A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
The environmental scanning has revealed additional challenges to ongoing innovation, given Google Gemini’s anticipated influence on how firms will function in the future. The Ali Hugo team must accept these difficulties in order to incorporate them into the Ali Hugo business plan, and it all begins with “Tea Party at the Pet Shop.” Ali Hugo described how my team and I had to completely restructure our business model in order to get ready for the music’s release. Making sure we supported the Just-in-time (JIT) concept as practiced in Japan was the first step in this. This idea starts with our email marketing, where a smooth process flow is necessary to enable a seamless transition from email to streaming and social media platforms. The automation of massage response is comparable. The main goal is centered around the maxim “Every download, every stream counts.” Furthermore, we shouldn’t lose a stream or social media connection for any cause within our control — technology is readily available; all we need to do is act to fully take advantage of it. Thus, it may be necessary for our team members to continuously enhance their expertise.
Another step done to update the Ali Hugo business plan is the revamp of the online merchandise store. New items associated with the Tea Party At The Pet Shop project have been added, and a new Ali Hugo merchandise logo has been created. We anticipate that a better shopping experience and new selection of merchandise will result in higher sales of items.
Many of our team members advised us “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” when it came to business, which is why we chose to work with a new publisher for the Tea Party At The Pet Shop in order to collect mechanical rights and royalties globally. For this initiative, SOCAN’s help is still required in Canada and is much appreciated. In the USA, BMI Performance Rights Organization is involved, which is a shift from ASCAP’s previous representation of Ali Hugo recordings. We still maintain our commercial relationships with Sentric Music Publishing and ASCAP; this is just a healthy way to do business. “My business still finds Sentric & ASCAP to be quite valuable to us” described Hugo.
Hugo states, “My team and I are going above and beyond for this project because I’ve never been more excited about releasing new music than I am with Tea Party At The Pet Shop.” Accurately assessing the new tracks’ long-term worth and contribution to the Ali Hugo music catalogue is the primary goal. The fact that Tea Party At The Pet Shop has more dance tracks and R&B elements than any of my prior releases makes that value clear.
As anticipated, we are experimenting with various promotion strategies that the Ali Hugo brand hasn’t used before in terms of sales and marketing. It resembles removing a rabbit from its hole. Keep them listening and buying is what we want. However, it is too soon to discuss the details related to that at this time.
It is anticipated that songs from the Tea Party At The Pet Shop project will be released in the summer of 2024.
