Features of the Service
The CAN website is Australia’s biggest retail and distribution
service exclusively for independent artists. You will be
able to add information about you act to the CAN database including
a bio, publicity photo, and details on all your releases . The CAN
then distributes the database to a series on online retail partners
giving you access to mainstream online retail without a traditional
distribution deal. People can purchase your CDs through secure online ordering services
provided by the retailers at any time of the day, anywhere in the world.Your act will be given a unique URL
(e.g www.thecan.com.au/thesluggers). The URL will direct traffic to your
info on our retail partner websites. This is particularly useful if you do not already have a website as it
can be used to direct customers straight to your personal artist page on
The CAN. If you do have a Website already your account at The
CAN will add online retail and fulfilment capability through its retail
partners. By including
your CAN web address on your promotional material like posters,
flyers, media releases, business cards and mentioning it at gigs and
interviews, you can be sure your fans will always be able to find (and
buy) your music. This can also save you a lot of money on sending out
demos and bios - direct A&R straight to your page!
Once you join The CAN you can send us updates and new releases and we
will add them to the system for distribution.
The CAN has established relationships with a number of reputable
legal download retailers. By joining the CAN you now also receive
representation for your music into the maze of international download
opportunities. The CAN only deals with retailers using proven
secure formats. As always at the CAN, members are providing only
non exclusive rights over their music so you are not restricted from
selling your music through other venues.
