WMG will soon begin experimenting with variable download pricing. Few details have been shared, but the trial will be powered by Digonex and technology already in use by Nettwerk, Naxos and PassAlong.
Using Digonex’s patented DigitalOnlineExchange, a dynamic commerce engine that suggests changes to prices based upon behavioral principles, consumers can actively help set prices for select digital albums from WMG’s artists as part of the program. DOE will work with digital retailers to continuously identify the ‘sweet spot’ where prices follow perceived market value and generate the maximum economic return while providing fair prices for consumers.
