Reseller Programme

Partnering with Marzipan Media

In 2008, we met a DJ who had a side-line creating playlists for some of the bars he DJ’d to use when he wasn’t there.  He wanted to be able to expand his offering to include supplying the music itself, rather than the bar staff having to buy it, but he didn’t want to have the hassle and expense of taking copyright licenses.  Through that first conversation we established that if he used our system then it would solve his problem without the need for any upfront investment on his part.  We asked the copyright bodies whether this would be acceptable and they agreed, so after a brief trial to let him check the solution definitely worked for him, we began working together.

We are still working with him today, though he now offers his services far more widely than just the bars in which he DJs, and turns over around £10k on our system each month: not bad for a side-line!  Since starting that original partnership, we have met many other companies who can use our system to build their businesses in various ways, and now have over 20 partners, some in the UK and some in diverse locations abroad.
Our partners tell us that when they’re looking for a partner, stability, consistency of service and trustworthiness are equally important to good quality, functional systems.  As a company, our greatest strengths are our innovation and our ability to build and maintain relationships; some of our clients have been working with us for over 30 years and we aim to build strong links with both clients and suppliers.

• Our customisation offer means that if there is something the software could do to make your life easier or your business more profitable, we will be glad to make the modification if practical.
