Announcement of Results of Joint Survey by Dream Incubator and Boardwalk Concerning Music Concert Attendance based on \u201cConnection recommendations*\u201d\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Connections between fans support expansion in artists\u2019 fanbases;<\/strong>
\nStrong recommendations between closely connected people
\n(spouses, significant others, parents and children) impact fanbase growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Recommendations made by close connections such as family or significant others<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Business producing company Dream Incubator Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Takayoshi Yamakawa, President and Representative Director; \u201cDI\u201d) jointly conducted a survey with investee Boardwalk Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Masanobu Endo, President and Representative Director) to discern the effects of \u201cconnection recommendations\u201d (when a person goes to a concert on the recommendation of an existing fan) on concert attendance. Boardwalk operates \u201cticket board,\u201d the largest e-ticketing service in Japan with over 8.7 million members.<\/div>\n

[Questionnaire Survey]
\n\u30fbRespondents: 3,524 people (ticket board members\uff09
\n\u30fbSurvey period: November 1, 2019 to November 11, 2019 (11 days)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u25a0 Summary of results<\/strong><\/div>\n
1.\u00a0Strength of recommendation*1 when inviting someone to a concert is high for spouses and significant others and low for friends.<\/strong><\/div>\n
2.\u00a0The rate of inviting new fans (i.e., those who were not previously fans) is high among invitations offered between parents and their children, suggesting parent-child relationships would be an effective target to widen the range of the fanbase.<\/strong><\/div>\n
3.\u00a0Fans of artists with longer careers are more likely to invite spouses or significant others, while fans of artists with shorter careers are more likely to invite their parents or children.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0From the above results, we can estimate that committed fans*2 of an artist enhance their supporting activities by recommending the people with whom they are closely connected (spouses, significant others, parents, children, etc.) attend the artist\u2019s concerts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*1.\u00a0Strength of recommendation: The ratio of respondents who gave one of the following two reasons for inviting someone: \u201cthey wanted them to see how good the artist was\u201d or \u201cthey thought the artist was a good fit for the person\u2019s tastes\u201d
\n*2.\u00a0Committed fans: Fans who actively try to attend concerts of the artists they like (more than ordinary music fans)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u25a0 Strength of recommendation for a given artist becomes higher the closer people are to each other in their everyday lives<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0Comparing the strength of recommendation by connection type of concertgoers, we see that it is highest for spouses and significant others and low for friends, with parent-children relationships and siblings falling somewhere in the middle. It appears the strength of recommendation becomes higher the closer people are to each other in their everyday lives. We think this indicates that committed fans get even more enjoyment out of being a fan when they communicate the appeal of an artist to someone with whom they are closely connected to in their daily lives.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u25a0 High rate of new fans among people invited by their parents or children<\/strong>
\nComparing the rate of invited people who were new fans by relationship type, we see that the new fan rate goes up when invitations are made from parents to children or vice-versa. This means we can expect to expand the range of the fanbase by increasing the number of new fans through parent-child invitations. However, it is necessary to devise ways to turn new fans into repeat concertgoers.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u25a0 Fans of artists with longer careers tend to invite spouses or significant others<\/strong>
\nTotaling the connection type between the inviter and invitee for each artist type, we see a high ratio of invitations between spouses or significant others for artists with longer careers and a high ratio of invitations between parents and children for artists with shorter careers. As the career length of an artist increases, so does the average duration of fandom and the likelihood that fans will be married. We can expect continuous growth in the fanbase by taking in fans\u2019 spouses.
\nOn the other hand, fans of artists with shorter careers tend to invite parents or children (high new fan rate). Focusing on these will cause rapid growth in the fanbase.<\/div>\n

\u00a0It is possible for Boardwalk to obtain information on concertgoers that includes information about the people they go to concerts with. Conducting surveys focusing on this kind of data could be useful for marketing.
\nFor example, we can expect to expand the fanbase by incorporating measures such as offering parent-child discounts or family discounts and setting up nursery facilities. By making use of the characteristics of e-ticketing, it is also possible to support committed fans through new value-added services such as travel and dining experiences packaged with concert admission.<\/div>\n
