Greetings everyone, 

Hope you're all having a great week. 

You have maybe noticed a new feature we implemented across your websites this week - animated covers of select titles, which we feel will make a big impact on sales. More details are below. 

Don't forget, we also equip you with a bevy of content you can use on your own social media channels to help promote various titles and drive sales.

As always, we have a list of newly featured preorders and titles we're currently blocking across our sites, too. 

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


Stay safe! Music matters!

Introducing Animated Album Covers 🎵

We're really excited to implement a new feature that we are confident will make a tremendous impact on sales and customers.

We have now enabled animated album covers of select releases across your websites under preorder and featured titles, as well as on the product page for the albums that have animations. These animations immediately draw your eye to the cover and catch the attention of music fans perusing your websites, which we feel should deliver maximum impact. 

If you haven't noticed already, venture to your store's homepage and see if you can pick out the albums with motion in the list of Preorder and Featured titles.
