How It Works
Haulix is an online web platform used to manage promotional media between record labels and their media contacts.
- Record label uploads a digital promo with attached accessories
- Media contacts are managed and invited by way of email to download the promo
- Media contact clicks a link in the invitation and is automatically sent to the promo's web page
- Media contact consumes promo and in turn writes about it and/or promotes it
- Record label tracks media contact actions and promo consumption
- Record label saves money that would of normally been spent on mailing out physical promos
Promo

Media Contacts
A media contact is a person that consumes your promos.

Invitations
A promo invitation is an email you send out that links your contacts to your promos.
One-Click Access We realize some of our fellow media contacts oppose digital promos versus receiving
physical packages in the mail. Long promo account registration forms and login/passwords
just add to the frustrations. To make the promo consumption process as smooth and
easy as possible, we employ our One-Click Promo Access system. When you create your
digital promo and mail out your email invitations, Haulix generates an intelligent
link inside the email, that when clicked by your media contacts, will automatically
register and log them in so that they can download your promo, automatically. With
no registration or login pages, this system makes the promo download process as
quick and painless as possible, so your contacts can spend less time consuming your
promos and more time doing what they do best, writing about your artists!

Tracking allows you to monitor the actions of your media contacts and administrators.

Account Hibernation We understand there can be long periods of downtime in between releases. Why pay
for services you don't use or worse yet, cancel your account and have to re-register
when there are new releases everytime? With Haulix, you can temporarily shut your
account down at any time; what we call Account Hibernation. During Account Hibernation,
your normal subscription fee is withheld. We charge a small $5 USD per month fee
to store your data and back it up daily. You will continue to have access to your
Watermarking Check Tool and all Reports throughout the Hibernation period. You can
Un-Hibernate your account at any time with just a few clicks. All account features
will be available instantly, the $5 fee goes away and your normal subscription fee
is re-enabled.
Security & Performance
We take the security of your artists' music and your personal data seriously.
