Pay-Per
View Best Practices Emerge from the SIIA Brown Bag
-
The latest
SIIA Brown Bag Lunch
was entitled "Subscription, Ad-Supported, Paid Search….BUT
Where is the Pay-Per-View Business Model in the Mix?" The
implication is that in the midst of the latest buzz about
new ways of paying for content pay-per-view has been lost
a bit in the picture. In a backhanded way that's a good
thing, indicating that pay-per-view has moved from its own
trendiness to a working range of successful business
models with proven best practices to share. And share is
just what senior management from Dun & Bradstreet, OVID,
Alacra and MarketResearch.com did - revealing a range of
approaches to successful single sales of premium content.

Outsell's e-briefs(sm)
- Judging from a flurry of recent announcements, you'd
think that what the world needs most is more access to
millions and millions of news and magazine articles:
- Northern Light is back in business and will offer a new
version of its
old Special Collection, called the Business Research
Library. There
will be no free, open Web version this time; the product
will be offered to enterprises on a subscription basis. It
covers 1,900 titles, as opposed to the Special
Collection's 5,000, and this time around there's more
emphasis on business and STM publications, and less
consumer material.
- eLibrary publisher Alacritude has signed a deal with
Thomson's Gale
unit to add Gale content to its collection, bringing the
total number of periodical titles to 2,600. In contrast to
Northern Light, Alacritude
intends to target individual business researchers rather
than
enterprises. A new research product is scheduled for early
2004, and it will include tools for organizing and
delivering content.
- LookSmart has added a free full-text article search
service covering 700 publications, mostly
consumer-oriented.
This "warehouse" model of aggregation has its place, and
there is
probably room for a low-end player to serve the
individuals and
enterprises that can't afford LexisNexis or Factiva.
However, the space is already crowded, and anybody moving
in will also be slugging it out with Google, Yahoo! and
Microsoft. Outside a core of power researchers, these
players have no channel or brand to reach the millions of
potential users out there. In Outsell's opinion, this is
not a dynamic growth market. There may be room for a
low-end provider, but certainly not the crowd that seems
to be gathering here. |
