Bandbox Pro Takes “Do-It-Yourself” Music Sales to a Whole New Level

Nashville, TN— Bandbox (http://www.bandbox.com), the only direct-to-fan platform solely committed to serving the needs of its artists, has just launched Bandbox Pro, a new service that gives artists the freedom and flexibility to sell both digital music and physical merchandise, such as CDs, through a risk-free, easy-to-use system. In addition, artists are given access to important consumer information such as a fan’s name and email address, giving them the opportunity to communicate directly with fans and to sell products they know their fans want. In line with Bandbox’s mission to “serve artists well,” artists are not required to pay the small monthly fee upfront but are given the option to have it deducted only when they make a sale, further lowering the risk for artists.

“There is no other digital music sales platform on the market that offers this type of low-risk, flexible service for artists,” says Brian Peterson, Bandbox Co-Founder and CEO. “Artists today expect more and Bandbox Pro enables artists of all kinds, from up-and-coming indie artists to top-selling musicians, to sell whatever they want, whenever they want and gives them access to important information that will enable them to get to know the needs of their fans on a more direct level.”

Reba McEntire, one of country music’s best-selling female artists and her record label, The Valory Music Co., have recently teamed up with Bandbox for the launch of her upcoming album. “Bandbox gives us the freedom and flexibility to maximize the relationship Reba has with her fans," said Justin McIntosh, Manager of Web Services & Marketing at The Valory Music Co. “The system empowers us to make smart marketing decisions and to engage directly with Reba’s fans, which is a huge need in the music industry today."

Bandbox’s mission is to serve artists well by providing them a cost-free and risk-free solution for selling music directly to their fans. Bandbox returns 100% of its digital profits back to the artist for free, allowing them to set their own price point and sales strategies. In addition to the revenue generated from the Bandbox Pro monthly service fee, Bandbox keeps a percentage of gross sales on CDs and merchandise and generates advertising revenue from both premium sponsorships and their vertical ad network. Bandbox remains at the forefront of industry trends and will continue to evolve with changing technology and consumer demands. The company already represents over a dozen of the top-selling artists on the market today. For more information, visit www.bandbox.com.
