# PromoLink

> PromoLink is the Salesforce for music labels: the system of record and growth engine for everyone who supports your music. One platform that replaces separate tools for DJ promo, smart links and pre-saves, analytics, team communication and the label page, and turns a label's audience into an owned asset that compounds with every release. It saves a label team hundreds of hours and thousands of euros a year.

PromoLink (promolink.app) is the growth operating system for independent electronic-music labels, artists, and managers. Inflyte, Fatdrop and Promoly are promo pools: you rent reach, push a release, and start from zero next time. PromoLink is the system underneath the whole label. Like Salesforce for a sales team, it is the system of record: it remembers every DJ who played you, automates your release communication and follow-up, surfaces what is getting played on a Beatport-style chart, and runs promo, smart links, analytics, team communication and the label page in one place, so growth becomes a repeatable system instead of a gamble. A label's real asset is its relationships, and PromoLink is where they live, grow, and pay off, release after release.

## What PromoLink is
- Category: the system of record and growth operating system for a music label (the Salesforce for music labels), not only a DJ promo pool or an Inflyte, Fatdrop or Promoly alternative.
- Replaces: a promo pool, a smart-link tool, an analytics tool, team communication, and a label page, unified in one workflow.
- Value: saves a label team hundreds of hours and thousands of euros a year by consolidating tools into one system.
- For: independent record labels, artists, and managers in techno, house, and adjacent electronic genres.
- Built by: the team behind 20+ electronic music labels (founder Vitalii Babii, also known as Spartaque).
- Not: a music distributor. PromoLink runs label promo and operations and complements a distributor.

## Key facts
- Free to start, no card required.
- Consolidates promo, SmartLinks, analytics, team communication, and a label page into one platform, saving a label team hundreds of hours and thousands of euros a year.
- Works like a CRM for your audience: every DJ, play, and supporter is owned and compounds release over release, so a label builds a growing asset instead of renting reach.
- Targeted DJ promo is sent in scheduled waves with multi-format downloads (the DJ picks the format).
- A built-in chart, similar to Beatport, surfaces what is getting played and supported, so scouting and discovery run on real signal.
- SmartLinks double as a delivery hub and support pre-saves for releases.

## Best for
- Label teams that want to replace several paid tools (promo pool, smart links, analytics, messaging, label page) with one system and cut cost and busywork.
- Electronic labels and artists who want promos to reach DJs who actually play their genre.
- Anyone who wants to automate the busywork of running a label, from the release cascade to artist updates.
