Chris Cantell Discusses Entertainment: MySpace and Zazzle get together

by Barbora Kasparova

Better opportunities for starting artists, wider selection for consumers. On their official web site www.zazzle.com, Zazzle, the on-demand retail provider, promises: "Stay tuned... Something big is coming." The company started operating on-line in 2003. In 2007 they have a deal with MySpace, one of the world's favorite social network (Facebook fans, no offense). There are over 6 million bands and musical artists registered on MySpace at the moment (this number is growing, of course). With over 200 million accounts and up to 230 000 new users signing up for MySpace account every day, there is quite a market for possible music demand!Some of the popular artists have, in fact, successfully employed MySpace in their music promotion (Arctic Monkeys, for example).As an artist or a band - send a new friend invitation to random people, the curious ones will view your profile and might get interested in your music. However, up till now, users would have to use different tools to be able to purchase the musical "products" advertised on MySpace. See what will happen when Zazzle.com and MySpace cooperate? Well,it already did happen. Since October 30th 2007 the users of MySpace are able to purchase merchandise from MySpace musicians directly through their MySpace account. That makes it easier for the consumers. The artists will benefit as well & there are no up-front costs, fees or contracts necessary. How many times have we heard starting musicians lamenting over the financial costs of being a beginner? Well, get yourself together now and start selling your stuff.
