9. 9 A Survey Was Performed by the Team in the area of CD Sales  To serve as a learning vehicle for the application Addressable Minds to a practical business or social issue  Sufficient to show the power of the method

10. SURVEY OVERVIEW (1 of 2)  An Addressable Minds Survey is a survey of key ideas for CD sales and illegal downloading.  Survey conducted on November 6, 2011 : ◦ Population Ages 18 and over of Males/Females across the US  The team created key marketing and advertising messaging with the intent to entice the survey taker to purchase CDs instead of downloading music illegally. 10

27. 27 Conclusions  The two segments created by the Addressable minds survey for CDs now allows music promoters to know what to use to entice customers.  Restating what the CD already comes with and then adding a legacy to it can effect the way people view the product.  You can improve CD sales, but you have to show consumers that there are benefits to spending their money rather than downloading illegally. ◦ Know the segmentation ◦ Give the right message to the right segment
