Intercept Music, a Sanwire Subsidiary, Expands Physical Distribution to Include Amazon International, Target.com and Barnes & Noble

LOS ANGELES, CA / October 1, 2020 / Intercept Music announced today that it has expanded its physical distribution network for its product offerings again to include more major retailers.

In a press release dated June 25, 2020, Intercept announced that it had launched its physical distribution network with retail giants Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and FYE to name a few. Since then, Intercept has expanded its physical distribution network to include Amazon International, Target.com, Barnes & Noble, BarnesAndNoble.com, and Tower Japan, through its distribution partner Super D. In addition to the major retailers, Intercept distributes to over 1,000 record stores both domestically and internationally. The physical distribution network complements Intercept’s over 20 new digital retailers.

With the expansion of its physical distribution network, Intercept gives independent artists even more ways to maximize their revenue potential beyond the comprehensive digital distribution and promotional services in its Emerging Artist and Intercept Plus plans. Even with the explosion of streaming music, physical music sales represent a viable income opportunity; accounting for 20% of all music revenue in 2019, or more than $1.1 billion.

“Expanding our physical distribution network makes our artists’ music available worldwide and to a much larger audience and hence much higher revenues to the artists and us,” said Tod Turner, president of Intercept. “These additional major outlets include both e-commerce as well as physical locations; domestically and globally.”

Intercept’s online platform is dedicated to helping independent artists and bands effectively distribute, promote, and earn income from their music. Intercept’s platform gives artists immediate access to hundreds of digital stores and every major streaming platform, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora and Google Music. In addition to powerful DIY social media marketing and promotional tools available on a monthly subscription model, the invitation-only Intercept Plus program offers fully managed promotional services, including the opportunity to sell merchandise through branded online stores.
