Distribution in the front line www.green-way.gr
Distribution in the front line I remember myself being a student and searching for records - mainly classical music records - downtown Athens, and I also remember that I liked using all my senses to examine, feel and finally listen to my music preferences. Then, came the internet and e-shopping dominated the market. The next step, digital download, was presented and we started using this method which is fast and most of the times cheaper than buying a physical disc. Many people claim that digital downloads will conquer the music industry the next decade and they might be right. But hey, the same was said about books, but thankfully millions of people still read books only in physical form! Don t misunderstand me, I m a fan of technology and I use it every day. On the other hand, I strongly believe and wish that Classical music records in physical form will survive in the digital era but we all have to try towards that direction, we have to feel the needs, the pulse of our customers and always offer them the best possible result through unique services. After many years of personal research and studies in the fields of business and music and when I realized the amount of classical & jazz record labels that exist in the music industry, I decided to start an effort to bring this treasure into my country and Greenway was born! Greenway has the goal to provide efficient and effective distribution services to record labels all over Greece. We would like to bridge the gap between the supplier and the store owner by providing physical and marketing services for the benefit of everyone. We strongly believe that distribution is bonded with services which have to be offered in a transparent way to our partners. There is no magic recipe for the success of this effort, only hard work and hard work. Our passion for music and our vision to create a bonded network of professionals, bringing distribution in the front line, is enough to keep us alert. After all, in order to sustain or grow your business position, you have to use all your senses, don t you think? Thedore Bafaloukas General Manager www.green-way.gr 5
