I was surprised at how large a hold Alternative, Rap, Hip-Hop etc.. had in Leicester as this is the case for almost all of the 100 tracks for the city. It also could help provide an idea into the demographic of Spotify Users within Leicester.

For artists or record label in the area, it shows an up to date list of the style of music and the type of artists trending and being listened to. This can help tailor when you choose to release certain tracks as well as the type of music you choose to release. It could also be used to keep an up to date track on how your music is faring against competition within the area.

Product - A product should be developed to fulfil a need or want within the market. It is important for producers to research their market to ensure their product is beneficial to their consumers. In the context of music, this could be physical media, digital media, streaming service, tickets, merchandise and more.

Price - Products are only worth what customers will pay for it, the price should be competitive however that doesn’t mean it should be cheap. By providing a better service towards your customers or offering things at a better value for money then smaller companies can easily compete with larger rivals. Price is also the only element of the 7P’s that generates revenue and as such should also be creating profit. Generation of revenue in relation for music can come through a variety of streams. Artists mainly see this through royalties from Radio and TV but also in the form of ticket and merch sales from events.

Place - Accessibility to the product should be in line with the market in which you’re selling. The Location, Time and Quantity of a product should be effective for the market while keeping Storage, Inventory and Distribution costs within a goal. 

Promotion - This covers how a company chooses to communicate their workings and offers to their customers. It includes branding, advertising, PR, corporate identity, social media outreach, sales management, special offers and exhibitions. The promotion of a product must be appealing to customers while maintaining a consistent message and giving customers a reason to value this product over others.

Process - Customers no longer buy a product alone they invest in a journey which includes discovering, purchasing, receiving and experiencing the product. Tailoring and adapting this experience enhances the effect it provides on a customer base.

People - This covers the aspect of customer satisfaction. Your product will leave an impression on those it comes in contact with as well as those who provide access and physically lease with the customers. Hence it is important to present the people and product in a suitable way.
