page and simply copy the URL from the (browser) address bar. Now paste it where needed.
