Alternative Sales Sources For Your Music
Following, is a list of alternative sources that may be
interested in carrying your music for sale for their particular
clients and customers, if only they were aware of your music.
Most of the clients and customers are already "captive"
audiences who are waiting on a product or service, so why not
promote (and sell) to them as they wait?
Additionally, if these sources have their own in-house music
system (which many do), you should also speak with them
regarding adding your music to their own in-house "playlist."
In some instances, I have also suggested certain genres that I
feel will lend themselves best to the particular businesses
below, however, it will also depend on the businesses' own
personal tastes as well.
