Following on from an article I read about being properly self-sufficient as an independent artist, I have decided to create my own shop. It will run independently and complimentary to Bandcamp.
The idea here is that some people prefer to use Bandcamp and there are others who would prefer to shop direct. I hope to cater to both customer types. So, if streaming is your thing and you want the download and the ability to stream it with the Bandcamp app (which is awesome, by the way), then Bandcamp is the place to go. If you are not bothered about that and just want the CD or whatever, then the obvious place to come is here!
In addition to all the benefits of being 100% self reliant, I can offer things that cannot be accomplished easily – or at all – on Bandcamp. Namely, CD Bundles / special packages and stuff like that. Our 3, 4, 5 or 6 album bundles were hugely popular many years ago.
As you will have noticed already, our site is fully secured with SSL so you can rest assured that any transaction you make will be fully encrypted. In addition, absolutely no credit card details are stored here – only PayPal would have access to that sort of data in order to process a sale.
Essentially, it’s all about choice and I hope by giving another option that even more directly supports the band, it keeps everyone happy.
Keep popping back – the store is under development and will be ready in time for the new album – if not before!
