WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT QUINN RECORDS TM'S RECORD PROMOTIONS

by Dwight L. Quinn
10-21-2013

Our Promotion Department, headed by Ronald Rayford a.k.a Ron Ray is busier than a  bear with a sweet tooth, being chased by a swam of mad honey bees, he's on the move.The Promotion Department is key to our business. Because when Ron is successful in securing airplay for our records, than our Marketing Plan comes alive.

The Promotion Department is working several releases for the label today,that is doing rather well.They are targeted to Radio,s  Blues n' Soul Music Shows both domestic and international those projects are, GO SLOW-Blues Crossing, " The Soul of A Man by KL&R2," " Keep On Keeping, by James Gilbert. We have a great sound being released into the Blues n' Soul Marketplace this fall/winter period and we're all excited and elated about the already  positive feedback the we are getting from industry movers and shakers.
The songs that are getting most of the industry M&S's buzz  are James Gilberts,"Blues This Morning," Osee Anderson's,"Breaking Up Somebodys Home," KL&R2's,"I Got My Swag On" and Mississippi Red's,"Send Me Some To Love". Quinn is already entering into two non-exclusive Master License Deals with two international Music companies for the territories of India and Spain.

Competition is heavy, record labels, big and small, are releasing several hundred CDs each and every week. And the Radio stations are over-whammed with these records. So when Ron get one of  our songs added to the Radio stations playlists this is an outstanding victory.
A “playlist” is a list of songs a station plays and the playlist is created every week or so  by the station’s Music Director. Ron gets real passionate with his sales pitch to MD's, Pd's and Djs when he's communicating a Quinn Records TM recording it gets us a chance to be heard by the radio station’s Music and Program Directors.

Just like sales people our Ron don't let any grass grow under his feet. Ron is always pitching a Quinn Records TM recording may it be a blues, a gospel, a jazz or a soul project it doen't matters. If you’ve ever had any experience selling anything, then you know how important enthusiasm and a positive attitude are in convincing potential customers to buy your product. Our Promo Rep is just that way he stays  in a positive, upbeat and motivated frame of mind. He know that, this is an important element in the music business. And,
Ron knows also, that we’re not the only label releasing new music every week, and that radio stations can only play a few of these new songs at a time so,it's not personal, it's just business as usual .

Promotion at Quinn Records TM goe's a bit further than  describing the work done by Ron to get radio airplay for our releases.
The Promo Rep” is the companies breathing apparatus,pitch man,the spokes person who present the label’s new releases to radio stations with the intent to build a relationship that would allow us to place products that would both provide entertainment to the exsisting listeners as well as attract new listeners by playing the songs the we selects for promotion.
Quinn Records TM rely on it's Promo Rep. to  decide very carefully what specific songs from an artist's new record would most likely fit the radio station’s format and attract the listener’s attention.

Keeping the human-element alive, well and active in our Record Promotion  Progam is still the number one strategy  used  in our Record Promotional planning. It's nothing more powerful and enjoyable than visiting the Stations face-to-face and learning just what the Market is really like from a birds-eye view. We do every thing possible to make sure face-to face contact with the Radio Station stays our utmost priority.

To add even more  convenience for the commercial customer in our Record Promotion Program, we created an online page at our website,that's dedicated to the Radio MD's.PD,s, DJ's, Press and Retail  commercial customer where they can go 24/7 and request any Promo Copy that they want and Ron will send it out to them asap. All they do is go to our website, login set up an account, than go to the  Radio,Press,Retail link and order. The CD is free and we ship it free.

The Promotion Department is the arm of the company that makes sure that our records are at the Radio Stations that we service, and are available for airplay.

RECORD LABELS, MUSIC LABELS, LABELS: JUST WHAT ARE LABELS?

by Dwight L. Quinn
(10-18-2013)

Quinn Records TM like other record companies, sell pre-recorded music under an assumed name.

The label in itself is a brand: a name,symbol,logo, a trade mark, a sign, an image or words . The Major record companies use's  many different labels at any one time. The labels are used as,"identifiers"to help record buyers tell where a record come from and/or what kind of musical content it offers, with just a glance and without even hearing it. Record companies go to great length in  protecting their labels.

Lets face the facts, there is no point in owning a label and promoting it, if it can't be differentciated from other Labels, or if someone else uses it without consent. So if and when a Label is created without a clear understanding of its' purpose i.e. the lack of understanding branding, than failure is  the path this Label is on.
Labels that are well managed , can get a reputation for quality,musical style, genre that are both popular and/or niched, this invaluable recognition in itself sets a path that enhances,builds and clearly identifies the directional approach for its marketing.

