How to Set Up a Pre-Save?

Setting up a pre-save allows your audience to save your upcoming release before it is officially available on streaming platforms, ensuring that they can listen to it immediately upon release. Here’s how you can set up a pre-save campaign for your next release with 2side Music:

1. Step 1: Release Date & Metadata Submission
   Before setting up a pre-save, make sure you’ve submitted your track or album to 2side Music for distribution, and have provided all necessary metadata, including release date and platform details. This step is essential for creating a pre-save link.
   
   

2. Step 2: Create Pre-Save Link
   Once your track or album is approved and ready for distribution, we will generate a pre-save link. This link allows your fans to save your music to their library before the official release. The pre-save link will work across major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others.
   
   

3. Step 3: Share the Pre-Save Link
   Once the pre-save link is ready, share it with your audience via social media, email newsletters, or on your website. You can promote the pre-save link to engage your fans and encourage them to save your track ahead of time.
   
   

4. Step 4: Monitor Pre-Save Stats
   Keep track of how many users are pre-saving your music. Most platforms offer analytics tools that show how many people have saved your track, which helps measure the effectiveness of your pre-save campaign.
   
   

5. Step 5: Release the Track
   On the official release date, your track will automatically appear in the libraries of everyone who pre-saved it. You’ll also receive a notification when the release goes live.
