Whats Inside
Dear Friend of Oasis,
There's a reason independent musicians and filmmakers have chosen to rely on Oasis Disc Manufacturing, project after project, for over twenty years. (We're even working on projects by the children of customers who first worked with us a generation ago.) This difference isn't technology, pricing, or marketing. It's something different.The Oasis Difference. This difference is noticeable from your first phone call until you receive your finished CD. It's in the tangible difference in the level of care you get when you choose Oasis. The difference is based on our longevity, experience, company history and most of all the fact that our patient and thoughtful employees are empowered to do what it takes to make sure you get the best care possible. Customer service is central to what we do. I care so much about it that Ive written two recent books on the subject. So you know when you work with Oasis that our employees are going to go the extra mile for you. This can make all the difference when youre in the nail-biting phase of putting your baby out there for all the world to see. Part of delivering excellent customer care starts even before you call us. You can find it in our extraordinary offers, like our lightning fast and guaranteed turn times. After all, any CD manufacturer can make production promises all day long, but unless theyre willing to go that extra mile and back them up with cash like Oasis does their promises are meaningless. The bottom line is: If youre okay with feeling like a number, there are plenty of options for you. But if you want to be treated like a unique, creative artist with a crucially important project (no matter how small or large), theres only Oasis. Ready for the red carpet treatment? Give us a call at 888-296-2747. Sincerely,

The Oasis Digipak

Oasis Environmental Practices

A ll Oasis board packaging is printed on 100% Green Forestry Practices stock. Green Forestry Practices means these products dont promote forest monoculture, clear-cutting of virgin, old-growth timber, nor contribute to other destructive forestry practices. Over 99% of the inks we use are eco-friendly, vegetable-based inks. A ll the scrap polycarbonate, board, paper, and other industrial waste that can be effectively reused is captured in our plant for recycling. A ll of our manufacturing is domestic and nearly all of it is done under our own roof, leading to one of the smaller carbon footprints in the industry. In other words, Oasis helps reduce excessive strain on the environment by efficiently manufacturing and printing in our own facility, rather than farming out your work all over the country and even all over the globe, a standard practice for the brokers who predominate in the independent disc replication industry.

Introducing the Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak

Dont just reduce your CDs carbon footprinteliminate it!

The Oasis Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak lets you make music without harming the earth or atmosphere, or filling up landfills! Featuring the Oasis BottleTray, the new Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak reduces carbon emissions by 88% overall compared to a jewel case (65% compared to a conventionally-trayed Digipak). And thanks to careful attention to chain of custody and use of carbon offset credits, the entire package, assembly, shipping and the CD itself are rendered 100% carbon neutral for a modest premium of 10 per disc. In addition, the Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak's use of the clear, flexible Oasis BottleTray keeps 400 liter-sized water bottles out of landfills or incinerators, as it is made entirely from 100% postconsumer water bottles.

How we achieve zero carbon

After minimizing the carbon footprint, we offset the remainder by supporting a validated greenhouse gas reduction project we have investigated personallyin conjunction with our supplier, Sunlytesuch as the Freund Family Dairy in East Canaan, Connecticut. This farm captures the greenhouse gas methane, which is 23 times more harmful to the climate than CO2, and converts it into energy used on the farm, in a process certified by Carbonfund.org. (Please visit oasisCD.com/zero for a copy of the certificationas well as a great Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe video of the methane-capture project in action!)

Jewel Case Booklets, Foldouts, and Posterfolds

Sometimes you have more to say (or show) than a standard jewel case package will allow. By adding a foldout (6 or 8 panels), posterfold (8-12 panels), or stapled booklet (up to 40 pages), youll be able to fully express your creative vision. Whether its your complete lyrics or a software manual, theres no shortage of room with these insert options. And your customers and fans (and your muse) will appreciate the extra investment youve made in getting your message across.

Create a jewel case package that gives your fans more you.

Case in Point: Robbin Thompson

I've greatly enjoyed Oasis' long-time association with Robbin Thompson. Robbin's work has involved an astonishing list of greats including a former bandmate named Bruce Springsteen. He runs a major recording studio (In Your Ear) in Richmond, Virginia. And he writes music not only for commercials and films but also for great causes like SmileTrain, The Asia Foundation, and awareness campaigns for autistic children in military families. One of Robbin's songs even went on to become the centerpiece for a campaign to fight human trafficking in Cambodia. "Just a Blur In The Rearview" was a special project for Robbin. It includes his track "I Won't Quit" from a film with Cuba Gooding, Jr., as well as a favorite cover from Jesse Winchester. More than three years in the making, Robbin wanted a special packaging format for Rearview. Here's Robbin in his own words.

Did you know?

"I chose a 6-panel with full-color printing on both sides to allow me to get all the credits, art, and photography that really give the project the visual and documentary treatment it deserved. "The artwork for a project like this is so important. It's often the first contact your fans have with the music, so it has to speak to them. I used local artists to create an original painting depicting what they think the title means visually for my cover. It's a showcase for them as well so it's got to come out right. The larger, 6-panel format allowed room for this as well as everything else I wanted to get in. Best of all, it was still affordable, which is an important consideration as I have reordered the project several times.

