Guest Post by **Bobby Owsinski** on [Music 3.0](http://music3point0.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-extras-that-entice-cd-buyers.html?ref=hypebot.com)Everyone knows that if you're music doesn't connect, then nothing else matters, but a [British study](https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bpi.co.uk%2Fassets%2Ffiles%2FMULTICHANNEL%2520BPI%2520ERA%2520research%2520FINAL%2520%28Dec%25202015%29.pdf&ref=hypebot.com) (which [I also quoted yesterday](http://music3point0.blogspot.com/2015/12/streamers-buy-music-too.html?ref=hypebot.com)) has found that certain extras offered with CDs really make a difference when it comes to making a sale.As this chart below shows, there are various extras that streaming listeners take into account before purchasing a CD, including (in order of importance):
- Exclusive tracks not found anywhere else
- Making the disc a limited edition (i.e. #59 of 500)
- Cover artwork designed by the artist
- Priority booking of gig or concert tickets
- Discounted or bundled merch
- Exclusive access to online content
- Membership in a fan community
