The way we consume music and media is constantly changing. Streaming services may seem to diminish the need for physical products. Yet have drastically encouraged it. New methods of consuming music and media need evolving technologies and products. Streaming platforms have made media globally accessible. This has driven the demand for the huge variety of products needed to consume media.
The wide accessibility of music and media has driven the want and need for exclusivity. Whilst anyone can listen to a new album, not everyone can buy limited-edition merchandise. With social media platforms acting as marketing platforms, as well as eCommerce shopfronts. Creators can access and sell to wider audiences more than ever before. Streaming services may devalue the price of creative content. Many well-known artists earn more through merchandise, live performances and other creative outlets.
The music and media industry is still recovering from changes in technology and the aftermath of the pandemic. It’s more valuable than ever for artists and creators to understand how to bolster online sales.
eCommerce offers creators the opportunity to reach and interact with global consumers at a greatly reduced cost. This is truer for creative media than for many other industries, because music and media, like the Internet, are worldwide in nature. Music and media eCommerce fulfilment can lower transaction costs for product sales whilst accessing a greater number of buyers and sellers. With such diversity in creative media, the technology we use to consume it and the merchandise to support our creators; efficient storage and processing are crucial to success. Whilst our tastes in music or film can be unpredictable, consumer expectations are far less temporary. Across the online retail industry, customers expect quick, accurate and secure delivery with an effortless returns process. This requires significant resources and efficiency in fulfilment to keep customers satisfied. Additionally, the customer experience of unboxing is now a key field of development for creators and companies to stand out. As a result, the way we package our creative products is more important than ever.
