We are busy with Christmas albums as usual, and its worth a reminder to stock up for Christmas and New Year Gigs and celebrations.
Have a think about adding extra value to your fans by just signing your cds and dvds ; we understand from customers that this is really valued . You could also think about just repackaging an older recording with some Christmas artwork on the disc and printed paper/card parts .

If you thought that the end of the DVD is nigh, you might want to think again. Like anything else in life it’s not straight forward anymore, but little nuggets exist under rocks if you seek them out. The question we are often asked is that “people don’t have DVD players anymore” so how can our customer play them?
DVD PLAYERS
The above is generally true but, older people still have DVD players and use them, a lot, so don’t ignore this market.
CD/DVD DRIVES ON PCs & MACS
Lots of people still have drives on their main systems so don’t forget they can play DVDs.
GAMERS
X Boxes and PS 3s 4s 5s all play DVDs!
Most households have a gamer – young or old – so don’t miss this and remind your customers!
SELLING DIGITALLY
We enable you to sell you DVD video content online. Instead of buying a DVD, your customer buys a file to download and play.
This is not streaming. This is you selling them the digital file for viewing on any player that supports MP4s so PCs/Macs/Tablets/TVs with that functionality etc see www.thedigitalpublishingcenter.com It’s a self service website and relies on you setting everything up, but once you have done it you are away.
BLURAY
BluRay works beautifully on Gamers Xboxes and PS 3/4/5 too so make sure you don’t miss this.
The key is to make your customers aware of the above.
