Your vote. Your music. Your future.

Last year, with your help, Promo Only took the prestigious International Dance Music Awards' (IDMA) Best Record Pool honor for the third consecutive year. With that award came greater access for us -- and you -- to more music, access that last year translated into our ability to offer you weekly delivery and the convenience of drag & drop audio and video files.

This year, we're pleased to announce that we've been nominated once again. We're hoping to make it four for four and maintain our reputation with the record labels as the industry's premier promotional service, and to further our ability to offer you even greater service.  But we need your help.

"We're coming into this red hot this year," says Pete Werner, our co-founder and executive program director. "Thanks to our head of promotions, Cary Vance and all the hard-working people at Promo Only Promotions, we proud to say that we've been responsible for every #1 Dance record of 2009."

"And beyond," adds Vance. "Ninety consecutive weeks of #1s says a lot about what Promo Only can do for the artists and labels we represent, and for the subscribers we serve."

"What we don't want to happen is for our subscribers and friends to assume that we're a shoe-in," continues Vance. "We need your vote if we're to continue to break new ground and offer new services."

The categories are…

Category 35 – Best Independent Record Promotion/Marketing:  Cary Vance & John Suraci – Promo Only Promotions

Category 38 – Best Record Pool - Promo Only
