well, if you hand someone a CD at the door at entry there is a good chance it'll be kept aside, no one wants to dance with a plastic case eating into their thigh.

other option will be to have stalls like mentioned here. don't shoot, but from my experience, it wont even pay for your stall setup and cost of keeping someone behind the counter through the event.

if you're looking to promote music at a party best option is to make a dedicated digital download location and then hand out visiting card sized promos with the download links. a bit more expensive option would be to give or sell pen-drives, but that too is not something that has seen much international success.

nice thought but it's something that all genres of music face so things not going to change just because of EDM. t-shirts on the other hand tend to work better so maybe try giving a free release with each shirt?

Great idea but I say this without trying to be negative of the initiative but ... This has been tried and tested out by some of the leading record labels here. They hardly managed to sell any if at all. At parties ppl tend to save money for entry, drinks etc etc etc ... They usually try to buy them cds with cash that's not been spent at the end of the night.           Love n Light

Hello
Thanks everyone for sharing your views on this subject.

I understand that folks like to save money for entry, drinks etc.

The best way I can see is not giving cds at the entry for sure. Yidam make some valid points regarding this subject.
-----------------------------

@ Yidam : I like your ideas for promotion but this discussion is about getting original cds to music freaks and to support labels.

-----------------------------
There has to be a way make cds part of the cover charge. Either buy a drink for 500 or take home a new release. Not everyone likes to drink all the time

As for logistics, that I feel should be decided with the event's management.

if you're looking at it that way give a coupon for a free CD at the door, then pickup can be either at the exit at the end of the event or via the webshop (coupon code)

the reason for not handing it out at the entrance is you might find a bunch of broken CDs at the end of the party & it's not a good feeling. Always make people appreciate the value of the CD, even if they're getting it for free... that is the essence of what drives you to collect.

Yes
Handing Cds out on the way out is the way to go in my opinion as well.

K this could be optional inside the venue maybe on the bar ...

Webshop(coupon code) is the best idea i think, save the trees as well...good one yidam baba...