Quinn Records TM label is a perfect example of a label that managed to define its musical style so powerfully that the record-buying public can more or less tell what they will get as soon as they see a Quinn Records TM label on the record. The label identification is so strong that when the company decided to release pop or classical recordings, it has to create another label to place these new recordings on.
.
Labels in other genres of music have been successful in defining themselves by their labels too.No one would expect Alligator Records to release rap and hip hop any more than Malaco would release chamber music.
Any potential buyer looking at a record on the Quinn Records TM label would know the recording’s musical genre.

A successful label helps to sell records.  It invest a large percentage of  it's dollars in promoting the artist(s) on  it's Label. Labels with an active touring artist selling out venues will see record sale numbers increase as the artist grows in popularity within the Marketplace..
This is largely the reason why when record buyers go to purchase a recording they idenify the record with it's title, artist name or both. Rarely do they (the record buyers) buy a record using a Label name.

The Label is one of the most valuable assets an Independent can acquire, next to the master recordings.
SO,JUST WHAT ARE  LABELS? Well, they're just a,"Brand".

QUINN RECORDS TM RELEASES NEW ALBUM ON NOVEMBER 5 THE BEST OF OLIVER JOHNSON

by Dwight L. Quinn
09/29/2013


Two time Sodexho Award-winning blues/soul/jazz trumpeter Oliver Johnson is  one of the most proliferated trumpet greats of all time....Oliver, known as the guy who brought the trumpet to Soul." On November 5, 2013 Quinn Records TM will release The Best of Oliver Johnson, a rocking collection of Oliver's top tunes  celebrating Oliver's six years as an international blues/soul/jazz recording artist and a professional musical experience that started  at age seven. Recorded in Centreville, Illinois and produced by Quinn Records TM producer/ songwriter/ label owner,Dwight L. Quinn the album is a mix of blues and soul sounds that allowed Oliver to stretch his thundering-trumpet solo's to all time highs.

Oliver wrote,You Make Me Sing The Blues track, Quinn wrote five additional tracks and the album was topped with four covers. The songs were collected from Oliver's best-sellers. The Best of Oliver Johnson will bring Oliver's discography to nine albums,since signing with Quinn Records TM in 2004.

 Making up the core of Oliver's Nite Train band on the CD are Benton (drums), Henry Taylor
(guitar), Oliver (keyboards), Nephew Davis (bass), Oliver (Trumpet). Oswald Peters and Julio each add guitar to three tracks. Oliver, who vocal duties are to wam-bam the audience, was inspired by the sessions to monorate in the songs, something that ole band musician use to do, talk to the audience and/or the band members while the song is in play, singing If You Repay Evil For Good,Oliver would break out and direct his Nite Train Band and shout out to whoever is listening that it's hot up in here, making The Best of Oliver Johnson the most personal, free-jamming and just plain fun recording of  his nearly four-decade career.

According to Oliver, "I have a personal attachment to the music in this album. Mr. Harry Turner my music teacher while in high school would always reminded me that music is about feeling -- And I don't ever forget that".
My hope is that everyone who listens to,The Best of Oliver Johnson feels it. I know that I sure did!" Oliver  is signed with the prestigious LA De Da Entertainment and Events in St. Louis and he will be touring nationally in support of the album.

Oliver's history is proof that dreams do come true. Oliver at age six, began his study as a vocalist with his mother,Roberta Johnson of Uttica Mississippi. Roberta, who was a gospel church singer, also introduced Oliver to the music of performers like Louis Armstrong and Nancy Wilson. When Oliver was eight years old, a famous jazz organist Tabb Smith and his groups use to rehearse in Oliver's home. At ten years old, Oliver started the study of the trumpet with Mr. Harry Turner of the Count Basie Band.

Oliver's first professional performances at thirteen, started at the Cosmo Hall in East St. Louis that featured regular acts like Ike Turner, Johnny Johnson, Chuck Berry, Little Milton and Albert King.
After high school Oliver started touring with Waestmoreland, Inc. The Band that eventually became Albert King's Band included Motown-Recording regulars like, Tyrone Perry and Paul Jackson. For twelve years (12) Oliver toured throughout UK and Japan playing trumpet and singing with Mel and Tim (Backfield In Motion), Joe Tex (Skinny Leg's and All), Shirley Brown (Woman to Woman), Albert King (Born Under A Bad Sign), Gladys Knight & The Pips, Rufus Thomas (Walking The Dog), and Carla Thomas (B-A-B-Y Baby).

