PassAlong Networks and Signifi Partner to Bring Millions of New Music Titles and the 'On Demand Digital Content Experience' to Consumers at Retail Stores
Posted on: Thursday, 31 January 2008, 09:00 CST
Media distribution developer PassAlong Networks(TM) today announced a partnership with Signifi Solutions Inc.(TM), developers of Digital Kiosk Solutions, including QuickTUNES(TM) for digital music at retail, to bring the 'digital content experience' to retail stores. The partnership combines the powerful Signifi QuickTUNES retail music solution and PassAlong's deep catalog of licensed content.
"We are excited to partner with Signifi to bring our content to retail stores and a new category of consumers," said Dave Jaworski, co-founder and CEO of PassAlong Networks. "At PassAlong we are major proponents of the concept of a Connected Consumer(TM) ecosystem, and the extension of the digital content experience into retail is a major step towards building and enhancing the Connected Consumer experience."
The Signifi and PassAlong digital content solution goes beyond a simple preview and listening station to provide a complete, end-to-end music solution. The retailer now has access to a seamless music offering in-store and online that harnesses the power of cross promotion.
Consumers can choose from PassAlong's catalog of more than 3 million songs and by using an intuitive user interface, they can browse, select and buy mixed content and full albums and then download the content to their device or create a custom printed CD with attractive labeling. The same content is available for downloads online.
Retailers can offer this experience to their consumers in-store without taking up valuable space within the store or committing to large inventories while also offering a complementary online experience as a download store.
"For the past two years Signifi has been developing and deploying on-demand music content solutions to retailers throughout North America," said Shamira Jaffer, President of Signifi Solutions Inc. "This new partnership with PassAlong Networks will greatly enhance our content management engine. Our joint solution now offers an unparalleled music catalog powered by the best search and selection engine in the market -- creating a compelling solution for both consumers and retailers."
Signifi Solutions and PassAlong Networks are expanding their partnership to include other forms of digital media within this combined solution, including video and gaming content.
