Successful music marketing today requires a whole new level of expertise; from basic marketing knowledge and industry-specific strategies, to technology-driven tactics and tools there are many critical factors to consider when putting together a marketing plan. MARKETING AND MERCHANDISING FOR MUSICIANS rises to the challenge of defining an effective and competitive music marketing campaign by addressing the changing landscape of music marketing, and what this means for the people responsible for the marketing.

This book will not only provide students with a fundamental knowledge of each of these topics, it tackles these topics in the context of a musician's career, which offers a variety of strong real-world applications.

Praise for the Second Edition : 'I found that the first edition of Brennan, Canning and McDowell's text was excellent for raising students' awareness and understanding of the most important concepts and phenomena associated with B2B marketing. The second edition should prove even more successful by using several new case studies and short 'snapshots' to illustrate possible solutions to common B2B marketing dilemmas, such as the design and delivery of business products and services, the selection of promotional tools and alternative routes to market. The new edition also deals clearly with complex issues such as inter-firm relationships and networks, e-B2B, logistics, supply chain management and B2B branding' - Michael Saren, Professor of Marketing, University of Leicester. 'This textbook makes a unique contribution to business-to-business teaching: not only does it provide up-to-date cases and issues for discussion that reach to the heart of business-to-business marketing; it also brings in the latest academic debates and makes them both relevant and accessible to the readers. A fantastic addition to any library or course' - Dr Judy Zolkiewski, Senior Lecturer in Business-to-Business Marketing, Manchester Business School. 'The advantage of the approach taken by Brennan and his colleagues is that this book manages to convey both the typical North American view of B2B marketing as the optimisation of a set of marketing mix variables, and the more emergent European view of B2B Marketing as being focused on the management of relationships between companies. This updated second edition sees the addition of a number of 'snapshots' in each chapter that bring the subject alive through the description of current examples, as well as some more expansive end-of-chapter case studies. It is truly a most welcome addition to the bookshelves of those students and faculty interested in this facet of marketing' - Peter Naud , Professor of Marketing, Manchester Business School. 'The strength of this text lies in the interconnection of academic theory with real world examples. Special

The internet, web and related information technologies have proven to be transformational. While these technologies have impacted all parts of the corporation, the marketing function has perhaps been most affected. E-marketing is now a significant part of every global corporation's marketing arsenal. As international acceptance of the internet and web increases, the scope of international e-marketing now transitions from possibility to reality. International marketing scholars have followed the transformational impact of the internet/web closely. Several studies in the international e-marketing context have already emerged at the individual consumer (Callow and Lerman, 2003; Dou et al., 2003; Kucuk, 2002; Sing et al., 2004; Waller et al., 2005; papers by Sugai and Gong and McMillan, in this issue) and firm levels (Javalgi et al., 2004; Singh and Kundu, 2002; and papers by Kaynak et al. and Javalgi et al. in this issue). Recognizing the contribution of the work thus far, in this paper, we introduce the in international e-marketing. The IEMF should help the global marketing community shape scholarly inquiry in the domain of international e-marketing, classify current intellectual contributions in this area and delineate the gaps in the literature to focus future research. Moreover, the IEMF should help global e-marketing scholars address the question How is International E-Marketing different from International Marketing? The IEMF is an extension of the framework first introduced in Krishnamurthy (2006) to the international context. An overview of IEMF The IEMF has seven components actors (i.e. those who take e-marketing actions), spaces (i.e. online theaters of engagement), technology form factors (i.e. the idiosyncrasies of information technologies that affect the user experience), country-level cultural factors (i.e. the Hofstedian framework), access to information technologies (or the digital divide), actions and outcomes (behavioral outcomes at firm-level). We now briefly introduce the seven components. Actors Establishing an online presence makes one an international e-marketing actor axiomatically. Since web sites can be accessed across country lines, e-marketing actors exert influence in the country of their origin and across borders. Moreover, companies now routinely create country-level sites to deepen their presence within a country (e.g. Amazon.com has stores in the UK, Canada, France, Japan and Germany). This could create arbitrage opportunities that have not been fully studied, e.g. Amazon.co.uk frequently sells books at a lower delivered price than Amazon.com. Yet, it is not clear if consumers are taking advantage of this. Spaces The conceptualization of spaces is fairly new in the business/management/marketing literature. Rayport and Sviokla (1994) first used the term marketspace and distinguished it from a marketplace. An online space is a theater of engagement between the company and the consumer (Krishnamurthy, 2006). Imp
