WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT QUINN RECORDS TM'S RECORD PROMOTIONS

by Dwight L. Quinn
10-21-2013

Our Promotion Department, headed by Ronald Rayford a.k.a Ron Ray is busier than a  bear with a sweet tooth, being chased by a swam of mad honey bees, he's on the move.The Promotion Department is key to our business. Because when Ron is successful in securing airplay for our records, than our Marketing Plan comes alive.

The Promotion Department is working several releases for the label today,that is doing rather well.They are targeted to Radio,s  Blues n' Soul Music Shows both domestic and international those projects are, GO SLOW-Blues Crossing, " The Soul of A Man by KL&R2," " Keep On Keeping, by James Gilbert. We have a great sound being released into the Blues n' Soul Marketplace this fall/winter period and we're all excited and elated about the already  positive feedback the we are getting from industry movers and shakers.
The songs that are getting most of the industry M&S's buzz  are James Gilberts,"Blues This Morning," Osee Anderson's,"Breaking Up Somebodys Home," KL&R2's,"I Got My Swag On" and Mississippi Red's,"Send Me Some To Love". Quinn is already entering into two non-exclusive Master License Deals with two international Music companies for the territories of India and Spain.

Competition is heavy, record labels, big and small, are releasing several hundred CDs each and every week. And the Radio stations are over-whammed with these records. So when Ron get one of  our songs added to the Radio stations playlists this is an outstanding victory.
A “playlist” is a list of songs a station plays and the playlist is created every week or so  by the station’s Music Director. Ron gets real passionate with his sales pitch to MD's, Pd's and Djs when he's communicating a Quinn Records TM recording it gets us a chance to be heard by the radio station’s Music and Program Directors.

Just like sales people our Ron don't let any grass grow under his feet. Ron is always pitching a Quinn Records TM recording may it be a blues, a gospel, a jazz or a soul project it doen't matters. If you’ve ever had any experience selling anything, then you know how important enthusiasm and a positive attitude are in convincing potential customers to buy your product. Our Promo Rep is just that way he stays  in a positive, upbeat and motivated frame of mind. He know that, this is an important element in the music business. And,
Ron knows also, that we’re not the only label releasing new music every week, and that radio stations can only play a few of these new songs at a time so,it's not personal, it's just business as usual .

Promotion at Quinn Records TM goe's a bit further than  describing the work done by Ron to get radio airplay for our releases.
The Promo Rep” is the companies breathing apparatus,pitch man,the spokes person who present the label’s new releases to radio stations with the intent to build a relationship that would allow us to place products that would both provide entertainment to the exsisting listeners as well as attract new listeners by playing the songs the we selects for promotion.
Quinn Records TM rely on it's Promo Rep. to  decide very carefully what specific songs from an artist's new record would most likely fit the radio station’s format and attract the listener’s attention.

Keeping the human-element alive, well and active in our Record Promotion  Progam is still the number one strategy  used  in our Record Promotional planning. It's nothing more powerful and enjoyable than visiting the Stations face-to-face and learning just what the Market is really like from a birds-eye view. We do every thing possible to make sure face-to face contact with the Radio Station stays our utmost priority.

To add even more  convenience for the commercial customer in our Record Promotion Program, we created an online page at our website,that's dedicated to the Radio MD's.PD,s, DJ's, Press and Retail  commercial customer where they can go 24/7 and request any Promo Copy that they want and Ron will send it out to them asap. All they do is go to our website, login set up an account, than go to the  Radio,Press,Retail link and order. The CD is free and we ship it free.

The Promotion Department is the arm of the company that makes sure that our records are at the Radio Stations that we service, and are available for airplay.

RECORD LABELS, MUSIC LABELS, LABELS: JUST WHAT ARE LABELS?

by Dwight L. Quinn
(10-18-2013)

Quinn Records TM like other record companies, sell pre-recorded music under an assumed name.

