Haulix Weekly Update #27 – Support

Hello and welcome to the final update of the work week here on the official blog of Haulix. We like to use this time to reflect on everything that has happened around our offices in recent days and want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. If you would like to learn more about the services offered by Haulix, please do not hesitate to email james@haulix.com and request more information. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Kicking off this week, we wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who has sent us feedback regarding our recently launched mobile platform. We knew people were hoping for such an update for a long time and are thrilled to finally be able to deliver. If you missed the original announcement, click here for details regarding the system and how you can access your promos on the go.

On the topic of new updates this week, the entire Haulix team has been hard at work creating a new support site. We hope to complete this project in the weeks ahead and launch around the time spring arrives. Every article from the old site will be included and updated to ensure top shelf assistance is delivered with each and every click. We’ll bring you more details regarding the redesign launch sometime in the weeks ahead.

As far as our efforts here on the blog are concerned, things have never been better. The recent decision to extend our coverage to seven days has allowed for more great content to be delivered each and every week, which makes us and hopefully you at home quite happy. We have new columns, guest contributors, and a budding job board that is poised to take off in no time at all. There is a lot to be excited about around here, and we thank you for continuing to support our efforts.

In case you missed anything around the blog in recent days, here is rundown of everything posted since last Friday:

That is everything we have for today. Check back tomorrow for a new ‘Journalism Tips,’ followed by the latest Job Board on Sunday.

Haulix Weekly Update #26 – Mobile!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the weekly recap of all things related to Haulix. We have been very busy in recent days, and just this morning launched one of our biggest updates to date.The paragraphs below will fill you in on what’s new, what’s on the way, and what you may have missed. If you have any questions regarding the content of this blog, or if you would like to learn more information about the services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts.

The big story of the week is the official launch of our first-ever mobil platform. Starting today, members of the press accessing individual promo screens and My Promo pages will be able to explore content and listen to music on the go from compatible smartphones and tablet devices.

Just to be clear, this is not an app that you have to install. Haulix mobile is viewed in your device’s browser and accessed through links within individual promotional invites.

Outside the word of mobile, efforts continue at HQ to further refine our promotional distribution platform. We have another big announcement or two on the way before summer, but for now we have to keep our lips sealed. If you have any ideas that you think would improve the Haulix experience, please do not hesitate to chat with us on Twitter and Facebook.

On the blog end of things, we have spent the past week settling into our seven day posting routine. The debut edition of ‘Journalism Tips’ debuted last Saturday, and we have another edition ready to roll out tomorrow. If you missed anything on the blog in recent days, click the links below and discover some fantastic music industry insight:

This weekend’s coverage will include new a ‘Journalism Tips’ column and the latest music industry job opening roundup. 

That’s all we have for now. As always, if you plan on going out this weekend, have a fun and safe time. Give Haulix mobile a spin when time allows and let us know your thoughts. We’ll talk to you again next week.

Haulix Weekly Update #25 – Mobile, Email, and More!

Hello and welcome to the final work week Haulix blog update. We recently moved to a seven-day posting style, but we still reserve Friday afternoons as a time for company updates and content reflection. This edition is particularly lengthy, so settle in now and prepare to be wowed. If you have any questions regarding the content of this blog, or if you would like to learn more information about the services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Starting off with the topic that may very well have inspired you to click the link that brought you to this post, we are thrilled to announce our mobile platform is finally ready for launch. Our plan is to release the update later this evening, which will immediately allow journalists worldwide to stream promos on their smartphones for the first time ever. Keep an eye on our Twitter for updates on the official launch, and stay tuned for a complete walkthrough to appear on the blog later this weekend.

Mobile is not the only news we have to discuss this week. In addition to rolling out that long-awaited feature, we recently pushed out a new email engine. This is probably the biggest improvement we’ve made to the system in years. In the past, 10,000 email invitations would of taken 3-4 hours to go out – sending out small batches every 4 minutes or so. Now, we can do 10,000 in about 60 seconds! Isn’t technology wild?

On the blog end of things, the past seven days have been a whirlwind of interviews and preparation. We introduced a brand new column (How To Kill Your Band), and made progress on several upcoming features that will be revealed in the weeks ahead. We also made this:

(*Cough Cough* It’s a clue *Cough Cough*)

In case you missed anything on the blog this week, a link to every post since Saturday can be found below. We’ll be back tomorrow with an in-depth interview you will not want to miss.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

We are here to ease those final minutes with a look back at everything that has happened in recent days, as well as a brief glimpse at the future. Let’s dig in, shall we?

