Other than being an “A&R” person, it seems like the more studios go belly up, the more people want to work in them. There will probably always be high quality of recording studios for the “professional” level of audio recording involving top professionals as technicians, musicians, producers, and engineers. That’s an expensive process. The availability of low cost home studios eliminates barriers to entry for musicians as well as recordists. Whether you’re a one man show or want to work on the pro levels of audio recording, you will find something of interest in this video widget from Artists House.

WHAT IS A MARKTING PLAN? One definition of a marketing plan states that, “A marketing plan is a written document containing the guidelines for the business unit’s marketing programs and allocations over the planning period.” (Lehman and Winer 2002) The marketing plan can and should be an essential document for organizational success. A well thought out marketing plan should:
• act as a road map.
• assist in management control and implementation of strategy.
• inform new participants of their roles in implementing the plan and reaching objectives.
• assist in helping to obtain resources for implementation.
• stimulate thinking and better use of limited resources.
• help in the organization and assignment of responsibilities, tasks, and timing.
• help you become aware of problems, opportunities, and threats in the future
-(Cohen 2001)

The marketing plan is an operational document that is created at the business level of the organization. The plan may address a multiple year time horizon but it should be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. Plans tend to fall into one of two categories: a new product/service introduction plan or an annual marketing plan that addresses products and/or services that are already in your company portfolio.

We created business plans for each of the entrepreneurial units but they are not complete in several respects. There's no marketing plan, for example, but there is an outline of what is generally in a marketing plan. Other aspects of the plan will have to be developed by the EU's themselves. The plan we have created is to give everyone in the EU a general idea of how to structure a company, what we think this company does, what it believes in, what its mission is, what its goals are, some personnel considerations, and some general information about financial plans, marketing plans, and compensation questions. The EU should use this plan as a guide to creating a detailed and inclusive plan of their own.

The reality is, the EU's have a very large, funded client from whom they can make a steady income for the next 2 years. That client is The Center for Music and Arts Entrepreneurship. The Center actually houses the EU program and is responsible for its operation and results. The Center is also responsible for creating multi-media content (seminars, clinics, forums, lectures, events, performances, documentaries, television programming, etc.) that will aid the local music, music education, and music entrepreneurship communities, as well as the member schools of the New Orleans Music, Entertainment, and Education Consortium (Dillard, Delgado, UNO, and Loyola).

The EU's will be doing the work of producing, video taping, recording, marketing, broadcasting, advertising, selling, distributing, and otherwise involved with the production and distribution of the content. All of these activities are budgeted and the EU's will be offered the opportunity of providing the services needed, and they will be compensated.
