Connecting the Dots Music sales at the world’s largest bookseller outperformed the industry. Barnes and Noble sells CDs across all musical genres in 793 stores. To increase the interactive experience of customers and boost sales, Barnes and Noble uses the Dot, from RedDotNet, in its superstores. Customers can listen to any CD in the store, sampling more than 200,000 music titles through the interactive device. Appendix
Enhancing the Experience In October, Hear Music, an alternative record retailer that Starbucks bought five years ago for $8 million, launched a satellite radio station that plays the kind of adult-oriented jazz, blues, and alternative rock that Starbucks has long featured in its stores. The company is also installing kiosks, called Media Bars, in its shops that let customers listen to digital music, create their own compilations, and purchase them while waiting for their grande double latte. Now, with the in-store kiosks, it's possible to mix and match. You sit down on comfortable lounge chairs and use a stylus to click through different genres of music, picking out a single song or up to a dozen. So far, record labels are letting Starbucks sell some of the music from their catalogs -- partly because they see it as a chance to crack the market for new adult music that they have largely ignored. Music sales make up less than 1% of Starbucks' total revenues, and it might be years before they turn a profit. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_47/b3909094_mz017.htm?chan=search Appendix
