Current Solution
We want to
integrate Spotify
into our app to give
consumers the
largest music
library possible.
Allow users to view
playlists from
’hotspots’ (e.g. at
events or clubs)
Users can add
friends to see and
share playlists and
collaborate with
them.
We want to
integrate a map
system to make
the map new and

Based on our competitor research, the current solution to
playlist sharing is very broken and separated with not one
app combining sharing, collaborating and discovery.

Theory of Social Influence
9
Social groups have a self made hierarchy. The
individuals at the top can influence peers through
social media.
If we can market our product to influential social
blogs or forums, consumers are more likely to
engage.

Place
We believe the best place to begin
marketing efforts for our app is in
universities as the main use of the
app is something that could easily
adapt to student situations e.g. going
out.
As previously discussed, the main
promotion for our app will be through
social influencers as we believe that
encouraging it as ‘a trend’ will aid
adopting.
Price
Product
Our product was determined by a
want for something with the function
of our app and a gap in the market
for it., Therefore our marketing
should be to highlight the benefits of
using the app.
As we are trying to mass market and
encourage people to adopt using the
app, the price is free.

“ My main concern is that people are
already used to existing music
services that do a similar job so trying
to encourage to switch to another and
keep using it may be difficult.
However, the map idea is unique and

Targeting students is the best idea as
they are easily influenced by others
and more likely to adopt new ideas
especially in technology.
Shouldn’t be completely narrow-

‘social butterflies’ as the app can be
adapted for other students.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 JORDAN – Introduce all of us
  • #3 **** JORDAN TO READ– read in a clear pitch style (e.g. like dragons den) **** MixMap is your playlist sharing solution. There are 3 key features, SHARING, DISCOVERING AND COLLABORATING The name comes from our unique selling point, MAPS. Our app will be hosted on a map based format, allowing users to create avatars, click onto friends to view their playlists and view playlists from hotspot locations on the map such as clubs or events.
  • #4 JORDAN to read*** Explain the planned format and layout of our app
  • #5 **** CHARLOTTE to read**** Soundshare is our closest competitor in term of function. The quote shown on screen is how they market themselves. Their USP is that they bring all music platforms together in one social network. Allowing friends who use different streaming sites to create and share on a unified platform. By analysing the customer reviews from the app, sharing was obviously one of their strengths however a main criticism was that collaborative playlists can only be accessed through one device. We can grow on this by ensuring our playlists can be accessed separately by all members.
  • #6 *** CHARLOTTE to read*** Spotify is a main competitor in terms of dominance. It has an extremely large consumer base, with the majority being active users. While we do not think we can compete with spotify, many apps such as Shazam integrate Spotify’s database into their platform. By doing such it opens up the app to large music library, ensuring the app is able to operate successfully rather than seem like a BETA version.
  • #7 ** CHARLOTTE to read*** Returning to our 3 main features, SHARING, DISCOVERING, COLLABORATING. We looked broadly and compared different music apps against ours to see if they offer such features. The grid shows that none of the competitors offer all the features we do.
  • #8 *** CHARLOTTE to read**** Therefore, the current solution is broken, no app combines everything in one convenient place. From the competitors research we drew 4 key idea. 1) Integrate Spotify’s database 2) Integrate the map system 3) Allow users to view hotspots (e.g. events or club playlists) 4) Add friends to share playlists with a fun avatar system.
  • #9 **** JAKE to read**** We believe there is a strong market for our app, these figures all taken from official sources are just a few which validate this. Similarly, we can apply different social theories to validate the behaviors of our consumer market and the likelihood that they will respond to our app.
  • #10 *** JAKE to read*** We believe that the theory of social influence can be used as a marketing tool for our app. The basics behind the theory is that social groups have a self-made hierarchy with people at the top being able to influence others. If we market towards those at the top of the social hierarchy, both in terms of social media (instagram or youtube influencers) and at universities, more people are likely to follow.
  • #11 **** JAKE to read***** Another theory that can be applied is the Hawkins Stern Impulse Buying Theory. In its most basic form, the theory states that people will impulse buy alongside rational buying. Impulse buying is encouraged by external stimuli, an example being student loans given students disposably income. This will encourage them to go out and go to events and make them more open to adopting new ideas. If we market in these periods, we are more likely to get a better response.
  • #12 ** JAKE to READ ***
  • #13 *** EMILY to read**** - To gain more of an insight about our potential customers, we conducted a closed question survey. - We found that our appeal was with 16-24 year olds, however over 80% of all participants interviewed did say they were interested in the idea. - Similarly, the product most appealed to DE socio-grade as they have the most disposable time and 72% of all participants believed they would use the app either everyday or a few times a week. - As per our previous research, people prefer monthly subscriptions which would support the idea of integrating a streaming service into our app. Again, Spotify would be the best option as 64% used Spotify.
  • #14 *** EMILY to read **** - We also conducted a focus group to pitch our initial ideas to potential consumers. We decided to have the focus group as an open discussion so we could collect qualitative data alongside the quantitive data from our survey. In the center of the slide are the 3 main ideas raised from our participants. 1) They believe the app would only work with a large music library 2) They would be more likely to use it with an easy layout. 3) They think the app will be more successful if its adopted by social butterflies. They also gave room for thought with one participant questioning how easy it would be to get people to use it when our competition is doing a similar thing. They think the map idea should be focused on as it is more unique.
  • #15 JORDAN – Thank you for listening, if you have any questions about our app please feel free
