Feb. 6, 2008 - PRLog -- Myrtle Beach, SC….The Company announces today, they now have 30 top Independent Music Retailers participating in their AD SAMPLER program.   The program is perhaps the most well-rounded and comprehensive HIGHLY TARGETED BY GENRE multi-media music advertising packages available.  The current number of participating Retailers is up from 5, when the program launched in late 2007.   The program, and all its’ many advertising inclusions, is fully detailed on their new website www.adsampler.net.

A One Stop Shop, the Multi-Media Ad Samplers combine In-store Price & Positioning, Webstore Price & Positioning (all Ad Sampler Retailers operate fully operational webstores), E-Blasts & E-Newsletters to the Retailers’ targeted customers, Social Networking announcements, and E-Bulletins to their “Friends”.  Programs include Banners, Flash Ads, Audio and Video Downloads,  Snippets, Link capabilities, Sale Pricing, Listening Posts, Lightboxes, End Caps, Direct Mail, and much more.

“We are very pleased and honored to offer Ad Samplers from 30 unique Retailers who, with over 1,000 years of combined experience provide a creative turnkey advertising atmosphere unequalled in the standard cookie-cutter advertising arena.  They are embracing the future of music buying by being able to offer multiple channels of purchasing; all at the Point of Sale”, says Gale Rosenberg – President of Web ‘n Retail.

Ad Sampler “All Genre” and “Specialty Retailers” include: All That Music & Video, Angelo’s CD’s, Borderline Music, CD World, Chaz’s Bull City Records, Cheapo Discs Denver, Classical Millennium, Culture Clash, Disc-O-Rama, DJ Specialty Shop, Down In The Valley, Etherea, Finders Records, Gonzales Music, Hot Poop, In Da Cut, LA Rhythms, Melody Records, Music Box, Music Is Everything, Music Millennium, Orange Music Emporium, Record Runner, Sgt. Peppers Music & Video, Sounds N Da Hood, Street Corner Music, Strictly Discs, Toxic Ranch, Vital Vinyl & Zions Gate Records.

To date, the Ad Sampler program has advertised CD & DVD releases for Universal, Fontana, RED, WEA, IDN, Brody Group & Morphius Distribution and Astonish, UMRG/Republic, Interscope, Amoeba, Smog Veil, Evil Teen, Roadrunner, Destin 2 B 1, Acrobat, Legacy, Ruthless & Trippin’ ‘n Rhythm Labels.  Artists include:  No More Kings, Gram Parsons, Pere Ubu, Gov’t Mule, One Republic, Godsmack, Dragonforce, Killswitch Engage, God’s Chosen, Percy Sledge, Common, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Dead Prez & Paul Hardcastle.  The program is not limited to CD’s & DVD’s;   any Advertiser seeking to reach this desirable demographic for their product or service, will be considered.

The Ad Sampler cross markets its advertised music titles with EZ-Tracks.com via a Web ‘n Retail dedicated page entitled “Featured Artists”.  Every Ad Sampler includes a full page, in perpetuity, for their Ad Sampler advertised Release on EZ-Tracks.com.   EZ-Tracks is the 1,278th highest trafficked site on the Web* across all categories, and attracts only music consumers.  Each EZ-Tracks page re-directs the consumer to the designated Ad Sampler Retailer’s webstore to purchase each designated title.

Ad Samplers are HIGHLY NICHE TARGETED BY GENRE (over 50 targeted genres) and Geographic Location,  thus eliminated wasted Ad expenditures for en masse banner advertising – generally not at the Point-of-Purchase.  The cost per HIGHLY TARGETED Ad Sampler impression is 4 to 6, Ten Thousandths of ONE Cent;  substantially lower than en masse or  loosely  targeted internet advertising alone – and includes the In-store, E-blast & Social Networking features as well.

Those interested in advertising within the Ad Sampler, or Retailers who fit the requirements and are interested in participating in the program, should  contact Web 'n Retail via www.adsampler.net, by phone at (843) 497-3820, or via direct e-mail at:   mailto:gale@webnretail.net.
