Information products b became faster, f t smaller, ll andd cheaper. h • Information industries became convergent, competitive, and innovative. (Standard and Poor’s in Alleman, 2002)UUUJU 34 37 * We experienced: •The Internet crash •The dotcom bubble •The telecom crisis •The music bust •The newspaper death-rattle •The e-publishing stagnation 35 38 http://tech.nscdiscovery.org/newtech/jimmys_stuff/course_materials/PhotoShop_Course/11.%20Clouds.jpg 5 * We experienced: Marketing has always been important: •The PC sales drop •The wireless saturation g recession. •The advertising •The semi-conductor slump •The printing and paper decline •The IT venture capital slump • Old Hollywood saying: “There are no bad movies, only bad marketing campaigns.” • True? 42 •In this situation, how do information firms respond? •This is a challenge for strategists and technology gy creators. •And it is, in particular, the challenge to media marketers, to keep media companies afloat Distinguish the 2 Meanings of “Media Marketing” 1. Marketing of general products, using i media di 2. Marketing of media products themselves 40 • It is therefore not surprising that the role of marketers in media has expanded. 41 43 We will focus on the second meaning meaning, the marketing of media. 44 6 OUTLINE: Section A: Marketing Media Products I.

Marketing General 47 50 7 Firms can do both functions, or neither, or one or the other •No common agreement on term. Some very fancy definitions. But the nutshell is: Marketing: the process of creating a market for a firm’s products 51 * Distinguish “Marketing” from “Di ib i ” “Distribution” •Example for “marketing but no distribution”: many magazines subcontract distribution to specialists, but do the marketing themselves 55 * Distinguish “Marketing” from “Distribution” • Often confused with each other • Marketing is the creation of a market for the product • Distribution is the delivery of the product to that market •Example for “distribution but no marketing”: retail book chains for most of their book titles. - availability very little for marketing 53 8 •Example for both marketing and distribution: many newspapers do both marketing and distribution - they run their own trucks to wholesale or retailers - and they market that product to audience and advertisers Marketing goes historically back to the earliest markets when a seller tried to generate sales 57 Early Markets •Example for “neither” marketing nor distribution: Most independent film productions neither market nor distribute. 58 Marketing vs. Sales Marketing is the strategic and pplanningg function Sales function executes most of the strategy Kates, Amy and Jay Galbraith.

High fixed costs, low marginal costs 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Convergence of production Divergence in cost trends in value chain Accelerating returns Excess supp Network effects Non-normal distribution of demand Price deflation Intangibles Public goods Non-maximizers of profit Role of Government •126 I.3 How Does the Marketing of Media Products and Services Differ from Regular Marketing of Other Products? 124 Marketing of Media Products & Services • Many similarities to general marketing k i • But some special aspects 125 Special Aspects of Media Marketing • Low or zero marginal cost and high fixed cost means that customers cannot be charged a price that covers full cost. • Excess supply and competition then lead to price deflation down to marginal cost. 127 • Media products are therefore often given away rather than sold to identifiable users (broadcasting, free and online newspapers, website information). 128 20 • Often simultaneous “dual” marketing: • Content pitched to audiences for their attention • Audiences pitched to advertisers • Another consequence: • To maintain price level above competitive level: oligopoly • This means much less price competition, and more non-price competition, such as marketing efforts 129 • Special complicating factor: some media industries are in secular decline. • Daily circulation of American ne spapers dropped 2.5 newspapers 25 percent, to 45.5 million, in 2005/6. Bosman, Julie. “Online Newspaper Ads Gaining Ground On Print.” The New York Times. 6, Jun. 2006 130 130 <http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/06/business/media/06adco.html> • From 1950-2000 penetration in US declined from 38% to 24% of the population • Circulation increased 19%, but population up 70% 131 132 Special Aspects of Media Marketing • Low marginal costs and high fixed cost also mean: • Strong economics of scale • This creates incentives for investment in marketing ahead or market 133 Changing Distribution Technology • Creates numerous new distribution channels • Creates fragmentation of markets 134 21 Especially high Uncertainty and Instability of Demand The Long Tail • Content moving away from mass audience • This Thi “l “long ttail” il” arises i from f distribution, especially internet • Thin audiences Chris Anderson. “The Long Tail.” Wired Magazine Issue 12.10 (2004) • Users often do not know, or articulate, or communicate well their preferences for content. • Many products are "Experience goods” which are hard to sample in advance by consumers. 