Hi Croydon, sorry for the late reply, phones not been working. Yeah I agree about not spending the money on prime time advertising. Still think the advertising at the pay per view boxing nights would be a good avenue to promote the product. When Michael Buffer does the sponsors stub hub etc, the walkout songs could be sponsored by Napster and the logo on the ropes.

JD

The same business that JS is. That’s enough for tonight :) 1 nil Hungary.

Napster needs to be seen as the cool app. What differentiates JD Sports from its competitors is the fact they’re cool, “King of trainers”, “I am JD” etc. I feel Napster are going to be serious they need to follow the same business model. If the JD sports CEO joined Napster there would be great chance of it turning into a multi billion pound business is. They have the product now they need the right marketing.

Watched around the world. This is not a ramp either. I would rather the share price was low if going to buy more shares.

The share price is what it is. The potential is still huge for such a product to offer music streaming and live gigs in one app. It’s all about the marketing now once the app is released. Just watching the England game now and thinking of a Napster advert before kick off or half time, the amount of exposure to a fantastic product. Another place where I would like to see Napster advertised is at all the big boxing nights . This is something that JD Sports has capitalised on so well over the last few years watched by millions around the walls with the logo on the ropes and the corners. I think it’s the perfect platform for Napster too. So much that this company could be with the right people guiding this there.

Thought with gigs back on the cards, Napster would be making a move to showcase the product ahead of launch.

If the UK roadmap goes to plan, Napster Group will be in a unique position to unleash the new platform to the public timing with a summer of festivals and gigs and a good mood around the country.

Melody alone was valued on the exchange at £70-80 million before Napster, it’s now valued below £50 million with Napster. It’s a value share now, even if there is the possibility it goes to £40 million. Investors will be looking at what will propel the share price and looking at the timing of the marketing campaign and app launch.

The step now is for Napster to completely rebrand itself. Follow the likes of JD Sports who catapulted into a multi billion pound business with their ‘King Of Trainers’ marketing and Netflix were in the doldrums for years. You need someone at the helm to market this company as the one stop place for all music and to have consumer appeal. Changing the logo might be one of the first things.

Yeah but the market value now is around £100 million with the new shares.

Now imagine if the subscription had already been in place when the LG gig was announced. On the back of that you might have had 50-100k+ subscribers. Forget the tit for tat we’re all in this together on the same page, everyone’s got a different opinion. You pay LG the flat fee with access to keep the show on the platform. Then future regular shows will keep subscribers and grow the numbers.

That’s it lordfont allow all the subscribers to see it. The reason I’m mentioning Netflix is because they saw a rapid expansion on the back of tv shows and documentaries to just having movies. Now Melody/Napster are looking for the same model with multiple offerings on one platform.

Netflix subscribers growth -

2005 - 3.6 million
2010 - 20 million
2015 - 74.76 million
2020 - 195.15 million

Netflix is £7.99 a month, how many months have people gone without even watching anything? Then they release a top series or film every few weeks and people just keep the subscription.

Always thought it would be great if they followed the Netflix model. With over 100 million subscribers they can afford to pay top whack to the makers of the top shows and keep customers engaged. Now the Napster equivalent would pay the top artists for regular shows throughout the year and it would be part of the subscription. I believe charging extra for shows would disrupt the flow of growth, you need it all in one place. People want to pay one set fee and get their money’s worth for the month. So if they can get a start of 10 million subscribers at £9.99 a month then a top show each month plus all the music streaming and video content is a viable option and it would be like a snowball effect once the brand is out there.

Runfuddle I had the same abuse when I said 4.5p on open from suspension. Not heard much since.

Yes Puddin, those that suggested one million ticket sales and talked down to others suggesting more conservatives figures should maybe accept this is a board for all shareholders to express their own opinions. Look forward to the board working on their cross media platform in the coming year. They have the right industry personal and solid base to push forward.
