WE DON’T SELL CARDS, WE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES
SoundLoad Music is a new platform that is designed to help bridge the gap between the physical
and digital world. As the old business model continues to disappear, SoundLoad Music is empow-
ering independent artists and labels by providing them with an opportunity to level the playing
field. With a long-term vision of moving the music business forward in a positive direction, we will
make every effort to improve and fully develop the relationship between the artist and consumer.



MAKE YOUR MUSIC WORK AS HARD AS YOU DO
 SoundLoad Music offers an innovative and cost effective solution to delivering, reporting, and
tracking digital content. Our most popular product is the customized SoundLoad card, a tool used
to drive consumers to a pre-determined destination on the Internet. When redeemed, the cards
hold value to the consumer and enable you to build your brand and overall identity on the
Worldwide Web.

More importantly, every time someone redeems one of your SoundLoad cards, it will officially
count as the sale of (1) album or single. Your sales will be tracked by the same source that tracks
and monitors the billboard music charts. In addition to reporting sales, the redemption process
also collects valuable demographic information (i.e. email addresses, gender, zip code, etc.) at
the time the consumer redeems the card. The back-end data collected is property of the
account holder and can be viewed by them at any time.
THE REDEMPTION PROCESS




          The front of the card will display your artwork and will instruct fans to
          redeem the card at YOUR website or MySpace page.

          When the consumer gets to YOUR website they click on an icon (which
          we provide) that says “Redeem Your SoundLoad Card Here”, which
          then directs them to a generic redemption page.
          Here they will scratch off and enter in the secure pin number (found on
          the back of the card) along with a few pieces of information, such as
          their e-mail address, gender, and zip code. This way you are building a
          database of valuable information on your fans. Once the redemption
          page is complete, the material attached to that card is instantly down-
          loaded to their computer. Consumers are then free
          to do whatever they want with the material. They can burn a CD, use
          as a ring tone, or download it to their iPod or MP3 player.




           ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CAN BE DOWNLOADED
           FROM YOUR SOUNDLOAD MUSIC CARD:

          -Full Length Albums (up to 30 Tracks)
          -Printable Coupons
          -A Single (up to 3 Tracks)
          -Exclusive Content
          -High Quality Video Content
          -Album Artwork & Credits
          -Ring Tones
          -Electronic Press Kits
          -Wallpapers
          -Any Form of Media
BENEFITS

           COST EFFECTIVE:
            After production, recording, promotion, and distribution are paid for, most CDs will NEVER sell
           enough to cover all of these costs, let alone make a profit. Priced at ONLY $.35 cents per card,
           SoundLoad Music cards are much cheaper to manufacture and ship than CDs.

           CONVENIENT:
           SoundLoad Music cards are much easier for you to travel with since they weigh far less than
           old fashion CDs. Plus they are much more convenient for your fans to carry home with at the
           end of the night as they are sized to easily fit into wallets, pockets, and purses. All MP3’s
           attached to the cards are D.R.M.-free downloads. Consumers will not be required to sign up
           for an account on the SoundLoad Music website to redeem their card. Additionally, they are
           not bombarded with advertisements or spam, nor are they allowed access to our other client’s
           promotions.

           CO-BRANDING OPPORTUNITIES:
           Record labels, artists, and marketing companies can profit by creating strategic marketing
           alliances and co-branding opportunities with public corporations and private companies. A
           successful co-branding venture should ultimately benefit the partners, as well as the consumer.
           The artist benefits by being able to leverage the corporation’s wealth and already well-known
           brand to increase their exposure and build relationships with fans. The corporation benefits by
           tapping into the artist’s audience base and gains valuable information regarding a target
           market, which can be used in future marketing campaigns, and the consumer benefits by
           receiving real value from the card itself.

            CONNECT WITH YOUR FANS:
            You are driving traffic to your website. The front of your cards will include your website or
            MySpace address and they are customized to look the way you want them to look. They
            enable a physical product to be put into consumer’s hands. Rather than taking a chance fans
            will remember a web address or how to spell your name when they are back in front of a
            computer, SoundLoad Music cards are saved by the consumer and act as a “vehicle” to
            “drive” them to your MySpace or website. They can also be marketed with special items that
            cannot be found on a compact disc.

            COUNT YOUR SALES:
            None of the CDs that you sell count for a SoundScan, unless the outlet selling them has a
            barcode scanner and is an authorized SoundScan retailer. Every time someone redeems one
            of your SoundLoad Music cards (with a unique pin number on each) the material will be Sound
            Scanned and will count as the sale of (1) album or single. Your sales will be tracked by the
            same source that tracks and monitors the Billboard music charts. For more information visit
            www.soundscan.com.

            COLLECT VALUABLE BACK END DATA.
            For the first time ever, musicians can know who they’re fans are. The redemption process and
            software allows you to collect valuable customer information (for example: fans email
            addresses, age, gender, and zip code). With your SoundLoad Music order we give you access
            to view the demographic information from every person who downloads your card making it
            much easier for you to stay connected to your fans.

COUNT YOUR SALES: None of the CDs that you sell count for a SoundScan, unless the outlet selling them has a barcode scanner and is an authorized SoundScan retailer. Every time someone redeems one of your SoundLoad Music cards (with a unique pin number on each) the material will be Sound Scanned and will count as the sale of (1) album or single. Your sales will be tracked by the same source that tracks and monitors the Billboard music charts. For more information visit www.soundscan.com. COLLECT VALUABLE BACK END DATA. For the first time ever, musicians can know who they’re fans are. The redemption process and software allows you to collect valuable customer information (for example: fans email addresses, age, gender, and zip code). With your SoundLoad Music order we give you access to view the demographic information from every person who downloads your card making it much easier for you to stay connected to your fans.
