I ordered a CD, and received this e-mail...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Tuesday, July 31st.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!



I wonder if they're sending me the satin pillow, too... :rofl:

[PeaceNikki]

1. I loooooove cdbaby!!

Their emails (and products) are fantastic! :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. I wonder how they got my picture...

:D

[mopinko]

2. pretty good.

i never thought of smart ass emails as a marketing tactic. opens up a whole universe for me. thanks.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. It stands to reason that a well-thought reply can make customers come back.

I haven't received the CD yet; but if it's in the promised condition, I'll probably check out their other merchandise. :hi:

[mopinko]

6. yup, obvious

once someone points it out.

[FloridaJudy]

5. CD Baby, of course!

Love their E-mails. Unfortunately you don't get the satin pillow (or the gold-lined box), just great CDs at a fair price.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Works for me...

I was impressed with the price...brand new cd = $14

But I bought the cd just because it's by Stan Roger's son, Nathan. He has his dad's rich baritone; but his songs are quite varied in style. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole cd! :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. I got the same thing a few months ago

Nobody likes a clever dick. x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. I like it...

even if it IS bullshit! :rofl:

[PeaceNikki]

10. I feel the same way.

I fell in love with them as a company.

[InternalDialogue]

11. And it's not just their service -- it's that they provide a great outlet for indie artists

And when you've ordered a few things from them, they'll start throwing in freebies with your order.

Great company, great service.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Ok...This is sounding sweeter....

I love freebies! :bounce:

[hippywife]

13. They really do have

great service. I never have any qualms about ordering from there at all. The last time I ordered was on a Sunday and the CD arrived on Tuesday and I'm very far away from them.

Really great little outlet for the indie artists!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. That's good to know...

I have a friend who's trying to promote her jazz violin cds. I think I'll suggest that she look into this company!

[hippywife]

26. I just sent you a PM. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Hold out for the gold-lined box

Gold's trading at $663 per oz.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Really!

If they don't send the box they promised, I'll send it back! :rofl:

[Parche]

16. CD

Is it Pink Floyd??? :hi:

18. Reminds me of the messages on Screaming Yellow Zonkers.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. I've never heard of that one...

Is it a website?

[Vidar]

25. A Cracker Jack like junk food which is still availabe in

convenience stores, but I think they dropped the hilarious commentary from their boxes.

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. That's great!

A friend sells his music there. Looks like he picked a good place to do biz with!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. I just looked to see if my friend sold her cds there...

http://cdbaby.com/cd/susanjones
...and she does!

Your friend's stuff is definitely different! Cool!

[Dukkha]

20. I sell on CD Baby

me: http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=renzetti

I recently rstocked some CDs and they sent me an email that ended with "We Love You" love their service as a distributor.

and thank you for supporting an unsigned artist :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. Absolutely!

If I ever get around to recording myself, I'll know where to look for a distributer!

Thanks for the info!

I listened to some clips from Remnants of Zen...Nice work!

[Dukkha]

27. thanks

It means a lot to have a CD sold as opposed to iTunes downloads. So much effort is put into making it sound nice and a lot is lost on mp3s As Andrea Corr of The Corrs said "I don't download - I can't get my iPod to get the volume the way I'd like it and when you're a musician you spend so much time making a quality record and it gets compressed to sound like it does on an iPod. There's nothing like the physicality of going out and buying an album." my newest CD coming close to completion is being recorded on high resolution digital with analog tube dynamic processing. So far it's been a big difference in quality. I hope someday soon to get my stuff pressed onto vinyl for myself.

28. CD baby kicks ass!
