NEW MARKETING INITIATIVES

The Orchard/Turmic Records will be unveiling a new series of merchandising playlists called Selector Series™. Used widely across DSPs, custom playlists are a proven method of driving sales. Playlists cull key tracks into digestible bundles to pull genres, themes, and musical movements out of the digital “bins” and to drive sampling opportunities for consumers to encourage album sales and increase artist discovery. In the coming months, we will be putting together a wide variety of playlists, ranging from holiday & theme-based compilations, genre-highlights, celebrity picks, and more.
