• It is unknown how often marketing
representatives visit the store. The inquiry
email hasn’t been answered yet.

8. Reflection
• Zia Records is absolutely a location I would
use for the release of an indie artist’s
project. I would seek consignment of their
album in the store, on their website, and the
Zia Instagram page as well as leaving
samplers and stickers with the store. I would
also pursue a in-store performance,
appearance, signing, or any combination of
the three.
