BandPage Finds Gold in the Hills of Streaming Music Services

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 18, 2014--BandPage, the central profile that over 500,000 musicians use to engage and sell to hundreds of millions of fans, announced today that it is now distributing more than 3,000,000 items for sale to fans across services including Spotify, Shazam, Rhapsody, Lyricfind and more. While the debate around streaming royalties continues, early data from BandPage suggests that there is a massive opportunity to increase revenue for musicians across the major music services by displaying offers to fans while they are streaming music or engaging with artists across major music platforms. BandPage released figures showing that it has the potential to deliver over one billion impressions each month across its partner network. Musicians receive more than 10 times the average daily impressions through the BandPage network compared to their own websites, due to the massive scale and daily traffic on these music services. The offers distributed through the BandPage network are seeing average click-through rates that are 5 times higher than typical online channels and conversion rates up to 3 times higher than online retailer averages. The company stated that artists have made upwards of $1,000 per day through their network of partners, indicating that there is significant revenue to be made by musicians on these services in addition to streaming royalties.
