Pussycat Dolls: Makin' Money
Tuesday, Aug 30
Makin' money in music is not only a product of record sales. It is shows, promotional appearances, and endorsements (if you're reallllly lucky!) etc. But it seems that the Pussycat Dolls are taking it to the next level. Before even releasing their first album, they have a nightclub, a makeup line, and things like a reality show and clothing line in the works. Their record label is an equal partner in all of those ventures.
As recorded-music sales have plummeted in recent years -- due to excessive pricing, weak offerings, lack of consumer interest, and competition from other entertainment -- there has been a search for alternative sources of revenue.And, its beyond the usual touring and t-shirts. Call it more than Merch:
One of the most relevant words in the music business today is 'ancillary,' " says Jeff Haddad, the Pussycat Dolls' manager. "It's no longer strictly music."