135 • “If we release twenty-eight films, we need to create twenty-eight different audiences, twenty-eight different marketing campaigns.” Epstein, Edward Jay, “The Big Picture, The New Logic of Money and Power in 136 Hollywood,” New York: E.J.E. Publications, Ltd., Inc., 2005 http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/14/72/70m.jpg 138 Non-Normal Distribution of Demand • Skewed distribution of success • Top five products across all media segments can generate between bet een oneone and two-thirds of revenues, although they represent just 1 to 2 percent of the total number of products released. 139 Aris, Annet, “Value-Creating Management of Media Companies: Chapter 5”, McKinsey & Company, Inc., 2003 * • Compared to 1998, fewer than half the new releases make it to the bestsellers lists, reach the top of audience rankings, g , or win a platinum disc. • In 1965, 80% of women aged 18 to 34 could be effectively reached with three TV ads. • By 2000, 97 ads were needed. http://www.bizjar.com/images/main/aram_tv.jpg Aris, Annet, “Value-Creating Management of Media Companies”, McKinsey & Company, Inc., Chapter 8, 2003 137 Aris, Annet, “Value-Creating Management of Media Companies: Chapter 5”, McKinsey & Company, Inc., 2003 140 22 • In TV, only about a quarter of new shows survive beyond their debut season, whereas in the mid1980s,, about a third managed g at least a second season (US network TV, prime-time). • Another consequence: Attempts at customer “lock-in” • Many sales are for long-term subscription arrangements • cable TV • telecom, wireless • ISPs • Magazines • DVD Services • book clubs Aris, Annet, “Value-Creating Management of Media Companies: Chapter 5”, McKinsey & Company, Inc., 2003 http://tell.fll.purdue.edu/JapanProj/FLClipart/Nouns/Things/TV.gif 141 • Commercial lifespan of a media product is time-sensitive. • Some minimum scale for efficiently promoting and exhibiting a new film, film • Limit on the number of films that can be pitched in the market at one time Source: Caves, Richard E. Creative Industries: Contracts Between Art and Commerce. 142 Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2000 * • Often short product cycle, short marketing window (for films often only 1-2 weeks) 143 144 Special Aspects of Media Marketing: Intangible Products • Hard to prevent piracy • Can’t compete with “free” • Because of increasingly easy piracy, media companies’ price levels are collapsing 145 Special Aspects of Media Marketing: Strong “network effects” • Preferences of users are often shaped by the usage of others • demand for some products depends on supply of other products •DVD players depends on supply of DVD (discs) which depends on number of other DVD player buyers. 146 23 I.4 The Attention Budget Special Aspects of Media Marketing: Network Effects • Often fad-driven • Often hit-driven 147 http://users.rcn.com/copley.ma.ultranet/StereoNE/3D%20audence%20LIFE%20500h.JPG 150 http://www.appraisal-smart.com/multi%20tasking.jpg * • For these and other reasons, marketing is particularly important in the media and information field. • And particularly difficult 148 Special Aspect of Media Marketing: Excess Supply • Huge and growing number of competing products • In the U.S., 70,000 new book titles each year • 28,000 28 000 different magazines • 500 full time simultaneous TV channels • Millions of online sites • Tens of thousands of new songs • 400 new theatrical films • Plus already existing content, aggregated over decades and centuries 151 Special Aspects of Media Marketing • But perhaps the most significant special aspect of marketing of media to audiences: a huge excess supply • Competing for consumer’s time/attention budget, not only money budget b d t http://www.shkaminski.com/Classes/images/Attention.gif 149 152 http://www.shkaminski.com/Classes/images/Attention.gif 24 Abundance- Advertising Abundance- Magazines 153 156 www.winterhouse.com/vancouver/10-magazine-rack.jpg http:// Source: http://www.signindustry.com/led/articles/2002-07-30-LBledBillboards.php3 * Abundance- Books •The more efficient the distribution technology, the greater this overabundance, overabundance (even without the rapid increase in content production). 154 157 http://www.glcc.org/ThingsToDo/pics/bookstore.jpg • In 1960, the mass media supplied to an average American household was about 3 million words per day (including unwatched TV, unread papers unlistened radio, papers, radio etc.) etc ) • By 1980, this figure had increased by 267% to 11 million words. • By 2000, risen to 75 million words Abundance- TV 155 158 http://www.september11news.com/Oct7thLondonCanBushTV7.jpg 25 • Estimate of the annual growth rates of business information is 12%; 8% for scientific information;; and 5% for entertainment. • All growth numbers are accelerating. 159 • These three elements have to exist in some relation to each other. • In the past, the three stages of information grew slowly and more or less in tandem. • More recently, the parallel trends diverged. This has serious implications. 162 • The real problem is not production of information, and certainly not distribution, but rather its consumptions. 163 The Information Processing Capacity • Communications process consists of three major and interactive stages: t • Production of information • Distribution • Consumption 161 • The fast-growing content production and the hugely growing distribution, meet attention tt ti that th t is i hardly h dl growing i 164 26 Human Capacity 165 http://www.biawa.org/images/humanbr ain gif Limits to Human Information Handling and Processing •Classic study found an average g person p cannot deal well with more than seven pieces of information in their mind at a single time (Miller, 1956) 166 • other research has shown that a person will on average have difficulty integrating information if facts arrive faster than one every three minutes, in a sustained way. (Dennis, 1996) • sustainable reading speeds which include comprehension of the information and its absorption, are about 50 bits/sec. • speed of speaking and of listening comprehension are somewhat slower and universal. • Universality of these ceilings indicates that the constraints are in coding and decoding them mentally. 