SACD Introduction Pricing Strategy

SACD Introduction Pricing Strategy

If the 16 times more sample rate of the SACD as compared to the current Compact Disc and the high decibel rate of the SACD create a really noticeable better sound, the SACD probably will have a long shelf life (It will be around for a long time).

We all know that these Discs are relatively inexpensive to mass produce and if we flood the market with Greatest Hits compilations, say about 100 artist for SACD agree to put out a Greatest Hits SACD for comparison purposes as well as a profit from work already done, this will ignite the SACD production machine to go into full mass production.

Now do we introduce this new technological breakthrough at higher prices as compared to the dinosaur Compact Disc or do we show confidence in the new technology and its anti-piracy capabilities and sell them at a lower price?

Personally, I would be interested in purchasing Super Audio Compact Discs if they were introduced to the market at sales prices. If I was the record industry it would be my hope that once again many artists will be able to register 5 to 10 million copies multi platinum sales. The way to do this is to sell many copies at a low price rather than sell a few at high prices which would be the chemistry for failure.

I would not make the same mistake as the New Generation of DVD’s and charge 50%+ more for the product, on the contrary I would go from what I think is the recording industry standard of a SRP $16.99 to a SRP of $10.99 and reflect this in the contracts of the artists to promote the SACD. This can be done if the industry cuts back on the artificial deductions they place in the artists contracts, certain deductions no longer apply and are clearly rip offs. I would sell the Super Audio Compact Disc for about $7.99 the first two weeks of a new release in major record stores around the country, by major artist. The Recording Industry has to compete with the Black-Market; by showing the consumer they are not greedy.

Sell the greatest hits of various artists at $7.99 to as much as $13.99 for a double SACD in the introduction phase and adjust the prices accordingly in the future. Greed could destroy the SACD campaign.

Also we have to consider the technology used to create music in the studios today, with less musicians being used the costs to produce a SACD is lower than it was in the past when bands where being exclusively used. Today most of the music is down using samples and loops along with MIDI and VTSi, there fore the costs is drastically reduced to produce music today.

Introducing the Super Audio Compact Disc is the Ethical thing to do:

The new generation Compact Disc the “Super Audio CD,” was developed before the year 2000 by Sony and Philips Electronics. It could have almost wiped out the music Piracy and the black market of audio CD’s. So why we are in the year mid 2007 and it still has not reached the market in a large way? It is my opinion that the unethical consumer electronics and music industry.

What I am about to say is nothing new; I said it before, but I was unaware that the solution is already developed. The consumer electronics industry makes money by developing devices and software applications that allow consumers to steal music and motion pictures. Companies like Sony gets paid by having a Michael Jackson make an album and then on the other hand put out burnable compact discs and CD burners. So while Michael might end up in the red, Sony still makes profits at the other end.

I think the government should step into this dilemma and force the music industry and the consumer electronics industry to do what is just and ethical thing. The Super Audio Compact Disc is overdue and should replace the old CD’s that are still on the market and have become totally obsolete. The SACD should be the industry standard in not just selected genres but in popular music, hip hop, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Reggae and every other genre of music. The SACD is overdue and artists should voice their demand that their material is not made to be given away.

Note: The SACD is being introduced by Sony Electronics now and is a promising technological breakthrough for people who really like good sounding music. I have to correct a statement I made about how much music can be held on a SACD. It can hold two complete versions of stereo and six channels at 74 minutes each, which is 148 minutes of music, but realistically the artist will probably put out the same music in the two formats, but could reward their fans by doing something different.
