Record Industry

Having a well integrated direct to consumer (D2C) offering gives you the ability to interact directly with fans and to receive real time feedback on the artists on your label. Not opinion, but real metrics based on track downloads.

Our D2C stores can integrate with your physical offerings, can capture a wide range of data about your customers and their listening habits, as well as providing them with instant access to content the very moment it is released.

Our API developer service provides you with the flexibility to integrate the 7digital media platform with your existing web services, alternatively we work with clients to develop fully managed download stores. Whether you are a Product Manager with the primary objective of managing the launch of new releases or if you are looking to provide fans access to your entire catalogue, contact the 7digital sales team for more information.

Artist Stores
Our Artist Store is an ideal platform for individual artists to sell their music directly to fans from their own branded store, offering features that ensure an excellent customer purchase experience.  Our service includes a variety of billing methods as part of the standard store build, including Visa, MasterCard, Solo, Maestro, AMEX, PayPal, Click To Buy as well as purchasing through SMS purchase and vouchers.


Widgets can be generated for every piece of product in a store allowing visitors to grab the player and place it on their MySpace, FaceBook, or other social networking site.  All widgets direct traffic to the store increasing the exposure of your broader catalogue to the online community.

Our Artist Store service has been used by a wide range of acts, from unsigned artists to established international acts, including Kylie, U2, Imogen Heap and Iron Maiden.

“The store looks great and works incredibly smoothly and it's always a pleasure working with the team at 7digital” Chris Farrow (Glasvegas Product Manager Sony Music)
 
Label Stores
When Universal Music requested a flagship download store for one of their most prestigious labels, Island Records, 7digital delivered a fully branded service (Island Tunes) allowing customers to purchase downloads from their classic back-catalogue alongside current frontline artists.

Island Tunes is a prime example of what a record label can achieve using the 7digital label Store platform.

“I worked with 7digital to launch Island Tunes over 4 years ago. We created the first label digital store and a forerunner of all the current D2C activity. The 7digital team have always worked hard to hit tight deadlines and make our marketing ideas a reality. ” Glenn Cooper, (Head of Digital, Island Records)
