nimbit Extends Music Commerce Platform to Facebook.com Network
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) FRAMINGHAM, MA, October 4 / MARKET WIRE/ --
nimbit, inc., a leading direct-to-fan
marketing and distribution platform for independent bands and record
labels, announces the immediate availability of its Online Merch Table
(OMT) suite for artists through a presence on the Facebook social
networking site.
The nimbit OMT is a first-of-a-kind web 'widget' that can be easily placed
on a variety of websites, blogs, and social networking sites. It allows the
artists to sell CDs, MP3s, and tickets from a single online storefront.
Fans can make purchases, sign up to mailing lists and read tour and bio
information on the artist. Even more, fans can place the widget on their
own sites and profiles for greater artist exposure and fan loyalty.
By making the nimbit OMT available for use on the Facebook network, artists
now have even greater access to a growing community of fans. Earlier this
year Facebook opened up its platform to 3rd party developers wanting to
utilize and distribute their own complementary applications. With this
release, any Facebook user can now place an artist's OMT on their Facebook
page.
According to nimbit CEO, Patrick Faucher, "We see the Facebook network as
an ideal platform for artists to sell product and engage fans in promoting
and distributing their music. We've already seen great success with artists
maintaining their OMT on both their official website and their MySpace
page. The Online Merch Table is perfectly built to take advantage of the
Facebook networking features and leverage the fan-to-fan relationships that
already exist."
Key nimbit OMT features include:
-- Artists can sell their entire catalog of music and merchandise
including MP3s, CDs, t-shirts and tickets wherever their fans are on the
Internet
-- One checkout enables easy purchases for fans and easy customer
tracking for artists and their teams
-- Musicians retain all customer info by selling directly to fans
-- Artists can build their fanbase and street teams through store sharing
& central fan signup
-- Dynamic calendar and bio updates broadcast to all OMT widget
placements throughout the Internet
-- The OMT widget can be easily embedded into virtually any website, blog
or social networking site
Additional nimbit benefits:
-- No upfront fees
-- Central Fulfillment - nimbit warehouses, processes, ships and
downloads.
-- The industry's highest financial payout to artists of 80% or more of
every sale.
