Recovering the lost music revenue
Posted on May 19, 2009 at 7:08 am
Billboard.biz crunches the numbers on the music industry’s $162 million revenue gap this year and offers some thoughts on how add-ons and innovative song groupings can help.
The album format will continue to slide in popularity, but well-marketed bundles can provide small, incremental revenue gains. Those gains can be achieved by improving the quality of bundles, finding alluring product mixes to present as bundles, and continuing to enlist the help of retailers to push bundles over individual track sales.
Another way to make up those lost sales? Have 10 million listen to Web radio for six and a half hours a day for the next year. Not gonna happen, is it?
