On March 8th and 9th of 2008, hundreds of established and upcoming producers will descend upon Phoenix, Arizona, to attend the annual One Stop Shop producer's conference, masterminded by Sha Money XL's production and artist management company, Money Management Group. The conference will feature top industry professionals, platinum track making producers, and new technology trends from companies like Microsoft, M Audio, and Traxxpad. It will also include an itinerary filled, video game tournaments, after parties hosted by NYC's most noted DJs, and the infamous One Stop Shop Beat Battle. and most importantly the industry workshops/panels.
This year OSS features The Microsoft Technology Panel hosted by Arif Gursel, a software test engineer in the Microsoft XBOX team as well as The Power Management Panel which features Gee Roberson, Derick Jackson, Bernard Parks, Ryan Press and more. The 2008 One Stop Shop also boasts a Tastemaker Panel and a New Producer Panel; so it isn't surprising that this conference has captured the excitement of producers that have constantly saturated the music game with their talent. "This is the conference for those that are serious about making real moves in the industry... You gotta love it!" - from Kanye West's mentor, NO I.D.

Firstly ClubClass resident Nic Fanciulli caps off an excellent year by re-entering the chart at number 45. His ‘One + One’ world tour and compilation CDs has won huge acclaim from clubbers, promoters and music press alike resulting in him returning to the chart at his best position ever. Nic is joined by our favourite Frenchmen Sebastien Leger who enters the chart at number 93. Sebastien has spent much of 2007 working on his studio project titled ‘Planets’ in between playing the very finest underground clubs on the planet. Congratulations must go to both Nic and Seb for this tremendous achievement. And with the forces of Mojo, Wooly and Santiago continuing to do the business both on and off the decks we’re confident we’ll be adding to that list come 2008!!

Business Marketing and Advertising: When Advertising can be the Wrong Strategy for the Small Business
In business marketing, most people think that advertising is something they ought to be doing. Indeed, many books and articles on marketing and sales tell you so.
But advertising is not the Holy Grail of selling. And for the small business, it can sometimes be the wrong strategy entirely. What's more, there are plenty of alternative strategies you can use that could prove more productive.

Digital tax could save the music industry from itself

Digital tax could save the music industry from itself
| In the last few years, the music industry has combated tumbling revenue by suing costumers, decimating artist rosters and laying off thousands of employees. That's not a business plan. That's the sound of the Titanic slipping under the waves. But in the last few days, one important segment of the music industry actually came up with a rescue strategy that didn't smack of panic, malice or desperation. The Songwriters Association of Canada is proposing a $5-a-month licensing fee on every wireless and Internet account in the country, in exchange for unlimited access to all recorded music. |

Everything You Need To Know
About Word of Mouth Marketing
by Andy Sernovitz
Okay. Here’s the quick version. Everything you wanted to know about word of mouth marketing but were afraid to ask. It all comes down to this:
Happy customers are your best advertisers.
If people like you and like what you do, they will tell their friends.
Lesson 1: The Definition Of Word Of Mouth Marketing
Word of Mouth Marketing is a) giving people a reason to talk about you and b) making it easier for the conversation to take place.
It's C to C Marketing—when a consumer tells a consumer about you. Actually, it’s B to C to C. When it comes out of the mouth of a marketer, it’s marketing. When a real person repeats it, it’s word of mouth.
It’s more than just marketing—it’s also product design and customer service. People talk about fantastic stuff and great treatment from companies they like.
Lesson 2: The Four Rules of Word of Mouth
Rule #1: Be Interesting
Nobody talks about boring companies, boring products, boring ads. Everyone can be interesting. Before you run an ad, before you launch a product, ask your spouse about it. Trust me…if he or she finds it interesting, you’ve got a winner.
Rule #2: Make People Happy
Create amazing products. Provide excellent service. Go the extra mile. Make sure the work you do gets people energized, excited, and eager to tell a friend.
Rule #3: Earn Trust And Respect
Nobody talks about a company that they don’t trust or don’t like. Earn the respect of your customers. Be good to them. Talk to them. Honor their intelligence. Fulfill their needs. Stay honest. Every company can be nicer, and every one of us can work to make our company a little better to its customers.
Rule #4: Make It Easy
Find a simple topic that is easy to repeat. Not your formal brand statement, not your product description. Forget elevator pitch…it’s the pass-in-the-hall test. What can people tell a friend about you in one sentence?
Then do everything you can to make it easy to share that topic. Use tell-a-friend forms on your web site. Put it in an email. Pass out flyers. Blog it. Stick it on a t-shirt.
Lesson 3: The Three Reasons People Talk About You
Reason #1: You. They Like You and Your Stuff.
They like you. They feel a connection to your company, they respect what you do, and they want to support you. So they bring their friends. People feel driven to share things they like with their friends, so their friends can enjoy them too. Create great products and services that inspire them. (Think about TiVo, the best album ever, the best cookie you ever ate, or the spot remover that actually works.)
Be likeable. Make great stuff. Provide great service.
Reason #2: Them. Talking Makes Them Feel Good
People talk because it makes them feel special, smart, connected, in the know, and important. (Think about the restaurant guy, the what's-on-sale maven, the computer guru.) People also feel good when they can help others find what they need or solve problems. (Think about the guy who always knows which contractor to call or which car to buy.)
Provide reasons to talk that make your talkers feel smart and special.
Reason #3: Us. They Feel Connected to the Group
Talking about a company and being passionate about it makes us feel like part of a family. We talk about it because it makes us feel included on the team. (Think about Harley owners, Apple junkies, sports fans, and anyone who loves a great band.)
Rally the team. Give them shirts, private discussion groups, special events, and public recognition.
Lesson 4: Making it happen — The Five Ts of Word of Mouth Marketing
Talkers: Find The People Who Like To Talk
Are they your customers? Neighborhood moms? Doctors? Bloggers? Think about the people who are most likely to tell a friend about what you are doing. Make sure they know about your new topic of conversation.
Topics: Give Them a Reason to Talk
Give people a reason to talk about you. It doesn’t need to be fancy. A special sale, good service, a neat new feature, a better flavor, a funny package. (Remember the Gateway computers that came in cow-patterned boxes?)
Tools: Help the Message Spread Faster and Farther
Do everything you can to make it easy for talkers to pass along your topic. Include postcards and stickers in the box when you ship a package. Put up a chat room so people can talk to each other. Join a blog conversation. Hand out samples. (Did you ever get one of those emails with a “secret” coupon that was supposedly for employees only? Did you forward it?)
Taking Part: Join The Conversation
Conversations die out when there’s only one person talking. When people are talking about you, answer them. Reply to their email. Comment on blogs that write about you. Send a lot of thank-you notes.
Tracking: Measure and Understand What People are Saying
The word of mouth conversation is the best feedback you’re ever going to get. It’s far better than any other kind of market research, because it is the authentic voice of the consumer. Hear what people are saying, learn from it, and use it to be a better company.
Your Homework
Ask yourself why anyone would talk about your stuff.
Do something worth talking about.
Search the blogs to find out who is talking about you.
Join the conversation.

I want you to pass this article on. It's one of the best ways to generate word of mouth. You can post, copy, forward, or share this article with anyone you want, as much as you want. But you need to follow the rules: 1) Don't change it, 2) Give author credit to Andy Sernovitz, 3) Mention that it comes from the book Word of Mouth Marketing: How Smart Companies Get People Talking, and 4) Link to http://www.wordofmouthbook.com.
