November 30, 2007 - BOISE, ID –– NewReleaseTuesday.com (NRT) has experienced incredible growth since relaunching the site in July of 2007. As part of its new mission to connect Christian music fans worldwide, the site has welcomed 3,000 members to its newly formed NRTeam who have completely transformed the site in just five months. With page views sky rocketing 500% and traffic increasing 130% since the relaunch, there’s plenty to be excited about.
“The amount of growth that we have seen on NRT over the past 150 days is staggering,” says NRT founder, Kevin McNeese. “We have gone from a 50 page website to one with over 35,000 pages of content, making NRT one the largest databases of Christian music information online. In addition, we are allowing Christian music fans an opportunity to connect with each other like never before.”
NRTeam Members have been incredibly active during this time, adding over 1,100 Christian music artist profiles, 3,300 album details, over 3,400 album reviews and an astonishing 22,000 song lyrics. Members have also written over 1,900 blogs and there are over 7,000 posts in the community forum.
To help continue this rate of growth, NewReleaseTuesday.com has been frequently updating the site’s functionality over the past few months. These features include a complete redesign of the site’s search engine, allowing members to add their own profile galleries, incorporating the latest forum posts throughout the site and adding a list of upcoming tour events on the artist’s profile pages. Future enhancements will continue to roll out during the new year.
In addition, NRT recently launched a promotion that gives members an opportunity to win an 8GB iPod Touch, one of the hottest electronic devices available. By incorporating the unique NRTeam Points system, members can invite friends and family to sign up for the NRTeam. New members who are invited will get 25 bonus points immediately while giving their friends who referred them 10 bonus points. In March of 2008, the user who has invited the most NRTeam members to the site will snag the $300 iPod Touch. Membership to the NRTeam is 100% free. Contest details can be found at http://www.newreleasetuesday.com/nrteam_referral.php.
“This promotion relies on the strength of NewReleaseTuesday.com’s unique features,” continues McNeese. “We are taking the random drawing contest a step further by not only rewarding the most active member, but also rewarding those who sign up and everyone who invites others to the site. With free prizes starting at just 25 NRTeam Points, everyone has an opportunity to get something at NRT. No other site online rewards their members for everyday activity like we do.”
In fact, NRT has already shipped over $3,000 of merchandise and free prizes at no cost to its members. With autographed CDs, t-shirts, stickers, key chains, books and more, the NRTeam Points system has become the driving force behind everything NRT is doing. It’s just one of the many ways NewReleaseTuesday.com is continuing to create a unique and dynamic online experience while changing how Christian music fans interact and gather information.
