Sound -audio Branding authored by leveious rolando

Marketing campaigns often focus primarily on the sense of vision, whether they are purely visual elements like print ads and billboards, or even when they have associated sound, like television commercials or retail environments.But what the advent of 3-G Mobilise devices which many have greater convergent and divergent potential in nature changes the dynamics of what is marketing to the consumer and visa versa - but what about sound?

Most marketers don’t ignore the possibilities of sound when it’s an available option. They’ll use it productively for mood-setting music or a persuasive voice over. It’s possible, though, to go beyond the obvious. First, let’s take a look at the potential impact of sound in a retail environment:

In 1998, Adrian North, David Hargreaves and Jennifer McKendrick ran a test in a British wine shop to determine the role of background music in purchase decisions. For a number of days they piped in French and German music, alternating between the two. The results: on French-music days, the French wine outsold the German wine by a ratio of four to one. On German-music days, German wine outsold the French by a ratio of three to one.

The same team also discovered that customers are likely to tolerate long waiting times (both on the phone and in the real world), if and when the hold/background music is enjoyable and fits our expectations .

In the music -entertainment many rappers- Hip Hop artists have used sound- audio branding to push products successfully with out understanding truly what they were doing such as Artist/ Producer 50 cents whole niche is to hear dropping of a coin in video or commercials before you even see him visually all youth knows it 50 cents.. it sold records just sound of coins falling to the ground... the global Hip Hop world has radical change product placement just through sound branding with the context of videos and commericials.
A conversation on audio branding -- the intentional use of music, sound and voice to create a cognitive and emotional connection between people and organizations. I'm focused on more than one-off jingles, temporary anthems or the blip-bleep noises your gadgets make; this is about the totality of a brand's sound everywhere the brand lives. One of goals of 3-G-beyond m-commerce market will be a greater awareness of the role sound plays in our lives today. And my motivation is to ensure that sonic touch points are used to enhance the world we live in, rather than serve as a vehicle for sensory bombardment.

Well-designed, behavior-based audio branding is a critical part of the experience that we have with everyday products and environments--from computers to cell phones, from ATMs to busy public spaces. If not carefully orchestrated, then unfettered sound becomes irrelevant clutter in the mind of consumers.

If you stop to consider the thousands of sounds your audiences experience when connecting to your organization ( ring tones ,on-hold music, recorded voice messages, ambient music, street sounds, the acoustic qualities of the lobby or venue, the tone and tenor of your front-of-house or customer service staff, the sound of your entry or interior doors, the hushed or hectic social conversations, not to mention the sounds of the event, itself), there are likely thousands of little tweaks that could add up to a big difference, and a more compelling experience.

Forward thinking company called "Audio Brain: is at the forefront of this consumer sensory

Mobile End-user " The Radical Meme" authored by leveious rolando

An evolving historic technological revolution is under way, which is creating new industries, new products, new services and, unmercifully redefining or even destroying others. It is more powerful, with greater reach and is growing faster than any other media-ecology.

It is the every day person to person the mobile mass media

In addition, mobile phones are among the most personal of devices, and UI designers now that appealing to subscribers’ emotional, as well as physical (utilitarian) needs, is a winning combination. ireless operators concerned about improving the mobile user experience will understand the sense of touch as a remendous and underused source of both physical and emotional attachment.

After all, people learn the language of touch from an early age, having absorbed its lexicon, grammar, and syntax even before verbal language.And though many of the leading handset manufacturers have started to leverage the sense of touch through tactile
feedback (haptics*), visual and auditory communication channels are still the most often used.

Yet because themobile handset is such a capable and complex tool, and because people intuitively and effortlessly understand communication through touch, the mobile communications experience stands to gain immeasurably from the
use of haptics technology.

Rapid Technology advances have turned the mobile phone into the ultimate portable tool for information,
communications, productivity, and entertainment. In addition, mobile phones are among the most personal of devices, and UI designers now that appealing to end users ’ emotional, as well as physical (utilitarian- substainble) needs, is a winning combination.

Like the what Alan Moore says 7 th mass media has emerge

It is not as clear and coherent, with established well known global brands, as the older Internet is today, with its Google’s, Yahoo’s, YouTube’s and Second Life’s. But the foundations are now being laid for the future corporate giants for the 7th mass media to emerge.

Differing from the internet, mobile as the 7th mass media channel is similar to the five legacy mass media, economically viable with a stable business model from day one. Yet, differing from the legacy mass media, all of which are witnessing a decline in their audiences and revenues, mobile like the internet, is an interactive media enabling it to fully capitalize on social networking and digital communities.

But more importantly from a media audience point-of-view, there already are over twice as many mobile phones worldwide as there are personal computers, nearly twice as many mobiles as TV sets. The only mass media that is carried upon the owner at all times, mobile is also the first mass media where near 100% accuracy is feasible on measuring the audience.