We have spent the past several weeks working out the design and are now beginning to move into the testing phase, with hopes to announce a release date in the coming weeks. As soon as screens are available you can rest assured we will post them here.

In addition to the mobile platform, our team continues to work at further refining our digital distribution software. We have a number of updates on the horizon, which we plan to rollout and detail in the weeks ahead. 

As far as the blog is concerned, we could not be more excited about the response to the relaunch of our ‘Advice’ series earlier this week.

Haulix Weekly Update #22 – Just a little bit longer…

Hello, everyone! If you’re reading this it means you survived another week at the office and are now counting down the hours until the weekend arrives. Go on, pat yourself on the back. Another week is a little under one-hundred hours away, but for now we’ll reflect on everything we’ve accomplished in recent days and bask in the knowledge we can soon relax. 

If you have any questions regarding the content of this blog, or if you would like to learn more information about the services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

The past seven days have been busy at Haulix HQ. We know many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first-ever mobile platform, but unfortunately you are going to have to wait just a bit longer. Our developers are in the final stages of testing, so we will hopefully have more information on a potential release in time for next week’s update.

On the blog side of things, we could not be more excited for the months ahead. Aside from SXSW, which we are impatiently awaiting, we have some awesome content in the works that we cannot wait to share with all of you. The features you have grown to love will remain, of course, but they will soon be joined by a slew of new ideas we believe will help further our efforts to inform the next generation of music industry professionals. You can find a series of links highlighting the content from this past week below:

Blogger Spotlight: Alexa Rahmanparast (Mind Equals Blown)
Publicity Spotlight: Dan Bogosian (Shore Fire Media)
Artist Spotlight: Eric Morgan (Bornstellar / A Hero A Fake)
Blogger Spotlight: Chris Lantinen (Modern Vinyl)

Our ‘Advice’ series will return next week.

That’s all the updates and content we have to share right now. Have a safe and fun weekend, everyone!

Haulix Weekly Update #13 – Email and Mobile

Hello, everyone. If you’re reading this it means you survived another week of work or school and the weekend is just a few short hours away. Yes, it’s Friday once more, and we have a nice little recap ready to help wrap up the week.

The holiday season is well under way, but before we get tied up in presents and decorations we still have a lot we hope to accomplish at Haulix HQ. The development of our mobile platform continues, and earlier this week testing began on various mobile devices. We’re not quite ready to announce a launch date just yet, but know it’s likely coming sooner than you expect.

In addition to moving forward on that project, we recently unveiled a new, in-depth description of everything offered through our ‘Email Invitation Activity Screen.’ By following this link, you can learn about how Haulix is working to help you better understand who receives your promos, who opens them, who uses them, and which accounts are dead or otherwise inactive. There’s a lot of information there, so we recommend setting aside 10-minutes or so to properly dive into the material.

Onto the blog…

The past few days on our blog have been some of our favorite to date. From the two interviews posted, both of which offer unique perspectives on life in the business, to the ‘Advice’ columns, we’re extremely proud of the content we’ve posted. We know not everyone has time in their daily schedule to see what we’re up to, so below you will find a list of links to each of the week’s stories:

That pretty much wraps up our coverage for this week. We have a couple special surprises in store next week, but that’s all the information I’m allowed to share with you at this time. Have a great weekend and make sure to stop back by the blog on Monday. If you have any questions or concerns over the weekend, email james@haulix.com. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Haulix Weekly Update #5: Here Comes Mobile

Hello, everyone! Another work week has come and gone, leaving us with a slew of new updates to share with all of you. I expect this update to be a bit longer than usual, so let’s cut right to the chase…

HAULIX MOBILE IS COMING! Yes, you read that right. After reading requests from every corner of the music industry we finally started developing a mobile version of Haulix earlier this week in order to offer journalists better access to promotional materials on the go. This process will take some time to complete, but seeing as this is one of our most requested updates I figured a little news was better than nothing.

Continuing with product updates, we just launched a new background process that scans your contact lists and searches for invalid email accounts. If it finds invalid accounts, it lists them in a group on your Contacts screen highlighted in bold red. It is then up to you to fix the email addresses or remove them from your list. We’re also in the process of putting the finishing touches on an Email Activity screen that will show you the status of your email invitations (eg. Opens, Unsubscribes, Bounces, Deliveries). Expect more details in the coming weeks.

As far as the blog is concerned the past few days have been like any other. Each day a new feature is posted, and each afternoon we do whatever we are able to promote said efforts. In case you missed a post, here’s a rundown of every feature we ran this week:

We’ll be back on Monday with another tale from insider the music industry. Until then, stay safe and cause as much trouble as humanly possible without getting arrested. Life is for the living.
