I recently wrote about online outlets for crowdfunded products with a question about who would provide such services for digital music. Crowd Outlet founder Chris James responded with the news that they’re very interested in selling musicians’ crowdfunded products both physical and digital. Yesterday I spoke with him about the details including the fact that musicians who sign up in May can get a 50% reduction of Crowd Outlet’s commission.
Crowd Outlet is a marketplace for crowdfunded products that offers post-campaign retail sales. It launched in early April so it’s very much in the early stages of development and marketing but the basic pieces are all in place.
Tucson-based husband and wife team Chris and Melanie James began working on the idea back in August after successfully crowdfunding two board games,DiceAFARI and Off Your Rocker, and a related magazine, Casual Game Insider.
Though we didn’t get into the details of their game-related activity, you can learn more in this Huffington Post interview with Chris James.
