The Inability Of Many Artists To Compete In The Music Industry Can Be Attributed To Marketing Errors

The inability of many talented music artists to compete in the music industry can be attributed to marketing errors. Music is a business, and marketing is the soul of any business. Like any other business, potential end users need to know your product in order for them to patronize you. If you have a good song that nobody hears, this song would never be a great song.

Getting your music to the target audience is important, and it needs to be done right to get the right results. Music marketing is just as important as making good music.

The African music industry has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few decades. The days when African music artistes were relegated to the background in the global scheme of things are gone.

Today, sounds from all over Africa are enjoying global attention. While this development calls for celebration, it also represents a call to action. Music marketing involves a strategic and sustained effort across multiple channels to promote a work or an artist.

Hyping / influencing is only part of music marketing, music marketing is much more than that. An effective music tagging campaign requires a multi-channel approach where results are backed up by numbers.
