BPI is inviting our members to take part in a price survey with Innovation member Into-it before the launch of its Chrome browser extension this summer.    Into-it's extension lets fans replace banner ads with personalised music alerts on their favourite websites, keeping them up-to-date with the latest releases, merchandise and tours from artists they're into. BPI's Director of Insights Leon N.: “The appeal to our labels of replacing banners with personalised alerts is an improvement in the effectiveness of their sales activation promotions. Artist and label engagement with superfans is becoming ever more significant, and Into-it's price survey will help them determine the true economic value of serving alerts to this key group.” Read in Music Week: https://lnkd.in/euvxSZ-W Lee Henshaw
