Page 7: Media convergence presentation

Social Networking and why it is important.

- Facebook has 800 million active users online.- Only THREE countries in the world are larger than that.- USA = 307 million, India = 1.17 billion, China 1.33 billion.

-Twitter has 100 million users online (September 6th 2011)- Almost the size of Mexico!

How effective Social networking is!

Gary Vaynerchuk:- A well known Wine critic blogger but also very recently a business entrepreneur.

- Spent $7500 on a Billboard $7500 on a magazine ad and ONE Tweet

=> End Result was that the ONE Tweet ended up generating more sales than the billboard and the magazine ad.

- ”I think we are starting to humanize businesses, and the fact that people want to have relationships with Puma and Nike and Coke and Pepsi is a very interesting early development of what's going on in the social

web”

Overall this shows that interacting and socializing with consumer’s have been proven to make business's more successful than traditional advertisements.

Other reasons why business's are using social network sites more often.

• FREE! Advertising• Getting the message out their efficiently.• A chance to know your audience on a personal

level and the opportunity to know what they want.

• Less time consuming.

Page 13: Media convergence presentation

Disadvantages of the changes in technology.

• Job losses• Expensive to buy – smart phones / tablets • Not everyone has access• Not user friendly• Unable to find support

Page 14: Media convergence presentation

Challenges within the Industry.

•What consumers want?

•Competition?

•Time and cost?

•Changes in technology?

Page 15: Media convergence presentation

Consumers want the new technology on offer in other parts of the world. • 4G - a fast mobile data connection, is available in some countries, but not the UK.

• HD TV – Had been available in the late 90s in USA, but only became widely available in the UK over the last 5 years.

• Digital Switchover – Huge campaign to get the UK to switch by 2012.

• 3D TV – 3D has become increasingly popular, due to films formatted in 3D; the media industry has found a gap in the market to give consumers the choice of watching films, TV shows and sport in 3D at their home.

• More choice – Consumers want to watch TV shows on demand. TiVo has been introduced in the UK recently, however the US have had it for around 20 years.

What consumers want.

Page 16: Media convergence presentation

• Introducing new services is very time consuming.

• The digital radio switchover will not be complete until 2019.

• The cost of getting people to switch could be a problem. A lot of people who listen to radio, listen to it in their cars. Not many car manufacturers currently offer digital radio as an option. It will cost consumers a lot of money to either change car or buy costly radio systems to receive the service.

Time and cost.

Page 17: Media convergence presentation

• TV companies such as Sky have over 10 Million customers. This is due to the vast amount of channels it offers its customers, as well as HD channels and recording.

• Virgin Media is the only major competitor Sky has.

• TiVo was launched in the UK briefly in 2000, but because Sky launched its Sky+ service in 2002, it was discontinued.

• This is an example of how big media companies have dominance in the UK, outside competition cant really compete on the scale of Sky.

Competition.

Page 18: Media convergence presentation

• The popularity of internet tablets has increased with the introduction of the iPad.

• One way this has affected the media industry is because of the ease of getting news and information. We are finding ways of getting information and newspaper sales have been affected. Sales of The Independent dropped by 27% this year, partly because people are finding it easier to get news else ware.

• One way to alter the declining sales is offer an online newspaper. Users subscribe to the service and receive the same content, but in interactive form.

Tablets.

Page 19: Media convergence presentation

• Globally, 800 million people use facebook to communicate with family and friends.

• In a recent documentary, Facebook is apparently one of the best places to go for Market research for companies. Instead of companies going out to get market research, they are turning to social networks.

• Challenges in the industry in terms of social networks are that users are turning to social networks to communicate, rather than make a phone call or text.

Social Networks.

Page 20: Media convergence presentation

• 44.8% of the UK population own a Smartphone.

• Because they are so versatile in what they offer; most offer internet, music, apps, GPS etc, it has affected the sales of CDs, newspapers, games has decreased due to them.

• Electronic Arts, have started to make games for Smartphone's.

• Newspapers and Magazines offer their daily prints in an online format.

• Most music artists now sell their music in MP3 format, due to the fact that CDs are now in decline.

Smartphones.
