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.

We are finding that more and more, selling your CD’s in hard copy at live venues and gigs of any kind, is a vital source of income for artists.
For musicians it is usually just audio CD that they sell, but an idea worth considering is a live DVD as well.
Not many bands sell DVDs at music gigs and would be a very different and exciting piece of merchandise.
You can have a DVD in a single card wallet …just like a CD…so it is no more expensive to produce here..just few pence more for the disc.
You can get an instant price here:

Or you can call and chat to us for help and advice on 01702 530354.
We look forward to speaking to you.

In the covid world, with less opportunities for live music income, artists are looking for new opportunities to earn money.
Here’s an idea that will make you money.
Go back to all of your albums and release special versions only available on cd ….. the key here is not to upload this to
Spotify. You then give your fans a reason to buy your album!
Ideas to make it exclusive include:
For the Audio:
1.New tracks not on the original album
2.Remixes previously unreleased
3.Outtakes
4.Live versions
5.Instrumental versions
6. Lockdown Sessions
- You can also make the album art unique and desirable in itself.
- Many albums of course have the lyrics but what about explaining to your fans the background to how / why it was written
- Anything that makes it interesting…. that you can’t get on Spotify for free!
- Hope this helps to make you money let us know your success stories .
To help you even more add FREE4 in the special code box as you check out and we will give you 4 extra units free of charge.
You can check out our prices on the instant price calculator here:
