Dear Gopal,This venture has potential and is dreamy !!! My two cents...Marketing/Distribution :Apple iTunes music store. 
Other online music stores - Real (Rhapsody), NapsterOnline radios like Yahoo! LAUNCHcast
A comprehensive website with latest news/releasesFM stations in indiaAffiliate or establish a merchandise online store (one for India and one for USA/Europe/other)
Pricing:The products should have a relatively low price compared to other brands
Should be affordable by everyone !Should take into consideration the new formats that will be implemented in the audio industry (5.1 channel audio!?...not sure about this)
Best would be iTunes :-) 0.99 $ a song !I am planning to establish a merchandize store on Y! Stores or Cafepress. I will be working on it over the christmas break. Lets see how it works out... Thanks to everyone involved in this project and I wish them all the best ! I have started dreaming :)

  Music of unreleased films, 
  Background music, 
  Singles,
  Concerts,
  Exclusive promotional material.

Seems all problems solved altogether! Sounds interesting! :-)

My ideas on the traditional ways of music distribution (ACD, VCD, Audio DVD, Video DVDs etc.) This will be option for 
this.

1. Marketing / Promotion / Publicity


  Through the stores like Planet M and Music World. (Simple contracts make it easy)
  Through the Internet site / group, this will be completely dedicated to this thing alone.
  Advertisements in newspapers, magazenes etc.
  Advertisements on music channels like MTV, Channel [V], B4U Music, etc.
  Advertisements on radio channels like Radio Mirchi etc.
  And of course, mouth publicity - the traditional way.


    IMPORTANT: Never say die. Other labels are always
'out of stock' maybe because they don't have ARR's blessings. :-)
    If the production and inlay graphics are of
'international standards' and of 'awesome' 'great' and 'wow' quality,
then do not worry at all.

2. Distribution


  Through stores like Planet M and Music World, (others who have chain distribution system can be added too).
  Through the Internet site / group, this will be completely dedicated to this thing alone.
  Through local music distributors for different regions.

    
3. Pricing

    Take into consideration that:

  Most of the fans are young and students. In simple words: They don't earn.
  More and more such young and students are turning die-hard fans.
  MP3s and other free modes of music are accessible easily.

    Still:

  A fan should feel that he's paying the justifiable amount.
  Should be worthy.

These all are rough ideas. Don't know how it will make a difference. Keep in faith. God is great!

I'm happy today! :-)

Hey Gops
That's really fabulous. I think first up Rahman's
famous photographs must be patented or must be
legalised in some way so that it's not used in the
wrong places.
Thanks

Rajab

[arr] Seeking your ideas for ARR

2005-12-03 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Dear Fellow ARR Fans,

I am excited to share with you an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution 
to ARR and his
music.

Some very close associates of ARR are on the verge of launching a music label 
exclusively for
ARR's music. This label has ARR's blessings. The objective of the people behind 
this venture is
to provide ARR's music the visibility and reach it deserves and hope to bring 
to us fans the
music of unreleased films, background music, singles, concerts and exclusive 
promotional
material.

The role that we can play here is to come up with constructive ideas on how 
such a venture can
be shaped in terms of

1. Marketing/ Promotion / Publicity
2. Distribution
3. Pricing.

Your ideas can make a difference and help take more of ARR's music to more 
people around the
world and give it the appreciation and success it deserves.

Please respond to this message with your ideas, thoughts and questions. I would 
compile them and share them with the
concerned people.

Thanks,
Gopal.
