PassAlong Networks Launches MP3-Only Store with PromoCard Services in time for Holiday Music Download Gift Cards

Music Download Interoperability to be the Gift of this Holiday Season


Franklin, Tenn. — September 19, 2007 — PassAlong Networks™ and PromoCard Services have launched an MP3-only online store to make download gift cards and music incentive programs more accessible and easier to use for a broader universe of consumers. The MP3-only download store (http://MP3.BallyhooMusic.com) will feature 2.1 million songs from independent labels and from EMI, making it the largest legal MP3 catalog that includes songs from a major label.

Utilizing PassAlong Networks' StoreBlocks™ music distribution platform, which supports Safari, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox browsers, the MP3 tracks available at the site work with both Macintosh and Windows operating systems. Consumers of digital music widely prefer the MP3 format because of its interoperability and ease of use.

Music download cards and gift cards can be offered at retail counters, included inside product packaging or distributed at concerts and other events. The promotions are PIN-based (personal identification numbers) and can be used in virtual promotions where PINs are sent out via email or printed on transaction receipts. Consumers can then visit a branded web page to redeem their gift cards.

"Gift cards and incentive programs have the most marketing value when they reach as broad an audience as possible with an engaging and easy-to-use experience for consumers," said Dave Jaworski, CEO of PassAlong Networks. "Music downloads offer great potential as incentive marketing tools, but interoperability across multiple platforms is essential for these programs to succeed."

Lifestyle brands and retailers are increasingly using music downloads as part of their incentive marketing programs for consumers. Labels and artist managers are using download cards to promote artists and to offer fans with special content at events. Charities are also collaborating with artists and brands to allow fans to support causes that they care about. For more information, contact PromoCard Services or PassAlong Networks.
