Merchandise/other marketing opportunities

Most companies or music companies especially, will advertise their music videos through things for example they may do this through advertising a new perfume and the music will be the newly released song or they'll use snippets of the music video so that people get a little 'sneak peak'

Marketing opportunities


However another way of marketing the music video may be through sticking it on the radio and it being labelled as new and top of the charts etc, in order to allow it to receive a positive entrance to the market. An easy way to advertise or market a song before it is released entirely to the public may be through the radio due to it being able to hit an audience widely in a quick time frame. 

However now that technology has developed the most necessary and effective way of marketing is through social media, for example Twitter and Facebook. They may set up pages and advertise themselves as people are able to share, retweet, favourite and make it viral with each other to allow it to end up reaching a larger world wide audience. 

Another way is social media accounts of the artist actually uploading a link of the song onto their twitter etc so that people click on it as its already there instead of searching for it themselves. This would be more of an effective way as it's coming from the artist, meaning that it is more than likely that the audience would be more interested by them posting it than if a music page was to share it.

Other marketing opportunities could also be reaching out to music blogs. Therefore people interested in your genre who look at music blogs may be the first to see this and it may reach audiences not usually reached which would be a positive, also vlogs as well as they could display the music video or audio.

Merchandise 

There is also another option of merchandise to create a profit once the music video is created, there is various ways in which merchandise can be created and then distributed. Some ways that it may be distributed could be through a concert as people are likely to purchase something and buy it whilst they're there to see someone or a performance. For this reason merchandise is usually sold at concerts or in a shop afterwards. There are various types of merchandise. T-shirts could be created, key rings, hats, posters or maybe even just a CD of the song. 

Here are some of the kinds of merchandise that is created at music concerts etc...

These kind of merchandise is the kind of merchandise you'd see being sold at a concert. The  typically things to be seen at a concert or at a similar event like a music festival or a show. They all tend to sell personalised items with the band/artist or name on the items so that it is personalised to them. This is done so that people buy it as memories and to remind themselves of them the event they've been to.

She performs every now and then in her see through suit where she dances and its quicker shots. Whereas when she’s walking on the plane its longer shots and slower crops, the shot on the plane tells more of a narrative. She is sexualised throughout the whole of the music video; however, some parts are more sexualised than others are. Shown by the costumes she is in and also movements, she is quite confident and out there, giving her a powerful image. Although the plane is filled with men she is dominant over them. Lyrics - Helps tell the story or give a general feeling or mood. Don...
