Amidst increasing concerns about Major Record Labels downsizing over coming months, independent businesses are recognizing their leverage in the market place.

 Figures published by the IFPI (Recording Industry in Numbers, 2007), stated that the global music market had fallen by at least 5% in 2006. That’s over one billion US dollars. Recent Nielson Soundscan reports for US sales covering the first 6 months of 2007 indicates a further decline of 15.1% (230 million units) in physical sales. According to Kennedy, IFPI Chairman/CEO, there has been at least 20 billion illegal file downloads in 2006 (Billboard, 2007). An accusing finger has been pointed towards internet publishers with online communities that put content control into the hands of subscribers. Allowing them to upload and download at their leisure with little to no surveillance.

 Over the past few months Billboard has been reporting news on how Major Labels such as Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, WEA, and EMI have been handling the situation, highlighting a series of mergers, acquisitions, changes in management teams and business models. The focus is now on controlling music piracy and capitalizing on digital sales.

 The very same media that threw a spanner into the works of Major Record Labels, namely the internet, has given independent music businesses much needed leverage. By breaking down the barriers that once stood in the way of marketing, promoting and distributing their products and services. The influx of social communities such as YouTube and Myspace has further aided this process by facilitating greater networking and content sharing.

 One organization that identifies further scope for niche marketing on the internet is Coconut Media (CM) with the unleashing of their new service Caidirectory.com. This is the first international Christian Arts Industry (C.A.I) Directory; a one-stop location featuring a wide spectrum of businesses and ministries covering production, marketing, promotion and distribution worldwide. Subscribers include Record Labels, Cable Broadcasting Networks, Online stores, Publications, Production Companies and a host of other specialist areas.

 CM developed this service with concerns that the lack of structure in the Christian music and entertainment industry is causing ministries and businesses to get lost amidst a crowd of products and services on the World Wide Web. CM believes that Caidirectory.com will prove to be the ideal industry companion for those in the office or on the move, a vital asset to any arts based Christian business’ marketing mix.

 CM also takes into consideration the varied needs of independent ministries and business across the globe and has broken down barriers to entry by making the Directory free and offering free listings. This will help to accommodate ministries and businesses in areas such as the Caribbean and Africa where western traders such as Visa, Delta, MasterCard and American Express may not be so readily accessible. This free listing service is also set to generate a lot of traffic to www.Caidirectory.com  providing attractive prospects for advertisers wanting to maximize their audience reach.

 Coconut Media is an independent Marketing, Media and Business development organization whose emphasis is on promoting Christian content through the effective development and strategic positioning of quality ministry, arts and entertainment.
