Fewer people own a CD player, yet the CD still sells: as an object, a souvenir and a way to support an artist. How to make it worth it.

Fewer people own a CD player, yet the CD still sells: as an object, a souvenir and a way to support an artist. How to make it worth it.

People who buy a CD today buy an object and a way to support you, not only a way to listen. That changes how you make and sell it.

Make it an object

A digipack, a booklet, a signature. The sleeve is what people keep on the shelf.

Set a fair price

Nikkfurie sells the CD digipack of « Ghost Company 2 » at €12 on HYK, with free shipping in France: 40 CDs sold.

Add a limited version

Next to the CD, a pack in a small number with a bonus. His Pack Collector limited to 10 at €20 sold out.

Sell it everywhere you play

At shows and on your page, with one link. A buyer at a concert often becomes a subscriber.

Next step: Publish your CD on HYK at app.hyk.media. Then read the Physical Drops and Pricing guides.
