Recommended Vendor - Kelley Market

We have been working with a company called Kelley’s Market for the past year and a half. Kelley’s Market provides retail support for your priority releases. They deal with a vast network of retail stores and it is their mission to inform store buyers of your titles as well as set up Listening stations and Price and Positioning for your releases. I highly recommend working with Kelley’s Market when you have a new release(s) coming out or if you have a band doing a great tour. Kevin at Kelley’s Market used to work for Koch Distribution and Kelley of Kelley’s Market used to work at Initial Records for years. Their combined experience and incredible work ethic has been a great addition to our own efforts. A typical campaign finds them calling a couple hundred indie stores and then giving you a spreadsheet of stores to send promos and posters to. They also set up listening stations both discretionary and for clean product trades. I can’t say enough great things about these guys and if this is something you can use help with, email Kevin or Kelley.
