In-Store Distribution for Your CD
- CD Baby will make your CD available to over 2400 CD stores worldwide (mostly United States).
- Even better than typical distribution, though, you get paid your full CD Baby price, with no returns, and you always get paid the following week, just like a regular CD Baby sale.
- This is done through our partnership with one of the largest one-stop distributors in America.
What is a “One-Stop”?
- A “one-stop” is a wholesaler that gets products from many different distributors, into one central ordering system for retail stores.
- A one-stop CD distributor offers retail stores everything from the Beatles to Miles Davis, and now : you.
- Retail stores order from a one-stop to save time and trouble over ordering from many different distributors.
- Our primary partnership is with Super D : one of the largest one-stop CD distributors in America.
- Super D has a great reputation, a great sales staff, and are very excited to be making the CD Baby catalog available to every retail store.
- We also work directly with several of Super D's partner companies (CD Connection, CD Universe, and Cheap-CDs), and with In-and-Out Records in Austria, who are all great supporters of independent music.
How it Works:
- If your CD is not in CD Baby yet, sign it up like normal. Mail us the CDs.
- Once your CD is active and available on cdbaby.com, (with a barcode), we send Super D and the other stores daily updates of your info, pricing, and inventory.
- Super D's database (called “SuperFile”) and B2B site are sent to over 2400 retail stores around the world, to let them know these titles are available for ordering.
- Any store can then sell your CD by buying it through Super D.
- Log in to your account and click [MEMBER TOOLS], up top, then In-Store Distribution Outlets to browse the database of stores.
- As soon as Super D receives the order from the store, they tell CD Baby, and we ship it to Super D by UPS that same day. Super D sends it to the store the next day.
- The order gets put into our system like any other order, with our partner's info as the customer, for you to see.
- Like always, you get an email that night, telling you it's shipped, and you get paid along with our every-Monday-night payments.
