Winn Claybaugh's MASTERS Audio Club Now Available in Downloadable Digital Format
by MASTERS Audio Club on 1/27/2011
For the first time, MASTERS Audio Club, the monthly audio program featuring interviews, success secrets, and business-building presentations by the absolute best leaders in and out of the beauty industry, is now available in digital audio format.
Winn Claybaugh, founder and host of MASTERS Audio Club says, “Our subscribers asked us to go digital so they can download and listen to MASTERS on their iPods and other digital audio players. I’m thrilled to announce that new subscribers can now choose between traditional CDs and our new MP3 format, and they can download many of our archived interviews in either format, as well.”
According to a 2010 report from the Pew Research Center, nearly half of the American adults surveyed (47%) own an MP3 player. By recognizing the growing trend and meeting their customers’ demand, MASTERS leads the way in becoming a tech-savvy member of the beauty industry.
“We’re also very proud to be going green,” Claybaugh says. “I take very seriously my responsibility to be a steward of this planet, and going digital with MASTERS is great way to help eliminate non-reusable materials and packaging. I’m also happy that we can help people save money in the current economy.” The digital MASTERS sell for $9.95, compared to $12.95 for the CDs, and interviews can be purchased individually or as an ongoing monthly subscription.
Claybaugh has interviewed over 325 icons for MASTERS to date, including beauty industry luminaries like Vidal Sassoon, Yosh Toya, Sam Brocato, Robert Lobetta, Trevor Sorbie, Vivienne Mackinder, Robert Cromeans, David Wagner, James Morrison, and many other NAHA winners, salon owners and stylists, makeup artists, and estheticians. The MASTERS archives also include leading experts in health, fitness, business, networking, and relationships.
All of the 2009 and 2010 MASTERS are now available in digital audio format, including new interviews with Paul Mitchell Co-owner Angus Mitchell, NAHA winners Ruth Roche and Chris Sorbie, Olympic gold medalist Peter Vidmar, fitness expert Chalene ("Turbo Jam") Johnson, Biggest Loser chef Devin Alexander, and other leaders in and out of the beauty industry.
