How to Create an Amazon Music Pre-Save for Your Album Release with Sonikit

Why Pre-Saves Are Essential for Your Album Campaign

In today's streaming-driven music industry, pre-saves are a crucial part of any successful album release campaign. By allowing fans to pre-save your upcoming release, you ensure that your music appears in their library the moment it drops, increasing your chances of strong first-day streaming numbers and algorithmic playlist placements.

While many artists focus only on Spotify pre-saves, it's important to include all major streaming platforms—especially Amazon Music. With Amazon Music's rapidly growing user base, ensuring your fans can pre-save your album on their preferred platform is key to maximizing your reach and engagement.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to create an Amazon Music pre-save using Sonikit, your all-in-one music marketing platform. Sonikit offers two pre-save options: embedded pre-saves for your website and standalone landing page countdowns.

How to Create an Embedded Amazon Music Pre-Save with Sonikit

An embedded pre-save allows you to add a pre-save widget directly to your website, keeping your fans engaged without redirecting them elsewhere. Follow these steps to create an embedded pre-save for your upcoming album:

1. Navigate to the "Embeds" section of your Sonikit dashboard.

2. Click the "Create Embed" button.

3. Select "Pre-save" from the available action options.

4. Enter your release details, including:

   • Release date

   • Release time

   • Whether the release time is global (same time for everyone) or local (released at the specified time in each fan's local timezone).

5. Choose whether to enable NextSave, Sonikit’s feature that automatically pre-saves all upcoming releases from the same artist.

6. Add streaming services:

   • If you already have a UPC or URL for your release, enter it, and Sonikit will automatically fetch your album from all available services, including Amazon Music.

   • If your release hasn’t been delivered yet, select manual entry to upload album art and choose which services to include.

7. Click Save.

8. After saving, click the "Edit" link on your newly created embed, then go to the "Embed" tab to copy your embed code.

9. Paste the embed code into your website to make your pre-save live.

1. Navigate to the "Landing Pages" section of your Sonikit dashboard.

2. Click the "New Page" button.

3. Enter a title for your landing page and set a custom subdomain.

4. Choose the "Pre-save Countdown" template.
