Description: The music industry currently represents approximately $33 billion in annual sales worldwide. Jaggo Records is targeting a multi-billion dollar segment of this music consumer market, addressing the unmet needs of a large and growing population of music consumers, as well as the unmet needs of the music industry as a whole. This has created an excellent opportunity for investors. Jaggo Records is a record label in the business of recording music and selling that music to consumers all over the world. Our unique business model combines a focus on true artist development with an innovative market-testing methodology and “viral distribution” technology, which adds significant value to our music products. We have also built state-of-the art audio and video production facilities, reducing production costs by 90%. With top-level, major label distribution through international entertainment giant Universal, we have the uncommon ability to reach consumers on par with the major labels (Universal, Sony/BMG, EMI, Warner Bros.)and release both music and video products (such as feature films and concert videos). And we are already succeeding! The innovative approach of our business model not only benefits us, but also allows us to profit as a solution to the industry as a whole. Major labels are now looking for companies like Jaggo Records to discover, nurture and develop talent into a “market-ready” product. We act as an incubator, where product development and market research is handled with a degree of flexibility and efficiency impossible for companies of their size. Whether we release an album ourselves, or via a joint venture with a major label, we minimize risk and maximize return. Jaggo Records is a firm believer in new technology. We have designed an innovative new “viral distribution” technology that takes advantage of “Napster-like” file sharing networks to stimulate sales, promote our artists, gather invaluable marketing data, and curb on-line music piracy. This amazing technology is an integral part of our market-testing methodology and is proprietary. It can also be licensed to other companies. Jaggo Records has multiple divisions and strategic partnerships, each focusing on specific genres. One is a profitable and highly recognized brand with a long track record of success – approximately $150 million in revenues over its 17-year history. Together, we are building a music distribution network that goes far beyond our traditional music distribution through Universal by selling our product direct to the consumer in hundreds of nontraditional retail establishments (and growing). We are also marketing a line of pre-loaded MP3 players and memory sticks, each filled with hundreds of songs from our large catalog of music from superstar artists. Finally, we can expose our products to millions of households via our own television channel. With the Internet, the iPod and cell phones, as well as traditional/non-traditional retail, music can be sold in more convenient ways to consumers, wherever they are in the world, than any other product. We are on the cusp of an era of enormous growth in the music industry, and our innovation, partnerships, and efficiency enable us to capitalize on this in ways no other company in the industry can. With a roster of fantastic artists including Grammy Award winning legends, Jaggo Records will make sure great music is in everyone’s lives. Our team has a proven track-record, 100+ years of collective experience in the industry, and has been instrumental in the success of numerous superstar artists. Our high profit margins, low overhead, and efficiency allow us to reach profitability more quickly than other record labels, and our investors profit from us with more revenue streams than any other music company. We trust that you will quickly recognize the value of this opportunity. Investors in Jaggo Records can benefit financially from making an investment in a company poised for tremendous growth while having the satisfaction of bringing great music to mass audiences of consumers.
