Promotion – Marketing success?

What is in a brand name and what do they mean? Are you a Brand?  Do you simply sell a product, or can your clients relate to your product and product philosophy?
Clients need to have confidence in you and like to know that your company has a passion or belief – above all they need to know you are not simply in the game to make a quick profit and then disappear. Building a brand loyalty is paramount to continuing success.
A brand relies on continuity – customer support, email marketing, your company website – consumers expect service that is consistent across the board, from the tea boy to the CEO (you might be all of them) it is important everybody lives the brand.

First impressions mean everything and presenting a positive image is the top priority, you need to divulge as much information about your company as you can  – to make your clients feel at ease – as though they are your ‘friend’.

It can be argued that this has made the music industry more democratic, enabling individual musicians and artist to compete in the free download market. However, this surge for free content has diluted the industry, the purse is getting empty so artists are not getting paid a fair return for their efforts. It gets worse – websites that delivered free content (and some paid) are now disappearing as the general public now only downloaded the free stuff and not the paid tracks.  With the demise of the 7digital indiestore service shutting down on in September 2010 an avenue for the democratic production of paid for and free downloads by independent artists has closed. There are dozens of  other viable alternatives for free mp3 downloads out there but for how long?