The label in itself is a brand: a name,symbol,logo, a trade mark, a sign, an image or words . The Major record companies use's  many different labels at any one time. The labels are used as,"identifiers"to help record buyers tell where a record come from and/or what kind of musical content it offers, with just a glance and without even hearing it. Record companies go to great length in  protecting their labels.

Lets face the facts, there is no point in owning a label and promoting it, if it can't be differentciated from other Labels, or if someone else uses it without consent. So if and when a Label is created without a clear understanding of its' purpose i.e. the lack of understanding branding, than failure is  the path this Label is on.
Labels that are well managed , can get a reputation for quality,musical style, genre that are both popular and/or niched, this invaluable recognition in itself sets a path that enhances,builds and clearly identifies the directional approach for its marketing.

Quinn Records TM label is a perfect example of a label that managed to define its musical style so powerfully that the record-buying public can more or less tell what they will get as soon as they see a Quinn Records TM label on the record. The label identification is so strong that when the company decided to release pop or classical recordings, it has to create another label to place these new recordings on.
.
Labels in other genres of music have been successful in defining themselves by their labels too.No one would expect Alligator Records to release rap and hip hop any more than Malaco would release chamber music.
Any potential buyer looking at a record on the Quinn Records TM label would know the recording’s musical genre.

A successful label helps to sell records.  It invest a large percentage of  it's dollars in promoting the artist(s) on  it's Label. Labels with an active touring artist selling out venues will see record sale numbers increase as the artist grows in popularity within the Marketplace..
This is largely the reason why when record buyers go to purchase a recording they idenify the record with it's title, artist name or both. Rarely do they (the record buyers) buy a record using a Label name.

The Label is one of the most valuable assets an Independent can acquire, next to the master recordings.
SO,JUST WHAT ARE  LABELS? Well, they're just a,"Brand".

KEVIN WHEELER/KL&R2 CAMP DEBUTED A NEW TRACK TODAY.

by Dwight L. Quinn

The music pro-lif-er-ators over at the Kevin Wheeler/KL&R2 camp debuted a new track today targeted to the audiences of the world’s leading Soul n' Blues guru, the late great Solomon Burke.

” Launched as a tribute recognizing Mr. Burke's great contribution to the art and to the soul n' blues music industry, Kevin's team's aim is to set out and re-discover the profound life impact of this icon works.

The track was made into a medley of songs selected from a broad collection of world-class hits, made famous by Mr. Burke and were fan favorites exclusively for Soul n' blues users. The KL team titled the new track," The Soul of A Man (Medley of Songs by Solomon Burke) the mix of medelys includes, If You Need Me,Tonights The Night and The Price I had To Pay and clocks in at 4:08 minutes in length.

 The songs intro begins with a thundering drum role that would catch the listener by surprise at first, and the second wave Kevin makes this heart-felt announcement, dedicating the song to Mr. Solomon Burke and praying that he rest-in-peace and then he proceeds on into these touching medlodies of moving songs, consisting of “If You Need Me","Tonights The Night," and" The Price I Had To pay". “The Soul of A Man",(The Medleys of Solomon Burke) will rank high among the great works of Kevin Wheeler & KL&R2.

We commend him for his great courage and love for the art and music to take on such a huge undertaking in the effort to keep the Works of a past legend such as Solomon Burke,alive. It ends with a higher,powerful tenor rises that is the signature of Kevin's large vocal ranges that pushes the song skyward as the minutes ticks down to closing of the popular soul medleys the esteemed brava that Kevin has played to crowds worldwide. 

“I was always a Traditional Quartet Gospel singer before I was making soul tracks,” said Kevin. “The Traditional Quartet Gospel singing is the backbone of soul music. Gospel [have] been the direct contributor, and soul n'blues are the way I can bring fresh sounds to people. Real Soul feeling don’t wait for the right timing, it just lets go.. Soul music gives me an audience of stable adults that LOVE soul and dance music from urban stlye genres. I now have the ability to share that soulful and enlightening vision in its purest form with all my fans.

