<strong>Nimbit</strong>
Pretty straightforward here. Nimbit presents me with very clear choices - "Why Nimbit", "Take The Tour" and "Get Started". The website is nicely laid out and easy to follow. I see this quote "The world doesn’t need another widget. Instead, we’re giving you the industry’s only completely integrated direct-to-fan platform." I'm not sure what "<strong>completely integrated</strong>" means in the context of "<strong>only</strong>" but I guess we'll see right? I roll through the marketing pieces and see this

<blockquote>Every Nimbit account includes digital and physical fulfillment, so you never have to worry about running to the post office, getting the address wrong, or running out of inventory. And when you need new discs, download cards, or posters, we do that too!</blockquote>

Certainly sounds like a differentiator to me. Nimbit has refined their basic message as.

1 - Market To Fans
2 - Sell Direct
3 - Manage Your Business

I see a scrolling list of artists there including some big names like the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss pairing. They've got some nice educational links on the site as well to something they call "D2FU" - While obviously a "Direct To Fan University" when I click through my initial read is "Direct To Fan? Fuck You" - hmm. An artist quote from "Johnny A"? Who is "Johnny A"? Given some of the names in the scrolling marquee I'd love to see a quote from a bigger personality. Not that I doubt anything but would Alison sing a catchy little Nimbit theme song for us? I love Alison.


What they want me to do though, via the big orange button, is "try it free".

<a href="http://www.nimbit.com/plans-pricing/?tryitfreebutton">Looking at the chart</a> though it seems to me that the "free" option just isn't going to cut it so I'm in for $12.95 - for now.
