Interesting note for the Book Publishers out there…
From: Media Memo ~ Book Publishers Beware! At iTunes, Expensive Music Equals Slower Sales.
Last April, iTunes introduced a “variable pricing” scheme, which gave the labels the ability to move prices from 99 cents a song to $1.29 (and for some tracks, down to 69 cents).
The result? Music sales are slowing.
Warner Music Group (WMG) said this morning that it has seen unit sales growth at Apple’s (AAPL) iTunes decelerate since the price increase
See what happens? Apple iTunes promoted a highly reasonable sweet spot price of 99 cents per song and when the publishers jacked the price their sales fell despite how popular iTunes is.
