BUYWIDGET EMBEDDABLE MUSIC DOWNLOAD WIDGET LAUNCHES
Service allows any site or blog to instantly and easily sell digital music
MIAMI, FL (May 26, 2010) – BuyWidget, the distributed commerce service, announced today that it has launched its new embeddable music download widget. With the launch of BuyWidget, any site or blog can instantly and easily build a custom playlist, embed a widget, and sell track or album music downloads to their visitors.
BuyWidget allows site owners to enhance their user experience and derive added revenue. BuyWidget eliminates the need for any site to integrate a proprietary cart or e-commerce solution, and unlike standard affiliate sales models, the entire transaction takes place on the actual site where the widget is located, avoiding the redirection of visitors to a third party or competitive site.
With just a few quick steps, bloggers or site owners can search from more than 8 million high quality MP3s (encoded at 296 kbps or higher), build their personalized playlist, add their own logo to their BuyWidget, name the playlist and embed the BuyWidget code. BuyWidget supports standard HTML, WordPress, TypePad or Blogger sites. Site publishers can update the BuyWidget tracks and albums or the sequence as often as they like. To fulfill the BuyWidget downloads, BuyWidget has partnered with MediaNet, the leading provider of premium digital media content. BuyWidget does not require a monthly sales minimum, setup charge or initiation fee.
BuyWidget allows a site publisher to embed playlists to accompany music-related editorial stories, music reviews, and artist profiles. Widgets can be built using either pre-programmed or personalized thematic or topic-specific playlists to provide appropriately suggested tracks for events and special occasions – with all songs or albums quickly purchasable from the associated BuyWidget.
“With BuyWidget, website owners, blog owners and publishers can build a truly immersive experience – where music transactions are closely tied to their site’s editorial content,” said John Jones, CEO of BuyWidget. “It’s a great opportunity for sites of all traffic levels to derive incremental income from the sale of music downloads, built around a personalized playlist of meaningful music choices and recommendations, and for artists and labels to virally expand their points of sales distribution beyond dedicated online music commerce sites.”
