The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
As an executive, you can use demand data analysis for "Early Edition" during December 2023 in the United States to make more informed decisions about content and acquisition. Firstly, demand can be used to calculate content valuation by revealing the dollar value contribution of any title to any platform in any region. By using demand, you can estimate how much a specific title will bring to a platform, the most popular content in a specific market or globally, how a title drives engagement, acquire titles that exhibit opportunity for increased engagement, and test the scalability of a concept.
Using demand data, you can estimate the show's ability to drive subscriber acquisition and retention. The insight into the drop in demand by 26.6% during December can be used to address possible viewer fatigue or other issues that could lead to a decline in subscriber engagement. By assessing the TV series' ability to drive subscriptions and maintain engagement over time, executives can make informed programming decisions and perfect the pre-release marketing strategy to optimize viewing rates.
Further using demand data, the content can be optimized for retention and growth by assessing its competitive benchmarking, targeting appropriate platforms for distribution, and assessing the best pricing and release strategy. The information about where the show is most demanded can also guide distribution decisions.
By comparing the performance of "Early Edition" on a rolling 1-year basis vs the last 30 days, you can get insights into its popularity trends. The increased popularity of the show in the last 30 days compared to the previous year can be useful information for executives to further promote the show, attract more subscribers, and update the content strategy for the platform.