TERRESTRIAL RADIO'S CRITICS WOULD HAVE YOU THINKING TERRESTRIAL RADIO IS "DEAD".

9/20/2013

Let’s Look Well Into The Matter


Satellite radio, as an example, gained 453,000 subscribers in the first quarter of 2013, bringing its total to 24.4 million. In the same first quarter of 2013, Pandora has around 70 million active users, Pandora One gained more than 700,000 new subscribers, which brings their total subscribers to 2.5 million. Spotify has over 24 million active users,currently and over 6 million paying subscribers.

 Terrestrial radio’s absolute biggest competitor, is iTunes accounting for about 75% of global digital music with over 600 million users worldwide. iTunes has just recently revealed their own iTunes Radio which will compete with the streaming services.

 These numbers reflect global users rather than only in the United States, so the numbers cannot be taken as face value right now. But these are the numbers that critics quote, and even still, some of these numbers can hardly touch the impact of terrestrial radio in the U.S. today.

 Why Digital Radio Is Gaining Strength.

 The question is, how has digital radio gained such speed and momentum, enough to begin to compete with terrestrial radio? For starters, the instantaneous selection of music from one’s library is something that terrestrial radio simply cannot do. Waiting for your favorite song? You don’t have to wait for it to come on the radio—just browse, select and push play.

Another advantage to digital radio is the breadth of one’s music library. Terrestrial radio has its certain playlist of songs decided by the DJ at that time. But with digital and streaming radio, you are the DJ. You have the entire selection of your uploaded or streaming music library at your fingertips, ready to be called up at will.

 Still another advantage is mobility. In the advent of mobile phones and tablets, carrying around your music library has never been easier. There are thinner and sleeker Walkmans these days, but carrying around a device just for radio in addition to your mobile phone or tablet just doesn’t sit well with the majority of consumers.

 Despite All Of The Hype, Terrestrial Radio Still Has Its Own Unique Benefits.

While digital radio is gaining momentum due to these benefits, terrestrial radio still has a hold on the American public for reasons of its own. For starters, some people prefer to not have to choose the music they listen to, and they like a DJ playing the top hits or genre-specific hits of that station for them.
This also helps with song and artist discovery, just in a different way than some of the streaming services.

 Terrestrial radio lives and breathes local content. As wavelengths and signals can only travel so far, radio stations are generally encouraged to maintain some sense of locality in their programming and possibly even sound choice. This includes local news, music from local artists and even advertisements for local businesses that you just can’t get from digital radio.

 In terms of artist royalties, radio stations, for the most part, have got a system, and it’s a system that has worked for many years. Streaming and digital radio services are still trying to work out the kinks in their own plans for rewarding artists for their music, and many people—especially artists—are turned off by this fact.

 And finally, terrestrial radio is free. Several of these digital and streaming providers do end up having free music as well, but terrestrial radio will always be free. No subscriptions necessary. If these providers ever decide to go subscription only, terrestrial radio will always be free. While digital radio does pose something of a threat to terrestrial radio, the traditional medium is just too far engrained to be going anywhere anytime soon. There may be some adaptation involved as the music industry continues to evolve over time, but for the most part, terrestrial radio has found and will continue to hold a special place in the hearts of music listeners.

