They're charging this year. b,121b,121b,121b,121RECORD STORE DAY 2009b,121b,121October 10, 2008b,121Hello Record Stores!b,121b,121We???re amazed to find that our planning for Record Store Day 2009 is underway, and it???s time to begin finalizing some things. We learned a lot from last year???s experience, and we???re doing all we can to put it into practice, so that Record Store Day 2009 (April 18) will be even bigger and better! b,121b,121One of the things we learned was that it???s tough and expensive to coordinate and deliver all the added value tools that were provided by our various label partners. This year, we want to be able to include as many of you as possible in the shipments of items you can use to reward and entice your customers on Record Store Day. To accomplish that, for the first time we???re going to need to ask for a monetary commitment from each location who wants to receive these items. b,121TO BE CLEAR: you can still participate in Record Store Day and use the Record Store Day logo WITHOUT this commitment (any store can participate to any degree they like), we just would not be able to include you in the group that receives the special Record Store Day Added Value materials. b,121NOTE: we are unable to include international locations in this mailing this year. If you are one of our global Record Store Day buddies, please contact your labels and distribution companies directly.b,121b,121The commitment amount we???re asking for is $125 per LOCATION (if you???re a chain, please multiply $125 by the number of locations you???ll have involved). We will need to receive a check for this amount no later than December 1, 2008, so that we???ll have a final list of stores who will be participating at this level to kick off the new year, as we begin to finalize what those tools are going to be. We???re going to ask you for one more thing, too. In an attempt to help us keep this simple and organized, please take the following steps:b,1211. Make out a check for your total amount ($125 x number of locations) to Music Monitor Network (the MMN is acting as treasurer for Record Store Day).b,1212. Print out this email and fill out the info at the bottom. (PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL INFO IS COMPLETED. WE NEED ALL THIS INFO IN ORDER TO CASH YOUR CHECK AND INCLUDE YOU).b,1213. Mail the check and the printed info sheet to the following address, to arrive no later than December 1: b,121b,121Music Monitor Network (attn: Record Store Day)b,1211609 Baker Roadb,121Raleigh, NC 27607b,121b,121If you have any questions at all about this, go ahead and email us at a href="mailto:info@recordstoreday.com."1info@recordstoreday.com.
