Re: Just an idea said by rahvin112:It's ignorant to assume that someone making $1 a day is going to spend that on a movie produced in a culture they aren't familiar with and care very little about. For starters I would have to agree with you 100%. Do you think that is who is buying movies at $20 to $40 now, people who make a dollar a day.
I think people under estimate the power of convenience. Just an example, how many people do you know that buy 5, 6, 10 $1 bic lighter a year? People would download the same movie God knows how many times in a lifetime for a $. People would pay the dollar or 2 again just to keep from having to fumble through 500 or a 1000 disks. I'll bet you there are well over 20 people who frequent this sight who never bought titanic for $20 or at all. I'll also bet you there are 20 plus people on this forum who never bought titanic, but would buy it 2, 3, probable more times in their lifetime for a dollar or 2. It just seems you would make more money in the end selling convenience to people. I just believe the majority of Americans, Europeans, Asians, and ever other developing nation would spend more if the price was right and convenient. I really don't think the movie and music companies have ever targeted your suggested demographic, but I could be wrong. |
