Digital companies woo indie retailers at Bard conference.(News)
The burgeoning digital market figured prominently at the first Bard Indie Conference, as two companies unveiled services designed to help independent retailers to compete in the download market.
7 Digital managing director Ben Drury introduced his company's "low risk" Independent Retail Download service, which allows retailers to operate their own download store, with access to the entire 7 Digital catalogue of 200,000 tracks, increasing to more than 1m by summer 2006.
The basic service costs 495 [pounds sterling] a year, with retailers receiving 10% to 20% of download revenue. Tracks are available at 192kbps, higher quality than many download sites, while the site will support MP3, WMA and AAC formats and all tracks can be paid for by text message.
In addition, a partnership with Vital:Pias will give independent retailers the option to create their own bespoke version of the shop, with added functionality and features particular to individual retailers' needs.
"We have worked hard to make our services as affordable as possible," said Drury. "Our aim is for the service to be complementary to what you are doing in store. You can promote it in store and even have a terminal in store."