GLOBAL RECORDED MUSIC INDUSTRY REVENUES INCEASED


  GLOBAL RECORDED MUSIC INDUSTRY REVENUES INCEASED 
  by Dwight L. Quinn



Global recorded music industry revenues increased by an estimated 0.3 per cent in 2012, the first year of industry growth since 1999, to US$16.5 billion. Digital revenues increased by an estimated 9 per cent to US$5.6 billion in 2012, now accounting for around 34 per cent of global industry revenues. Download sales increased in volume by 12 per cent globally in 2012 and represent around 70 per cent of overall digital music revenues The number of people paying to use subscription services leapt 44 per cent in 2012 to 20 million. Subscription revenues are expected to account for more than 10 per cent of digital revenues for the first time in 2012. Digital channels account for the majority of record companies' income in an increasing number of markets including India, Norway, Sweden and the US Digital retailers' rapid global expansion is opening up the potential for markets such as Brazil and India, to become major sources of future industry growth. At the start of 2011, the major international services were present in 23 countries. Two years later, they are in more than 100 countries. Digital music consumption has become mainstream, as shown by consumer research by Ipsos MediaCT across nine markets in four continents. Two-thirds of internet users (62%) have used a licensed digital music service in the past six months. Among younger consumers (aged 16-24) this figure jumps to 81 per cent. Consumer satisfaction with licensed music services is demonstrably high. 77 per cent of users of licensed services rate them as excellent, very good or fairly good. Even 57 per cent of those who use unlicensed services believe "there are good services available for legally accessing digital music." Many non-digital revenue channels are also increasing. Performance rights income increased in value by an estimated 9.2 per cent in 2012 and now accounts for around 6 per cent of overall industry revenues, up from 3 per cent in 2007. Album charts in most markets show that investment in local repertoire is alive and well. In many countries, local repertoire accounts for the vast majority of the top selling albums of the year. Five major non-English language markets illustrate this. In Italy, Spain and Sweden, eight in 10 of the top selling albums of 2012 were by local artists; in Germany, seven in 10, and in France six in 10.

A RECORD DEAL MATTERS

by Dwight L. Quinn


Quinn Records TM and other record companies alike,discover, nurture and promote artistic talent. We, the record companies are by far the largest upfront financial investors in artists’ careers. We also bring a huge range of expertise and experience to any campaign to bring a new artist to a broad audience. No other industry player currently offers access to such levels of investment or skills. Behind the breaking of a new artist there are a dynamic combination of creativity, talent, teamwork, strategy, finance and, of course, lots of prayers. Each project requires significant investment in research and development, as well as marketing and promotion. In 2011, record companies were estimated to have invested US$4.5 billion worldwide in artists and repertoire (A&R) combined with marketing. This represented 26 per cent of industry revenues. The four major labels combined had over 5,000 artists on their rosters and tens of thousands more artists are signed to independent labels like ourselves. New talent is the heartbeat of the industry and one in four of these artists (23%) are new signings (signed in the last 12 months). Quinn Record TM and labels alike are able to reinvest the proceeds of successful campaigns in the discovery and nurturing of the next generation of talent. Research study by five independent bodies found 80 per cent of unsigned artists with professional ambitions wanted a recording deal. The top reasons cited as ‘very important’ were marketing and promotional support (71%), TV and radio contacts (58%), the ability to focus on the creative process (50%), tour support (46%) and payment of a financial advance (45%). The findings are supported by countless personal accounts provided by unsigned artists and managers addressing this issue. Without significant investment, industry expertise and creativity (the business) and obviously the artist talent(the music), it is extremely difficult to break an artist or band into popular culture or the mainstream music markets. So where DIY demonstrates the artist ability to approach the industry in the correct manner, there is still no substitute for the experience of the industry to move an artist project forward.” Artists approach labels like Quinn Records TM wanting different types of support. This may be career development, financial support or a team to champion their creations. We want to help, whether it is assisting in the creative process, opening doors for them to work with great producers or supporting them with the right marketing campaign or distribution strategy. At Quinn Records TM we stand on the fact,that a Record deal matters.

HOW DO A SONG MAKE IT ON OUR TOP 10?

by Dwight L. Quinn


Each week (Monday and Friday), Quinn Records TM puts together a chart of it's top 10 most popular songs based on a national sample of top 10 radio airplay, top 10 radio playlists, and music sales. Since our Top 10 comes from the 220 radio stations, APD,89 Digital Companies,YouTube Reporting, 40 Cable TV Channels tracked each week, let's look at how our tracking is compiled. 
First, there is airplay. What songs of ours that is actually being played on the radio and on music video channels on TV and screaming? Frequent calls to program directors and disc jockeys that reports and have their finger on the music, this is our good measure of what their listeners like. Airplay is tracked through our in-house Radio trackers, Air Play Direct (APD), YouTube and Broadcast Data Systems (BDS), run by Nielsen. BDS uses digital pattern-recognition technology to identify songs that are played on radio stations and music video TV channels across the United States and Canada. With the combination of Physical tracking a.k.a Manual tracking and the incorporation of tracking Technology, we've been able to track 24 hours a day, seven days a week, following over 220 targeted Radio Stations,APD,Digital Distributor,Cable TV YouTube and Spotify weekly. 

