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.

Semiotics Theory by Barthes

The Theory Semiotic theory is the study of signs and symbols by a man named Roland Barthes. He researched how an audience views and interprets a piece of media. He believed that audiences looked for signs to help them understand the narrative of the media being presented. The signs are based on expectations that the audiences had due to how society believe in myths and old tales. The signs are a connotation, so a word, an image, a sound etc. Denotation is what it means literally, so for example, the word cat signifies an animal that meows or when marketing a business may use a logo with the name featured. Over time though the symbol within the logo will be the only thing that is needed as the symbol itself is recognisable and has more meaning. An example of where this has been done is for Nike. There is the logo, so the Nike tick, with the word Nike or there is the logo tick with the slogan 'Just do it'. However, where the brand has become more recognisable, Nike are...
