Mariah Carey Showing How The New Music Business Model Works For Megastars
,----[ Quote ]
| She's working closely with various brands
| to help fund the business model. She's
| selling other product lines such as makeup.
| But, she's also come up with some unique
| "reasons to buy." For example, she got the
| magazine Elle to produce an entire issue
| dedicated to her -- but the only way to get
| it is to buy her new CD. In other words,
| she's giving people a reason to buy the CD.
| And... even better, she (or, her people)
| sold the ads that are in the magazine and
| gets to keep all of that money. It's the
| superstar blend of recognizing that content
| and advertising have really become the same
| thing.
