Advertising and Service Pricing
Advertising Pricing:
Banner Ads (468x60) |
||||||||
|
We have kept our banner ‘ad’ pricing simple to make it easy for advertisers to conduct a campaign with the Altsounds network of sites:
CPM (cost per thousand impressions) is $5 for a non geo-targeted campaign with a minimum ‘ad’ order of 10,000 impressions ($50). When you run your campaign with Altsounds Ltd your ‘ad’ is displayed across the entire Altsounds network consisting of the multiple sites detailed above. We can also geo-target your ‘ad’ to a particular area (i.e. if you only want your ‘ad’ displayed to UK Altsounds visitors). This service is available for $7 CPM and there is a minimum order of 10,000 impressions ($70).
Please visit http://www.altsounds.com to see an example of ‘ads’ in action. To discuss options further please e-mail chris@altsounds.com or call +44 2920 161534. |

Full Album Streams |
|
Full album streams on Altsounds are very popular. We have examples where over 2,000 plays of a particular album were achieved in less than 15 minutes. Full Album Streams are free but we do require, that if you participate in a Full Album Stream, you promote it’s presence on Altsounds.com.
This promotion will vary depending on label size and their associated promotional abilities. It can be as small as a link on the band’s ‘Myspace’ page or as big as a full mailing list blast. We just require you to promote it as much as you can and, in return, we will also promote it through our mailing lists, front page etc. Full Album Streams: Free with appropriate promotion. To order a Full Album Stream please e-mail chris@altsounds.com. |
AltPremium Upgrade / Sponsoring Label |
||||
|
Becoming an Altsounds sponsoring label holds many benefits for full exposure of your bands! Many signed acts have received well over a million song-plays giving huge additional revenue for that label! As most signed bands generate a lot of traffic on Altsounds, the only cost of being a sponsoring label is the premium upgrade per month, per band.
The premium upgrade offers unlimited bandwidth per month whereas free accounts only offer 5GB bandwidth per month. The cost for the upgrade per band is $5 or £5 (depending on your location) per month. If your label has 10 bands, the cost of being an Altsounds sponsoring label will be $50 or £50 (depending on location) per month. However, for that you will get unlimited song, video, store, pics and events for each band. We even offer HTML codes for you to post the content on other websites in order to fully promote your bands. As we offer up to 320kbps MP3 streaming, you can make your bands stand out by replacing the ‘Myspace’ or ‘Purevolume’ player with the Altsounds player. This will allow visitors to listen to the songs at hi bit rates instead of the 96kbps that ‘Myspace’ and ‘Purevolume’ offers. By using the Altsounds player everywhere, it will track your song-play statistics to a very detailed level. It lets you know how many plays each song receives on any given day of any given month of any given year. This function is amazing for tracking the activity of your bands song-plays around the globe! To signup as a sponsoring record label please e-mail chris@altsounds.com or call +44 2920 161534 and let us know how many bands you would like to add and we will send over an invoice for all bands so that you are billed for all bands in one subscription. If you just want to upgrade one account to premium membership you can do so by using the subscribe buttons below!

Artist Marketing and Development |
||||
|
In a world of mediocre bands you really need the right image both visually and sonically for your band to make the record company executives ears twitch enough to’ ink’ a deal with you!
Every band needs to be developed. Labels used to do this sort of development, but in the digital age, it is left up to the bands to find their own way. Most bands cannot do this on their own or don't even know where to begin, and that's where we come in. Altsounds' staff has over 7 years' development experience helping some of today's biggest bands like 10 Years, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Fray, and more! Combining our talents for production, design, and marketing we can bring your vision to life. We know what it takes to make a band successful, whether they're unsigned or on a label. If you have the musical talent, we can do the rest. Our service includes: • logo designs • one sheets • photography • bios • audio remixing and mastering • production notes • on-site promotion • PR services • industry consultation/contact introductions This service is only for serious bands who believe have the talent to make it big. Our current roster includes: • the story so far • indorphine • veronicas veil • program the dead • Plus many more!
