Whatever you call it, it’s really just another way to stimulate holiday sales! However since many sellers rely heavily on holiday gift giving to meet their annual sales goals, this is an important time for them. Whether it’s brick & mortar or online retail, tis the season for shopping. Enter also this scenario, the independent musician, artist or band. Some may not realize, but they/we also rely on this revenue stream to meet their annual financial goals. Yes, artists have bills to pay and a retirement to save for too. However while many bands do a lot of business online, there are just as many of these same independent artists who don’t have as much access to brick & mortar retail stores these days mainly because there just aren’t as many brick & mortar record stores now as there once were. That leaves fewer selling options and the lion share of our sales areĀ still iTunes, Amazon, our website and live performance sales. That said, we say every day is Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday when you’re a touring artist or roots music band! To celebrate this holiday season and all of you we’d like to extend a special Buy One, Get One Free CD special offer. When you make a purchase from this website we will include a free CD with ALL CD purchases until Christmas. If you order two at once-that means we send 2 free CD’s. It will need to be our choice though, because we have more inventory on certain titles than we do on others. You can always share the freebie. Similarly, if you buy a T-shirt or poster, we’ll also send a free CD. In addition, if you should need quantities (10 or more) of any title for employee or client gifts, contact us directly at tsimieninc@aol.com to discuss a discount of our (already) fair trade priced CD’s. Happy holidays and again we thank you from the bottom of our heart for supporting independent roots music artists!