 Our Radio Promotions Department manual tracking consist of Playlists and verbal reporting from Radio with emphasis placed on obtaining as close as possible the number of people listening to a the station and we would multiply that number by the number of times one of our songs are played.

 When the company record a new song, a copy of the recording is sent to BDS so it can be encoded and tracked by its system on the stations it monitors. This data is used not only by Quinn in compiling our weekly Top 10 chart, but also by record company executives, radio stations, publishing firms, performance rights organizations (to calculate performance royalties), music retailers, independent promoters, film and TV producers, and artist managers.  

Another measure of what song of ours that is hot and what people are buying. To find out what music is selling in record stores, Quinn goes to Sound Scan  Nielsen Sound Scan is an information system that tracks the sales of music and music videos throughout the United States and Canada. By scanning the bar codes, they can collect sales information from cash registers each week from over 14,000 retail, mass merchant, and non-traditional sources such as online stores, concert sales, etc. The data is compiled and used in positioning the song on our Top 10 each Monday and Friday. Like BDS data, the data from Sound Scan is also very valuable for us in compiling a clear Top 10 Song Chart. 

 Our method for compiling our Top 10 Song chart have gone through a change or two over the past five years. Since publicizing our Radio Promotions Reports and Activities as a Promotional tool, we followed the foot prints of the icon of Charts, Billboard  we to changed the weighting of airplay versus sales in the compiling our Top 10 Song Chart. We found through researching and practical experiences that tracking a single song through album sales isn't exactly accurate, singles sales have always been used to track the sales side of song popularity. But, since only about 20% of people actually buy singles and over 90% listen to the radio, it made sense for us too, to alter the ratio of points. Now, the overall points are weighted to 20% sales and 80% airplay. 

 Quinn's Top 10 Song Chart is an important and valuable tool that let our fans,user of our music, music retailers,radio stations, promoters, film and TV producers, artist managers know what kind of music that we offer and how the music that we offer is performing in the very highly competitive music marketplace. The information that our Top 10 Song Chart gives to the Buyer is precious, it gives the Buyer the kind of Education that he or she needs to make the right Buying decision. 

 Quinn bases its Top 10 Song charts on its own prerecorded music and what is already being played on the radio and purchased in music stores, this is also the avenue to how radio stations find out about our new music.

MY FAVORITE JUNK FOOD WAS A BOX OF CRACKER JACKS

by Dwight Quinn

I bet you didn't know that when ever you purchase a Quinn Records TM product, we always give the customer something Free, it just comes natural with the Company. The idea came about when I was a boy growing up in East St. Louis. My favorite junk food was a box of Cracker Jacks. What I became to love and appreciate about a box of Cracker jacks, is that it wasn't the fact that it was  a great tasting, lip-smacking snack with its sweet caramel covered popcorn flavor and roasted salted peanuts that blended well with popcorn, it was as I began to realize that with every box of Cracker jacks that you purchased there were always a prize in the box. It was Free, a plastic ring or a spinning top you  name it, it was the prize that excited us. And it soon became apparent that it was the FREE prizes that was drawing us kids to the Cracker Jacks,the prizes was creating the buzz and making for a grand conversation piece, a friend maker and so on. Well I took that Cracker Jacks mentality into the business with me and applied the same strategy here at Quinn Records TM. We appreciate the customer so much that it is always proper for us to give the customer something back. To show our deepest appreciation and thanks for their business.
