Abstract
It may not be what the industry wants to hear, but the mobile platform works
better as a marketing and customer relationship tool than it does as a retail
sales channel.
The Mobile Music report analyzes an industry' s continuing struggles to
find a path to profitability in the digital age.
Given consumers' reluctance to pay for music on their phones, marketers are
seeking new opportunities to partner directly with carriers, labels and even
music artists themselves.
In fact, direct deals between brands and bands are no longer anomalies, but
are part of a growing trend by both parties to bypass intermediaries and go
directly to customers.
eMarketer forecasts worldwide mobile music revenues will exceed $13 billion by
2012, up from $2.4 billion in 2007. Marketers will account for a greater
proportion of spending as the ad-supported model for mobile music gathers
steam.
Key questions the “Mobile Music” report answers:
- How big will mobile music grow worldwide by 2012?
- How big will the opportunity for ad-supported mobile music become?
- What types of campaigns are marketers trying with mobile music?
