online e-Stores When an e-Store is created with the FulfillDisc service, you will get a unique online page (web address) where you can describe your product, show pricing and have product shots. You are then encouraged to promote your title by sending out emails, postcards etc -- all pointing interested customers back to your page for purchase.
Once an order is received the customer will get a confirmation email. When we ship (normally within 24 hours) another email is sent with shipping details and our customer support email & phone numbers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PacificDisc creates new fulfillment division to offer filmmakers & musicians an inexpensive and streamlined fulfillment/e-commerce solution
(PRWEB) September 5th, 2006 -- PacificDisc, the pioneers of Demystifying CD & DVD Replication, today announced the forming of a new division called FulfillDisc. The new division's charter will be to provide seamless integration from CD or DVD replication through to fulfillment and online distribution -- thereby providing the final piece in an independent's self-distribution puzzle.
FulfillDisc will specialize in the fulfillment of electronic media products. Whether it's on DVD, CD or ESD (immediate electronic software download), FulfillDisc will take the hassle of e-commerce, reporting, warehousing, fulfillment, shipping & customer support off an independent producer's hands - allowing him or her to concentrate on promoting sales of that title or producing new content.
"Offering smaller producers an online sales page and all the back-office functions associated with fulfillment was an obvious move for PacificDisc", said Morris Anderson, President and Cofounder of PacificDisc Inc. "Many of our CD or DVD replication customers are going to be self-distributing their discs themselves. The challenge of setting up an e-commerce account, building a website, figuring out where to store inventory, packing & shipping orders is no trivial undertaking. And try to find an elegant, inexpensive service elsewhere! By offering a straight-forward solution to take a producer's inventory and setting up a cost-effective e-Store PacificDisc truly empowers it's customers by offering a soup-to-nuts solution".
Many producers don't have the expertise or time to develop and implement the infrastructure necessary for successful fulfillment. Those who do are burdened with inventory management, shipping, customer support calls which can add up to a full-time job. FulfillDisc provides a totally outsourced solution that includes a secure, 24/7, member's ePortal where they can review their inventory levels, sales data, customer contact information and see what their next monthly profit check will be.
"The FulfillDisc model is built to assist customers, both large and small", said Chris Bailey, Vice President & General Manager at FulfillDisc. "We have many smaller independent clients who have taken advantage of our complete fulfillment solution. Unlike certain other sales channels, open to independent producers, where you cannot send any inventory, or where a huge percentage from any sale is given up, FulfillDisc has a simple pricing model that allows a producer to retain most of the profits, without signing away any rights and having online access to sales & customer information".
PacificDisc will ship replicated discs straight to the FulfillDisc warehouse at no charge to the replication customer (potentially another huge saving). A simple sign-up process takes place and within a few days a DVD or CD is available for sale online. The producer has a unique e-Store to which to send perspective buyers. When a customer completes the online sales process, FulfillDisc will package a unit from the warehouse and ship directly to the end-user. There is a small per unit fulfillment fee and low monthly warehousing fees, but after that the producer gets to keep the lion's share of the profits.
Details of fees are: Annual e-Store cost = $100/annum Pick & Pack fee = $2.99 + 5% of unit sales price (to cover credit card fees) Warehouse Storage = $29.95/month per pallet
Example: A DVD sells for $19.95 + $2.99 shipping (USPS). Customer pays $22.94 FulfillDisc fees - $2.99 pick and pack fee + $1.00 (5% of unit sale) = $3.99 Producer Profit = $19.95 - $3.99 = $15.96/unit
A producer is still free to pursue any distribution deals, as no rights are given up when signing up with FulfillDisc. If a producer wishes to terminate at any time, a simply written request is required. The e-Store is then turned off, any remaining inventory is shipped to the producer and within 60-days any and all remaining profits are paid.
