This is a subject that not a lot of people talk about when it comes to Internet marketing. I’m referring to music and the role it plays in your marketing efforts. Just how important is it? Do you need it? Can you do without it? Not sure? Then you might want to read this article. I am fairly confident that you will get some pretty good ideas from it for the use or non use of music in your promotions.

First of all, let’s confine our use of music to what you’re going to use it for. Naturally, if you’re an article writer and marketer, this doesn’t apply to you at all. Last I heard, articles didn’t have any melodic tones in them. Of course if you ARE an article writer, you’re probably not reading this anyway. More likely, you’re someone who does a lot of videos. So let’s go there.

Have you ever watched a trailer for a new movie? I’m sure you have unless you’ve been living in the stone ages. Well, have you ever noticed that the scenes that they stick in the trailer are usually accompanied by a musical soundtrack, especially if they’re adventure movies? And yet, when you see those same scenes in the actual movie, they either have no music at all or music that is totally different from the trailer. Why is that?

The answer is simple. Music that is written for a trailer is written specifically for the purpose of SELLING the movie. Its job is to hit all the right emotional hot buttons so that you will want to go see the film. It will highlight scenes that, in the movie itself, might not be all that exciting. This is especially true with slow moving films. And trust me…there are a lot of them. So the music, while it may have nothing to do with the movie itself, helps get you excited enough to want to see it.

How does this apply to marketing? Simple. Imagine you’re about to release this brand new make money product and you want people to think that it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Think about what a booming, dramatic soundtrack will do for your video. You know the ones I’m talking about. You see them all the time in the big launches. There is a reason the top guns use this tactic.

Do you need to do this? No. I’ve never used music to hype a launch. But I can tell you from the results that other people have gotten…people who have had million dollar launch days…that music had a lot to do with getting their target market excited. The key is selecting the RIGHT music. That in itself is an art and not something you should try yourself unless you’re a musician.

Music for your promotions. It’s certainly something to consider.

To YOUR Success,
