3MUSIC MARKETING 343MARKETING ACTION PLANOVERVIEW OF PRODUCTFor this Assignment my product is that I would be selling myself to make beats for people who require this for their lyrics, songs, advertisements, films, etc. I have picked this product because I am good at it and I love making beats. I would be looking to sell my product to anyone who is interested. This gives me a huge range of customers so I am not limited. I would aim to advertise on social media.
All the usual platforms…To begin with i will make a few different types of beats – some which could be used for songs, some perhaps in adverts and films. I would use different genres. These would be on soundcloud so people and hopefully future customers and listen to them to get a taste of what I can create.TARGET AUDIENCEMy product is not based at a specific target except those in need of beats to go with lyrics/songs.The audience can be young or old and require any time of genre of music.MARKETINGBelow is an example of text and images I would use on social media sites to promote myself.I would also print some leaflets and business cards and go to places to listen to bands and singers.
Whilst there I would try to talk to people and hand out my flyers. JCW BEATSThe world at your ears…..
