Niche Media Ventures Distribution Success: Pilar's Album Passes 38,000 in Sales
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2004--Niche Media Ventures, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NTVI) is distributing the new album entitled "Pilar" by Latin pop princess Pilar Montenegro. Pilar's recently released album has already reached #34 in the Billboard Latin Album chart with sales of over 38,000 units to date (almost 12,000 units have been reported by Soundscan.)
Niche Media current distribution of this album provides Niche Media with the opportunity of taking a more active role in the development of this exciting artist. Pilar is one of a growing number of performers who no longer desire to be associated with a major label record company. NMV has the infrastructure to absorb these acts at little or no cost and get them into national distribution with varying levels of participation.
In addition to complete national distribution, Niche Media Ventures also has the ability to replicate CDs and DVDs, author those DVDs, and provide streaming media and web hosting services to its artists and business partners. This infrastructure allows an independent artist with the ability to produce and distribute their work in a cost effective manner.
The success of the Pilar album points to the strength of NMV's business model. There are a growing number of artists whose album projects are not cost effective for major labels to exploit but can still sell in excess of 10,000 units, which is profitable for NMV.
Niche Media is in position to pick the best of these newly available acts and plans to acquire many new music and film rights, which it believes can have unit sales of between 25,000 and 250,000 units. Furthermore, NMV plans to slowly increase its stake in these acts by leveraging its increasingly formidable infrastructure.
