Neurotic Media to Power Hastings Entertainment Downloads Store

Neurotic Media, the leading provider of private-label digital media
download services today announced the signing of Hastings Entertainment
to Amplified Stores, Neurotic Media’s hosted downloads service. The
upcoming Hastings Entertainment downloads store will feature
pre-licensed multimedia catalogs from major and indie labels –
including music MP3s and WMAs, online music video downloads, and
ringtones and wallpapers that are delivered to customers’ mobile
phones. The service will also support mobile product text-to-shortcode
ordering. The Hastings download store is slated for a July launch as
part of a broader website re-design by Hastings Entertainment.

According
to Hastings’ Director of E-Commerce, Owen Marmaduke, “Hastings
Entertainment has always strived to offer consumers a holistic approach
to media. We recognize that the rising demand for digital media is
causing consumers to look for digital solutions outside of our physical
presence. We are working with Neurotic Media to ensure that our
customers’ online experience is consistent with our in-store multimedia
experience. This will allow us to compete with digital-only brands
effectively by leveraging our strongest assets: brick & mortar
locations and an established, trusted and highly-valued brand.”

“We
are thrilled to be supporting a leading brand like Hastings
Entertainment,” said Josh Gertz, Executive Vice President at Neurotic
Media. “Hastings is recognized by consumers as a complete source of
entertainment goods. We believe that our unique convergence of audio,
video and mobile products and services will reinforce and enhance the
Hastings Entertainment brand.”
