	NOVEMBER 2007 Now here's a strange twist... a CD manufacturer helping musicians sell digital downloads. But it's true... NEW FROM MMS... PRE-PAID DIGITAL DOWNLOAD CARDS! Perfect for your fans who prefer to buy music as a download rather than on CD! MMS now offers pre-paid digital download cards, which you can sell at your live shows, use for promotional give-aways, or whatever you want. Here’s how it works: Pre-paid digital download cards are available from MMS for as little as $1.07 per card, and in quantities as low as 250 units. The cards are thick plastic, the size of a credit card, and custom-printed in full colour with your artwork. The price includes the card, the coding and a download fee. On the back of the card, there's a unique code that is like a coupon code for your fans to download your music. The card can be good for all the tracks on your current album, or whichever tracks you choose, plus artwork or downloadable images – whatever you choose to include. The music is all unrestricted, with no DRM, and it will play on anyone’s iPod or MP3 player. You sell the cards at your live shows for whatever price you set (usually around $10 for a full album), or you give them away free as a promo item or EPK. The download is delivered by zunior.com (a great indie digital music store). The tracks are all pre-paid. Your fans don’t pay anything further, and neither do you. Zunior.com provides a quality download experience, including complete customer service in case your fans have any difficulty downloading. As a bonus, by utilizing the MMS digital download card, your music will be automatically added to the zunior.com digital store for purchase by anybody! You can even have your download card pasted to a 4” x 6” presentation card with removable glue, for extra promotional impact. To get started, call your MMS rep and ask for details today!
