Filed Under Industry News, Music Retail News, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I stumbled upon an article on billboard biz and thought it contains useful information that could affect how we market the music industry.
It says that four out of five independent music store customers cite a recommendation of a friend as being an important factor in a purchase.This is based on a survey conducted by the Association of Independent Music Stores (AIMS). The online survey queried 1,067 consumers from AIMS stores around the country about the spending habits, concert-going frequency and relationship with the stores. Seeing a live performance was also cited by 80% of those surveyed. Only 39% cited radio as being important in their purchase decisions while newspapers and television were cited by 16% and 15%, respectively.
