[BROADTIME STORES] - SXSW Next Week, Store Questionnaire, New Preorders, Weekly Social Assets, Blocks and More - March 10, 2022

 

Greetings everyone, 

SXSW Logo
We're excited to head to Austin next week for SXSW to contribute and learn more about what's new and emerging in the tech and music worlds. If you're going to be in Austin as well, let's connect! I'd love to grab coffee, tacos, BBQ or a beer to talk about what you have going on. I'm also taking band recommendations, so if you have an artist you think I should check out while in town, let me know - jon@broadtime.com! 

One thing's for sure, I won't be missing this extra special panel of badass women...

We're also building out profiles on all our great indie store partners that we're putting on the Broadtime site and sharing in our weekly newsletter to record labels. More on how you can help us spotlight you and your store is below. 

We also have our weekly list of new featured preorders, what's streeting this week, plus social assets for you to use on your social channels and items currently blocked for preorder (several new blocks on this list this week).

We're always here to help answer any questions you have or to assist in any way - support@broadtime.com


Stay safe! Music matters!
Jon and the Broadtime team

Store Questionnaire: Help us tell your story ✍️

We are so proud to work with so many terrific indie store owners across the country. This year, we're making a concerted effort to develop brief bios on each of our partner stores. These stories are posted on Broadtime.com, and we're also including one per week in our newsletter that goes to over 200 record label executives. 

We feel it’s important to spotlight great indie retailers like you to key decision-makers at the labels as well as anyone visiting our website.

You can see examples of the profiles we've done so far this year on our homepage

If each of you could take five quick minutes to fill out this questionnaire (six very short questions) it would help us tremendously in our effort to gather info and properly tell your story.

Reminder: Panic Bump 📅


Miss Kitty's Lounge from Widespread Panic was due to arrive last week (Friday, March 4), but we received late word that the street date has been moved to May 20. If you have orders for this title, you may want to reach out to the customers to let them know of the change.
