Question

Why do you think vinyl records are appealing to customers?

Answer 1

Vinyl appeals to customers firstly due to its attached sentimental values. The newer experience is what carrier over with every purchase they make, since most music is downloaded through a service, it does not have the same experience for the customers as opening a wrapper, having an actual product in the sleeve, and therefore a sentimental bond is formed with the product. It appeals to the collectors, since the ease of access to music makes every new download the same, while a vinyl represents the golden age of music, every vinyl record becomes a collectible of sorts and has a far more aesthetic appeal to the customers when compared with other forms of media like CDs or online download. Thirdly, we can say that the pristine audio quality is something we miss in today’s digital age due to file size restrictions, digital format conversion, compression etc, which appeals to some customers.
