When you order cards from us, you really get two things: The physical cards (the product) and our virtual download management (the service).
The Service
All DDCARDS products come with our download management service. We print your cards with unique Digital Download Codes (DDCODES) each valid for a 1-time download. We also provide you with a mini-website www.dd-cards.com/yourband where your cardholders go to enter their DDCODES to access and download your secure content. Cardholders are never required to sign up for an account, they simply enter their code and start downloading. It's easy to use and easy to customize.

DDTAGS work just like download cards. They have your custom artwork and are each printed with a unique URL and download code. At roughly 1/3 the size of regular DDCARDS, their small size makes them easier to distribute, and their lower cost means you can use them in more creative ways on their own or in combinations.
DDTAGS Download tags are excellent at the merchandise table and elsewhere:
Sell tags as individual items just like a regular DDCARD. Attach a plastic cord (like a mini event pass) and sell them as cool collectables
Hang download tags on other merchandise (t-shirts, etc.) to boost value and make combination sales.
Tags can be used as keychains by fans.

This is convenient if you have a mailing list or press releases where you'd like to distribute your music or content.

Pricing Suggestions
Because this system is so cost-effective, you can sell your digital music at a bargain for your fans. Most groups are selling download cards at around 5 or 6 euros per album. A fan who likes your band but doesn't want to pay 10 or 15 euros for a CD is more likely to buy an affordably-priced digital download card. You can also boost T-shirt and other merchandise sales by including your new album in MP3 format using a download tag or sticker.
Shipping Fees*
Shipping is free nationally in Spain and Portugal. European and World shipping rates apply for international orders.
