◆Service overview◆
The new service “Tower Records Marketplace” (hereinafter referred to as Marketplace) is a function that allows users to buy and sell media products, mainly music-related, such as CDs, analog records, Blu-ray & DVD, etc. on the Tower Records Online site. In August, an official Tower Records store opened in advance as the Tower Records Trade Center. From October 22nd (Tuesday), the number of exhibitors will be expanded to individuals and corporations, and the official launch will be held.
◆Service features◆
Tower Records Online is an e-commerce site where music lovers gather. By opening a marketplace here, we will match “want” and “want to sell” specializing in music. Additionally, if the product is registered in the Tower Records Online database, simply entering the barcode will automatically reflect the product information, reducing the time it takes to enter information even if there are a large number of titles you want to list. will be done. Furthermore, when making purchases, you can use points from both Tower Records stores and online, and we have created a safe transaction environment through escrow payments and anonymous delivery.
◆Development background◆
In recent years, Tower Records has focused on expanding analog sales and has also been working on purchasing reused products to support that demand. Tower Records Online, which has only dealt with new products, will continue to expand its marketplace with the desire to provide a place where all kinds of music products can be recycled from music lovers to new music lovers. We have now launched.
