The campaign · Pre-sale

Pre-sale before streaming.

The store opens while the song is still unreleased. Exclusive files live only in that window. Checkout starts the list you will actually own.

Independent artist pre-sale storefront with exclusive downloads before streaming

What pre-sale includes

  • A storefront that can actually sell

    A full shop or a simpler drop page, matched to where you are. Selling does not wait on a custom site.

  • Exclusive content in the window

    Downloads, stems, extras, and files that only exist before the record hits DSPs.

  • Capture on the first checkout

    Email and SMS start when the first fan pays. Followers stay on the platforms. Buyers come to you.

  • Tracking before the open

    Analytics, UTM, a test purchase, and QA so the store is not the first time anyone buys.

How it fits the eight weeks

Week 1 is the open

Pre-sale is the start of the clock, not a side store. Exclusive content is the reason to buy now instead of waiting for streaming.

The list is the asset

Every checkout writes a buyer you can message. That list is what later weeks convert into merch and day-one streams.

Quoted after consultation

Nothing goes live until the master is final, the audience is real, and eight weeks can hold.
