Consignment CD Sale Program</h2>
Often I'm asked, "How can I get my CD into the Forum catalog?" In the past, I have always decided which CDs to carry, bought a stock of them at a wholesale price, put them in the catalog and waited for orders. As a result, I now have shelves full of unsold CDs, and people are still asking "How can I get my CD into the Forum catalog?"
To meet this demand, and to make a bit of profit for the Forum, I've come up with a plan that would allow Forum members to send CDs on consignment to the Forum. I'll add them to the catalog and write checks to all of the participants every 3 months.
The Forum will pay $6.50 for each CD-R and $7.50 for each pressed CD sold. The catalog price for consignment CD-R's will be $13.00, and the price for pressed CDs will be $15.00.
You must be a Forum member to participate in this program, and your CD must contain mostly steel guitar instrumentals. To get your CD or CD-R into the forum catalog, put together a package to the Forum containing the following:
<ul>[*]Ten units of the CD or CD-R for consignment sale[*]A floppy disk containing, in plain text (Notepad) format:<ol>[*]the advertising copy for the catalog (a short "review")[*]the song list[*]the name and address where the check will be sent[*]Your email address[*]Optional: a 192x192 JPG scan of the cover[/list][*]Please include your name and email address on the floppy disk label[/list]
Mail the package to the Forum's mailing address:
<address>
The Steel Guitar Forum
148 S. Cloverdale Blvd.
Cloverdale, CA 95425
</address>
At the end of each calendar quarter, you will receive a check from the Steel Guitar Forum. If stock of your CD is running low, I will send you a purchase order for more units to sell on consignment.
In the event that the consignment program is terminated, or if you wish to withdraw from the program, your unsold CDs or CD-Rs will be returned to you.
This is a way to get your music out there, and help the Forum at the same time. We don't sell a lot of CDs - this is a very small market - but every sale helps.
