Digital Marketing: The savior of the music industry
Musicians in Utah who actually want to make money off of their talents in this digital age are fearing for their livelihoods. The internet monsters have set their sites on the music industry and with unlimited resources and unwavering intentions, Google, Facebook and Apple will soon take over.
The music industry is already under pressure in the digital age with the ease of access and affordability of new music at an all time high, making it harder than ever to survive in the business. Musicians in Utah and across the nation's only hope to keep afloat is to make money the old fashioned way.
Touring and merchandise sales have long provided the largest chunk of income for musicians themselves. Now, with income generated from album sales quickly becoming a thing of the past, most musicians aside from the superstars like Bieber, won't make any significant income off their album sales. Smaller market bands will be forced to rely on the money they make on tour to survive in the business.
This is making digital marketing more and more important for musicians in Utah. They need to get people to buy tickets, they've got to sell out venues and they need the fans to support their music through merchandise sales. Digital marketing can help them do this.
The way people buy music may be changing faster than the seasons in Utah, but the way they watch a concert will always be the same. People will still gather their friends and buy tickets to go out for a good time and a good show the same way they always have. The only challenge then lies in getting these people to know who these bands are.
Digital marketing can get musician's music and image out to the masses. By investing in digital marketing these smaller market bands can appeal to a niche market and generate a significant fan base. Musicians can use the power of the companies taking over the music industry to fatten their wallets, even if it's not through album sales.
The changing landscape of the music industry will make it more exhausting to survive in the business with an increasing emphasis on touring and live shows, but by utilizing digital marketing and generating a fan base that will come out to see new bands, musicians in Utah and all over America will continue to survive and push musical horizons into the future.
