When releasing Gwen Stefani&#8217;s new album &#8220;Bouquet&#8221; on CD they took to the airwaves.  HSN airwaves to be precise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Labels and Artists are still selling Physical Media in 2024?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes in fact many labels and artists are making heavy pushes back into physical media because the return on investment is much higher than streaming returns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Gwen Stefani on HSN hawking her new CD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s about meeting your customers where they are at. Gone are the days of pushing out albums through a physical distribution channel. While Walmart, Target and Best Buy may still have a tiny retail footprint dedicated to selling physical albums, that doesn&#8217;t mean that folks that buy physical albums are making it to the store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The marketing demographics for individuals purchasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/printing\/cd-dvd-pricing.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/printing\/cd-dvd-pricing.php\">albums on compact disc <\/a>skews older and HSN still is able to grab a decent amount of those eyeballs. As they age, they are less likely to visit retail stores for shopping excursions so Universal went to them via HSN&#8217;s direct sales TV network.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I&#8217;m not big enough to get on HSN &#8211; How can I meet my audience where they are at?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Websites are a great way to meet your audience where they are and of course one of the oldest ways is still a great method &#8211; The Merch Table.  Folks who have come to listen to your music want to support you as an artist.  Compact Discs give them a great option to show their monetary support to your artwork and the physical item will always outperform intangible products like streaming.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Custom-CD.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"588\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Custom-CD.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1421\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Custom-CD.jpg 588w, http:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Custom-CD-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Custom-CD-452x300.jpg 452w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you ready to press some CDs for your next Show? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are here when you are ready &#8211; no quantities are too small. you can always visit our main website for your next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/printing\/cd-dvd-pricing.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.techwaredist.com\/printing\/cd-dvd-pricing.php\">Album Pressing<\/a> or call us at 952-944-00830<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The simple answer has always been &#8220;Meet people where they are at.&#8221; Look no further than the strategy employed by the folks at likely the biggest label in the world &#8211; Universal.
