Go Distro has partnered with Universal Premedia Services
to provide you affordable, digital booklets and album
covers. For less than $75 (U.S. dollars, offer available
worldwide), you can work with Universal Premedia
Services to create a .PDF booklet along with an album
cover.
What does a .PDF booklet do for me?
- Digital booklets are an incentive to purchase a
full-length album and a useful tool for sending to
publishers, writers, critics, marketers, retailers
and more.
- GoDistronow offers the ability for you to
create a digital booklet even if you have no
packaging for a physical equivalent!
- It's an easy way to create with control: you
provide 1,200 words of copy and 3 to 8 photos, then
choose from one of 4 pre-formatted templates. We do
the rest!
What will it look like?
Here are examples of the four different design
options. Click to view/download these .PDF files:
IMPORTANT: GoDistro Digital
Booklets are accepted at iTunes. They will be available
only to those who purchase the entire album or who use
Complete My Album (CMA) option. If your album has fewer
than 10 songs, including a .PDF booklet may cause iTunes
to set the price of your entire album to the maximum.
How does it work?
- Pick one of the four styles that we have
available (we'll email you the choices).
- Background colors are black, white or a
complimentary color.
- Send payment to Universal Premedia Services, who
will contact you via email one business day from
receipt.
- In this email, you will receive detailed
instructions on how to upload your images via our
Internet Gateway and what format files to deliver.
- Once we receive your properly formatted files,
turnaround is two business days. If you have any
additional questions, write
janeackerman@godistro.com