168 Human Processing Capacity •Single-peaked curve (Taylor, 1984). •With With both light and heavy loads, processing is low. • Boredom and information overload create low/processing cognitive rate. 169 Processing Capability Boredom Overload Information Load http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/fractals/collect/2000/time%2520out.jpg 167 170 27 • Provide entertainment content • Dotcom company CyberGold was such an attempt - it paid money and coupons to consumers to watch online ads 171 A. Strategies to Gain Attention 174 2. Add Time Allocation • (spend more time on informational activities) 3. Increase attention time • Coffee, pharmaceutical entrances http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/classes/FrameSet.aspx?&UQR=nfoagi&pk=4&source=fron t&lightboxView=1&txtSearch=attention&selImageType=7&chkLicensed=on&chkRoyaltyFree=on 172 1. Pay for Attention 175 4. Multi-tasking • Consumers could be paid directly for reading advertisement or providing their demographics • Money, Money campaigns campaigns, as discounts • But most efforts to structure such a system have failed for now • Consumers can be “paid” by entertainment content provided for free 173 28 6. Information Screening The compression of information • editing down of masses of facts • “The The Value-Added Value Added is the Information Subtracted” 5.

Belch & Michael A. Belch, “Advertising and Promotion: An Integrated Marketing Communications Perspective,” Fourth Edition, 1998, Irwin/McGraw-Hill Setting Objectives • Most critical step in the promotional planning process: set realistic objectives. • Budgeting and media strategies and tactics evolve from these objectives • To be effective, objectives must be realistic and attainable. 757 George E. Belch & Michael A. Belch, “Advertising and Promotion: An Integrated Marketing Communications Perspective,” Fourth Edition, 1998, Irwin/McGraw-Hill • Advertising objectives should be stated in terms of concrete and measurable communications tasks, specify a target audience, indicate a benchmark starting point and the degree of change sought, and specify a time period for accomplishing the objective(s). 758 George E. Belch & Michael A. Belch, “Advertising and Promotion: An Integrated Marketing Communications Perspective,” Fourth Edition, 1998, Irwin/McGraw-Hill 125 Setting Objectives: Example • Time Period: Six Months • Objective 1: Create awareness among 90% of target audience • Objective 2: Create interest in the brand among 70% of target audience. • Objective 3: Create positive feelings about the brand among 40% and preference among 25% of the target audience, etc. 1. Establish desired target. – Assume potential target market of 50 mil – Estimate target audience share= 8% – Audience of 4 mil desired 759 George E. Belch & Michael A. Belch, “Advertising and Promotion: An Integrated Marketing Communications Perspective,” Fourth Edition, 1998, Irwin/McGraw-Hill • T-Mobile decides to focus on TV and newspaper advertisement. • It allocates $500,000 for its p g campaign • The result is 10-fold increase in the number of subscribers in a 6 month period 762 1.

Example for Objectives: Promotion of a New Film 761 • 2 advertising exposures to get 4%, etc • That means, for an 8 % yield, 4 exposures of target population of 50 mil are required • 50 mil = 17% of US pop. 764 126 • It might be more profitable to do only minimal TV advertising, get only 2% of target population, population but at a small cost. 1. Determine numbers of Gross Rating Points that need to be bought bought. • 4 exposures × 17 % of US pop. = 68 GRP 765 (Cont.) 1. Determine the needed advertising budget • E.g. g 1 GRP nationally/HH y size • = per capita CPM ×target pop 1000 • $13 × 50, 000 = $650, 000 • 68 GRP =$44.2 mil 766 768 • Company would have to reduce budget to point where marginal expenditure = marginal revenue • Depends on productivity of advertising 769 Would That Advertising Expenditure Be Worth It? • 4 mil audiences × $5.00 box office share of distributor • expected revenues : = $20mil. • This is less than the cost advertising of the campaign, which is $44.2 mil. • Therefore, revenues from after-markets would have to be the substantial to overcome the gap, (consider also added distribution and promotional expenses). 767 127 5. Quantitative Model Approach • Use research data to estimate parameters in the models • Quantitative models to estimate consumer behavior. • Sophisticated versions of the objective and task approach Cravens, Hills, Woodruff . Marketing Management..1987, Pages 514-520 • While these models could potentially change the way companies will allocate their advertising dollars, most are theoretical and make a lot of assumptions. • They cannot be applied easily in real world situations 771 774 http://ideas.repec.org/p/wpa/wuwpio/0511008.html • Statistical techniques such as multiple regression analysis to determine the relative contribution of the advertising budget to sales. 772 George E. Belch & Michael A.
