11 Acorn Lane Has Fun with Sales Reporting. Here's How.

When the holidays come around, we like to sit back and listen to 11 Acorn Lane, who came out with one of the coolest holiday albums ever.  Recently we got a chance to chat with 11 Acorn Lane about how they use the sales reporting in their TuneCore account, and how other independent artists can get the most out of the tool…

I am TuneCore because…

Their sales reports interface is super easy, super detailed and super useful.  It’s right there in your online account, on one single page. A seemingly simple little control panel that lets you find out almost anything about your sales, in seconds.  It’s a major league data manipulation tool, available to us and every single artist who distributes with TuneCore.

Now, in addition to showing you your iTunes trend data in your TuneCore account, we’re giving you your trend reports from Amazon MP3 and Spotify.   Awesome, right?
