Give your customers a promo music card that's fully customized

If you want customers, clients or employees to go to a website that's branded with your company's logo and information, it's easy to accomplish. There are many businesses that do all the work for you, and they do it for just $2 to $4 per card, depending on how many you order.

I recommend: Sterling Regency Promotions offers custom promotional music download card products, with branded websites available. Act III Promotional Products offers a similar service for music downloads, plus many other types of download cards.

Select downloadable music cards from big name websites

One way to give clients or employees music download cards from music sites they already know is to buy standard gift cards. Gift cards can generally be purchased for $15, $25, $50 or $100 each. Another options available from some websites is the purchase of codes that may be placed on your own gift cards; prices for these codes are generally similar to gift card prices, but usually a quantity discount is available.

I recommend: Perhaps the most popular music download site on the web is iTunes; it offers both standard gift cards and custom codes that may be added to your own download cards. Amazon.com offers several types of downloadable options, including standard gift cards in bulk or codes you may purchase for your own gift cards.

Choose promo music download cards offering choices

Download cards may also offer options for such things as cell phone ringtones, movie ticket downloads and photo development. Generally, these customizable cards cost about $3 to $5, depending upon quantities ordered and the type of product available for download.

I recommend: Absorbent, Ink. offers custom promotional music download cards and ringtone cards. USA Plastic Cards sells download cards that may be redeemed for your client or employee's choice of music, ringtones or free long distance minutes.

Music download cards are a great promotional item for the next generation of employees and clients who use portable music devices. Promotional music download cards are intuitive and easy to use for anyone familiar with mp3 music technology.

Promotional music cards not only give your clients or employees an item they'll love to use, but they also allow people to choose the songs they download from a list of thousands of options. Promo music cards are a great choice for broadening your company's popularity among both kids and adults.

When shopping for promotional music cards, consider the following:

1. Select a promo music card with the number of songs you want to offer.

2. Consider promotional music cards or other options for partnering directly with a well known company.

3. Get all-in-one cards or music download cards with custom specifications for even more options.

Choose the number of songs for your downloadable music cards

Promotional music cards can be issued in 1-, 2- or 3-song cards. All cards have space for your logo and whatever images you want to use on the front of the card, and you can get them with the number of promotional music downloads you choose.

I recommend: Get a single song download card from Far From Boring Promotions, or choose a card with one song, two songs or three songs from ePromos. All of the promotional music cards have the same space and options for custom designs, so the only thing that varies is the number of songs it can be used to download.

Consider promotional music download cards that partner with a well-known company

Some businesses choose to partner directly with iTunes or another company when purchasing promotional music download cards. These partnerships can be advantageous because the big name of the music company alone can draw customers to your business.

I recommend: Partner with iTunes or another company such as eMusic for more options when getting promotional music cards or other music-related promotions. Companies such as iTunes that have become involved in corporate partnerships may offer a wider range of options for your promotion.

Look at promotional music download cards that offer other services

Some promotional music cards include not only music downloads, but also feature uses as a phone card or other type of gift card. When buying promotional music gift cards, consider options with multiple uses for a client group that may or may not get excited about a promo music card.

I recommend: All-in-one cards like those from USA Plastic Cards are promotional music download cards that offer music downloads and one or two other promotional gift options all on the same logo-customized card. You can also try custom promotional music download cards from Four Aces for a card with custom specifications, including the number of songs and the gift options on the card.
