mStore Design

After you upload your graphics and add some ringtones, take a look at your mStore and ask “Would someone buy a ringtone from this store?” Here are some stores that serve as good models:

http://supercat.mstore.xingtone.com/ (simple, clean logo with a nice, medium-sized photo of the artist)

http://frogvilleplanet.mstore.xingtone.com/ (very complete list of tones with great descriptions)

Enhanced mStore Design

Did you know that you can completely customize your mStore? Xingtone offers an “Extract HTML” feature, which allows you to take the raw html code for your ringtone clips and place it on any other web page or site where you promote your content. This is very useful if you have your own domain/web site, and want to integrate ringtones into it. Here are some examples:

To extract your ringtone store code, log in to your store, go to the “Extras” tab and follow the basic instructions there.

Featured mStore Artist: Travis Matte & the Zydeco Kingpins

mStore Success Story: Travis Matte & the Zydeco Kingpins (Cajun/Zydeco)

[ web site :: ringtone store :: Myspace ]
Key Promotional Tactics:
1. link to ringtones in web site navigation
2. prominent link to tones on Myspace page
3. word-of-mouth promotion at gigs

In Travis' words: "I basically promote our ringtones through our website, Myspace, and word of mouth when playing clubs, festivals, etc. In our area and genre of music, we are basically the "Hot band" for the style of music we do in Louisiana. We are also the only band locally that features ringtones to our fans. Cajun/Zydeco is not a huge market like country, rock, etc., but there are musicians that play around the world for a living doing that kind of music!

Xingtone's Comments: We LOVE the fact that Travis is combining real-world and online promotional tactics to generate interest in his band's ringtones. This is the best way to capture the hearts and minds of fans (and to gain more fans). Check out his web site and Myspace page - it's very upbeat and has photos of the band with fans. We get the sense that it's fun to be connected to the band and that translates into respect, trust, and sales of music, ringtones, and other merchandise.

Xingtone Ringtone Maker Software Trick & Tip

Here's an idea.  Did you ever try to drag and drop an audio file over the Xingtone application.  If you do, it will open the file.  That could be really helpful if you have room on your screen for the application and an explorer window that shows all of your files.
