Step 4 - Send a Campaign

When you have provided all the required data, your release's status will look like this:

Now it's time to send orders to the system and schedule the Campaign(s). You can schedule when you want to send the promo to your DJ lists (each list can be sent out at a different time and with different download options) as well as schedule the upload to Soundcloud.

a. +PROMO SENDER - click on the button to schedule a campaign.

Start - Select the start date and time of the campaign.

End - Select the end date and time of the campaign(we recommend to leave the campaign on for at least 5 weeks).

Download format - MP3 or MP3 and WAV

Promo List - Select the DJ list(s) you'd like to send the promo to.

 b, +SOUNDCLOUD UPLOAD - click on this to schedule the release's uploading to Soundcloud. You can customize the fields of each track as well as the artwork. If this button is blurred, it means you have not linked your Soundcloud account to Syndicast via API. To do so, head back to the My Label(s) menu.

In the first section, you can set up the Defaults for the files to be uploaded such as whether or not it should be Downloadable, Description, and Tags. Optionally, you can also customize them track by track. If you leave the boxes empty in the Track Details area, the system will use the default data.

-Enter the Upload Date and Time.

-Select upload source.

-Select if the tracks will be downloadable or not.

-Enter album tags

-Select upload composition: album or individual tracks

-Album Description (By default it’s the Release Description)

-Track details, you can customize the fields of each track if you want them override the defaults.

d, You will be directed to the CHECKOUT page. Starting from 23rd March 2020, we will provide the Promo Sender service for free until further notice in order to support record labels in these hard times caused by the COVID-19/Coronavirus crisis. 

Please follow these steps in order to use the service for free:

1. The Summary must be 0 euros (if not, please contact us).
2. Accept the Terms & Conditions.
3. Select the Payment Method as "Bank Transfer"
4. Click on Check Out. You will not be charged. One of our operators will approve your campaign.

Fair usage policy applies. Since the service will be free for an extended period of time, you do not need to rush and send out lots of promos at the same time. It will result in your DJ contacts flagging your promos as spam,  unsubscribing from your promo lists or sending you less feedback.
