Update: Nimbit
March 19th, 2009 by Lior Shamir
Further to my post about Nimbit on the 8th March, I had a chance to communicate with the company’s Co-Founder and CEO, Patrick Faucher, this week regarding my comments. Here is his response:
Interesting observations.
You may have overlooked the fact that we offer the only fully integrated storefront delivery system that allows you to sell, bundle and fulfill both physical and digital goods. Also, our download card system actually drives the fan to redeem the product directly in the artist’s storefront, which is key to creating repeat customers and cross-merchandising. One thing I can say regarding Reverb, Tunecore, etc. is that we don’t see them competing with our core business, which is direct-to-fan commerce. The reason why artists tend to stay with us is because they make more money overall, it’s easier to manage their business, and more sustainable.