Try the Secret Envelope Case in Point: Rachael Sage

Oasis client Rachael Sage has become one of the busiest touring artists in independent music, performing 150+ dates a year throughout the US, UK, Europe and Asia. Sages own MPress Records recently released her 10th album, Haunted by You, as well as the single, Abby Would You Wait, pictured on this page. She explains one of the approaches that has helped her grow her career: her commitment to being as accessible as possible to her fans. someone who connected viscerally with my fans. I made a point to chat with them after shows, enlist them for help when applicable, and think of them as an extension of my label and part of my team. I have enormous respect for the people who choose to come out to a folk club at 7pm on a Sunday instead of staying home to watch TV. I want them to remember our time together as something that uplifted, inspired, and made them laugh. I always ask my listeners about themselves and their lives because we all have overlap in terms of our stories and our lives and hearing the stories of those who are drawn to my work can only grant me insight, as a songwriter and a performer. By the way, says Rachael: Oasis has, hands-down, the very best turnaround time of any company weve ever worked with. And we always know that the staff has our backif for example, there ever is a technical issue with one of the elements we provide, they are quick to catch it and help us correct it! Oasis is easy to work with on every level." Tucks closed (without using any plastic) like a hand-made secret envelope. Does not include (or require) poly wrap or wafer seal.

Don't have a designer? Now you do.

Its long been clear to me that DJs, A&R reps, retail buyers, and the public are more likely to take CDs and DVDs for a spin when they look professional (and those that don't, can end up in the trash). Great design provides that foot in the door we all need. Thats why its been so important to me to have a design team here that has the skills and experience to craft head-turning designs for our customers all day, every day. And because DesignWorks is here in house, its not only much more affordable than most design firms, but also delivers award-winning design in just a few days outside designers can take weeks just to give you your first proof. Best of all, Oasis DesignWorks offers a money-back guarantee: If we cant satisfy you with your design proofs, you get your money back no ifs, ands, or buts. Youve put your heart and soul into your project. Let us put our hearts and souls into your design. You wont be disappointed.

The OasisSampler Radio Promotion Program

A $350 value, yours for just $50 with your CD replication order.
Radio has always been the holy grail of promotion. And for indie artists, its an especially tough slog to get your CD into the hands of a program director. If youre an Oasis client, however, you can get your music out to radio stations (and other industry players) across the U.S. for just $50! When you manufacture a new CD with us, you can choose one song to be included on your choice of OasisSampler CDs, each of which goes to a carefully chosen list of 400 to 700 (depending on genre) radio stations nationwide. We only send Samplers to stations that have a proven track record of playing independently-produced music. OasisSamplers get serious attention. Theyve assisted our clients in getting soundtrack work, licensing for television (for Grey's Anatomy, Big Love, Deadwood, and more), and many other opportunities. With Oasis, radio promotion is no longer a pipe dream. Its a wonderful reality.

I got a call from the Bose Corpor ation. They heard my song Silent One on the sampler Oasis sent them, and included it on a setu p CD for use in their stores throughout North Am erica, Germany and Japan. I was thrilled and rece ived extensive royalties from them to boot! Later, Bose re-pressed their disc and paid me for that seco nd pressing as well all in the course of introducing my music to hundreds of new, music-loving ear s!

Bulk Replicated (pressed) discs

Strictly business.
Nearly everyone who works at Oasis, including myself and throughout the ranks, is an active musician.* But we truly enjoy working on all sorts of projects. In fact, some of the client projects we put the most effort into are for great companies, small and large, national and international. Schools, churches, synagogues, government agencies, as well as companies (some of which are household names) that are famously going carbon-neutral, as profiled in the business press. Here are some of the packaging options that have worked well for these institutions. Youll find more throughout this book.

GTT
Your discs in as fast as 3 days Guaranteed!
Shop with confidence at the company that gives you cash back if we are even one day late.
If anyone in this industry quotes you what they say is a turn time, ask one simple question: Is that turn time guaranteed? Why? Because most turn times are just estimates. After all, most of our competitors are brokers who vend out your project to the lowest bidder, so they have no reliable way of knowing when your project will be finished. At Oasis we make each piece of your project right here in our factory, which gives us more control throughout the process, making our production times so reliable that we can offer guaranteed 5-day and now even 3-day turn times. What happens if we miss a guaranteed turn time? You get real money back: $100 a day for every single day past the guaranteed turn up to a full $500. But we dont expect to be late. We have the most reliable, in-house, all-under-one-roof operation in the country. We will make your date. Guaranteed.

Even in quantities as small as 300, you can get real pressed discs. These are the same high-quality CDs that you would get with one of our packages.

As a company living and dying by the reputation of its product, what we need above all is a reliable partner with rock solid quality controls and the ability to respond flexibly and nimbly to our demands. Oasis provides that level of reassurance.
