Discark Download Cards are small, usually business card sized, cards that you may sell or give away as you would a regular album, single, DVD, audio book, etc. Each card has a unique code printed on it that your fans/customers simply type into the "Redeem Download Card Here" box on the Discark homepage. This brings them to a page where they can download their purchased product.
If you have a music album on Discark, you may sell the entire album or just a single track with your Download Card. Also,
you have the option of requiring your customers to enter an email address to get their download. This will help you keep your
customers up to date on new products and events. If you don't need their email address, that's OK too.

Download cards help you be environmentally conscious! In the past, many bands and companies would manufacture many discs and 'Shot gun' them to radio, media and press ' flooding them (and our landfills) with unwanted, and sometimes un-welcomed discs. We know this for sure' Our sister company is The CD Recycling Center of America, and we have learned from thousands of supporters that radio, media and press do not want unexpected discs showing up, piling up, and sitting around.
Promote yourself professionally To Radio, Media and Press ' Shot gunning manufactured discs can get costly. You spend significant time and money manufacturing, packaging and mailing discs to try to get as much promotion as possible for your release. The problem when sending unsolicited material to random addresses is most of these people are not expecting your package, and it gets overlooked, discarded or recycled. That's a lot of time, effort and money on taking a chance that your package gets opened and reviewed. With download cards, you can hand or mail them out efficiently, at a much lower cost. Your thin envelope will not get placed in the unsolicited disc pile, and hopefully will get opened sooner than later, if at all. Then' Viola' the person sitting at their computer can instantly use the Internet to check you out, and your release ' on their time and terms that's convenient for them. More importantly, on your back end interface, you'll get to see how many people actually even used your download card. You can chart your results!
Use your download card to promote a free sample of your release ' This is a great way to get attention, attract more fans/customers and generate sales. Sometimes when you give away a little sample of something, they'll come back to purchase to whole enchilada. Discark has programmed the system that allows you to choose if you do or do not want to collect the names and email addresses of those people that actually use the download card you handed out. If you choose to, you'll get the names and email addresses of you potential future fans or customers.
