A
Letter From Our President: How This Remarkable Offer Came To Be
Dear Oasis Family,
Have you worked with us before? Then you know
that being in the Oasis family isn't about making discs. It's about
making music industry connections.
It's about EJ calling you with excitement in her voice, because she's found a presenter with an open slot for your best song. Or your Project Manager calling to tell you about a terrific artist who is interested in using your song on her next CD. It's about getting your music on one of our prestigious Oasis CD Samplers which are collected and played by more than five hundred broadcast radio stations around the country.
But after all of of this, how can we best help
you to carry the torch along with all of the inevitable self-promotion
that's needed to move ahead?
One nice big piece of the puzzle came to me
in a late-night phone call from my friend Derek Sivers (of CD Baby
fame). Derek was clearly excited about something. And whenever Derek's
excited, I pay attention.
"Micah," Derek said, "I'm going to put my friend
Ariel Soudak, founder of galaris.com, on the phone. He's compiling
an unusually high-quality database of verified music business contacts
for indie musicians. Your clients really need it."
The Galaris database, compiled by Ariel Soudak
and his band of programmers, has turned out to be just as good as
Derek promised me it would be:
It consists of more than 22,000 verified
music business contacts in every possible category of interest to
our artists: venues, record labels, booking agents and managers,
and more. And Galaris has a conscientious staff working constantly
to keep the database up-to-the-minute. It's extremely user friendly.
For example, you can send an email to a contact on this CD-ROM with
just one click. So you can initiate contact with these folks without
having to rekey anything--or even having to copy or paste!
The Oasis staff uses and loves the Galaris CD-ROM
system. The Oasis clients who have tested it also love it.
To make a long story short, Oasis has manufactured,
at our own expense, enough of our own beautifully packaged edition
of this CD-ROM to be able to make an edition of this database available
to you whenever you manufacture your new CD or DVD at Oasis.
No surprise there: Our most important Tools
of Promotion™ (TOP) services have always been completely free of
charge to Oasis clients. (Click here to learn about
our other Tools of Promotion services–all free of charge to
you when you order your discs from Oasis.)
The bottom line? When deciding whether to enlist
Oasis to produce your discs, please keep foremost in mind the remarkable
range of resources we are continually developing and updating for
you.
Keep in mind that working with Oasis isn't just
about discs.
It's about connections.
Sincerely,
Micah Solomon, President
Oasis Disc Manufacturing |
