What happens to the site and the community after the campaign ends?

What happens to a Studio site, its community and its fan purchases once a campaign closes, why teams leave the Studio running, and how a takedown affects sales already reported.

Written by Andrea Torres

The site stays up, and every fan keeps everything they bought. Ending a campaign never removes a purchase from a fan's library.

What we recommend

We recommend leaving the Studio running between campaigns. Fans keep visiting, the community stays warm, and your next rollout starts with a fan base you have already built. There is a practical benefit too. A live storefront that is already approved does not need approving again, so your next campaign can move faster.

What changes when a campaign closes

New fans can no longer buy the release, and exclusives tied to the campaign may close. Fans who already bought keep their access to everything they purchased or unlocked.

If the album moves to streaming

Fans can keep streaming the music wherever it goes wide. The exclusive offers and special access from the campaign window may no longer be available on the Studio, so say so clearly in your fan communications.

If you take the release down

Everyone who bought during the campaign keeps their access. The release itself stops being visible, and nobody can buy it any more. Sales you already submitted for a chart reporting period are not withdrawn.

Archiving

You can archive a Studio if you want to. Archiving is not the default, and you do not need it to close a campaign.