Aside from Oliver's regular performances he has recently played the Black Rep's Production "One More Time". Oliver is mostly known for his versatility in many different music formats, from Be-bop trumpet to Falsetto R&B singing.

He first recorded under his own name with his Cheese and Butter album a self-produced, project with the help of Roberta his mother. Hard Times! was his second project, Hard Times was later picked up and re-issued on Quinn Records TM label.
He made his first solo albums two in the late 1990's, with bands featuring outstanding musicians, including famed guitarist Oswald Peters. With his be-bop sound and rockin blues band (later featuring side man Henry Taylor), it wasn't long before he was adopted by the southern soul audience as one of their own. .

Oliver signed with Quinn Records TM in 2004, releasing Hard Times: On The Other Side of Midnight!
(which earned him his two Sodexho Lifetime Achievement Awards). In 2007 he joined the late Earl Wilson Jr. Gateway Classics annual events!. He won a Sedexho Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006 for his dedication to the arts.
During the mid-2000s Oliver has continued recording and touring relentlessly, playing clubs, concert halls and festivals all over, electrifying audiences wherever he performs. Oliver's 2012 Argosy Casino Show featuring the legendary Richard Brooks original founding member of infamous,Impressions was hailed as an over-whelming success.
Oliver and his Nite Train Band continues to tour and work nitely in clues and venues all around the St. Louis City and Metropolitan area and shortly Oliver  will be touring  internationally with his own band.


The Best of Oliver Johnson proves Oliver Johnson's be-bop rocking trumpeting  is a true force of nature, while his songs and lyrics are a living history of the blues n soul earning him the reprutation as the guy who bought the trumpet to soul.
His thundering trumpet like Gabriel's is blowing the walls of blues and soul away. His improvisations on the blues and soul are full of fun and good humor. The blues and soul don't get much better."

MOBILE IS NOT AN OPTION,MOBILE IS A MUST!

by Dwight L. Quinn




Mobile is no longer just a luxury, which is available to an exclusive class of society. 
It has now emerged as a necessity for users, developers and businesses alike. 
Users who once browsed Websites now do so, on their mobile devices.
Everything, including payment, has now become mobile.

For the first time, web and mobile measurement firm comScore Inc. is breaking 
out mobile commerce sales by product category. The firm offers a glimpse at what 
mobile shoppers are buying.


Following are select product categories, the percentage of web sales from desktop/laptop computers, the percentage from smartphones, and the percentage from tablets, for the first half of 2013, according to comScore:

Event tickets, 84.6%, 10.9%, 4.5%.
Apparel and accessories, 90.3%, 6.2%, 3.5%.
Consumer electronics, 94.4%, 2.6%, 2.9%.
Computer hardware, 94.5%, 3.3%, 2.1%.
Consumer packaged goods, 95.6%, 3.0%, 1.3%.
Overall, 90.4% of total web sales came from desktops and laptops in the first half 
of 2013, 6.0% from smartphones and 3.5% from tablets, comScore says. 

Mobile commerce sales hit $10.6 billion in the first half of 2013, comScore finds, 
up 27.7% from $8.3 billion during the first half of 2012.

“While mobile devices are already extremely influential in the overall buying process, 
they are also beginning to drive a meaningful percentage of digital commerce
,” says comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni. “One out of every ten consumer e-commerce 
dollars is now spent using either a smartphone or a tablet, and growth in this segment 
of the market is outpacing that of traditional e-commerce by a factor of 2x, which itself 
is growing at rates in the mid-teens. Any channel shift has the potential to be disruptive 
to established revenue streams, and it would appear that m-commerce spending has
reached enough of a critical mass that key stakeholders must begin to address this new 
market dynamic today or risk losing competitive advantage.”

Hence, it would be desirable for you to move with the changing times and adapt to
 the latest mobile technologies. It is no more enough to merely get someone create 
an app for your business – you also need an IT team which is “mobile-literate” and 
can take care of post mobile app development aspects, such as developing an 
effective mobile strategy, promoting the app and so on.

Today, each and every company does need to create a powerful enough mobile 
presence. In case you are not ready to develop a mobile app for your business yet, 
you should think of the next best thing – that of creating a mobile Website to 
showcase your products and services. This Website should ideally be compatible for
 viewing on a number of different mobile devices.

You will have to do a bit of research in order to hire the right app developer or team.
You could ask your business contacts or visit forums online and post your query. 
Once you choose a developer, follow the above-mentioned steps to ensure that your app 
development process is smooth and trouble-free.
