Distribution staff in the music industry work to make records available to the public. Their job involves getting records into various types of retail outlet. The work of distribution staff is increasingly based on the internet. Along with accessing conventional shops and online retail, distribution staff workers now ensure music is downloadable legally.
Distribution staff work as the link between the record company and the retailer. They ensure that a newly released record is available for consumers to buy in the shops on the release date. Independent record labels use independent distributors who contact retailers to get their products into the shops.
