50 to 250 CDs
🚐 Going On Tour?
250 to 500 CDs
🏪 Selling Through Shops?
500+ CDs
💡 Most artists underestimate how many they'll sell.
Fans love physical merchandise.
Especially signed copies.
💰 Why Ordering CDs Is Still Worth It In 2026
Many artists focus entirely on streaming.
But CDs remain one of the most profitable products you can sell.
Consider this:
🎵 10,000 Spotify streams might generate only a modest amount of income.
📀 Selling 10 CDs at a gig could generate significantly more revenue.
That's why so many independent artists continue investing in physical media.
Streaming helps people discover you.
DiskCrafters helps you give those fans something to buy.
