Bandzoogle announced this week that they have facilitated more than $1 million in commission free sales for their community of do it yourself artists. Designed first as a web site building tool for musicians, Bandzoogle.com is becoming a hub for a d.i.y music marketing and commerce.
The storefront is one many features that can be added to websites on Bandzoogle. Using PayPal for transactions, musicians can accept credit cards and sell both physical merchandise and digital downloads direct to fans. Mailing list software, music players and a calendar are a few of the other features included in the integrated platform that empowers users with no web skills to create robust custom music websites.
“The fact that Bandzoogle lets artists keep 100 percent of their sales sets us apart from the vast majority of e-commerce solutions for musicians,” says Chris Vinson, president of Bandzoogle. “And our team is proud to have helped our members reach this million-dollar milestone,” he says. “It demonstrates how our tools are helping musicians succeed on the web.”
Founded by Chris Vinson, formerly a major-label musician and website designer for multi-platinum bands, Bandzoogle runs on Amazon Web Services platform with state-of-the-art servers and reliability. Chris was inspired to launch Bandzoogle after developing a control panel that allowed label managers to update content on their bands’ web sites.
