HOW MANY RETAILERS WILL THE HURRICANE HEALING ALBUM BE LISTED WITH?
We expect to have the Hurricane Healing digital albums with up to 90% of our retailers below within 2 months. It will take this long for all the digital systems to ingest all the content and get this into the digital retail systems. We will be given priority over most content but there is still a process involved that requires labour to encode and then systems to deliver the music to the retailers. We will have close to 100% of all our digital partners selling the album in 90 days. This relief effort will be on going for many years. We expect the albums to continue to sell for a very long time and with your support we will be able to renew the content periodically. This is a long term project for all the people involved.
WILL YOU HAVE RINGTONES OF INDIVIDUAL TRACKS AND THE ALBUM FOR SALE?
We will have your music listed with over 300 Ringtone retailing sites around the world through our ringtone partners. The music will be available as individual tracks and also as the full album. We will have this all updated on the Hurricane Healing site as we have more content providers distribute the content.
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL HURRICANE HEALING DONATE AND WHAT WILL I MAKE AS AN ARTIST OR LABEL FOR HELPING THIS PROJECT?
The business model that we have created is the following:
Royalty Rate: 50% of all income received will be donated directly to the Salvation Army Head office in the USA. For every dollar generated in revenue the following deductions shall apply.
Revenue: $1.00
01
Less donation to Salvation Army: .50c
02
Less advertising, promotion, operations, distribution, legals, accounting: .30c
03
Net payment to the artis or label: .20c
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE WE START TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO THE SALVATION ARMY?
Payments are made at the end of each trading month. We expect to make our first payment at the end of November 2005. We will have the details listed on the website as we make the donations. The payments are all subject to sales of the albums. Sales are directly dependant of how quickly we get your content and information associated with the respective release coded and loaded to the digital systems. Please adhere to the instructions and have a good read over the documents attached and the rest will all fall into place. For more information on who we are and what we do read over this microsite.
