Buying patterns 2

Feist sells many products to a smaller group of

people.

This is because she is not famous enough to reach a

lot of people with 1 product.

For her album ‘The Reminder’ there are several

editions and bonus features for this album.

Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down)

Feist's solo debut album, was released in 1999. It

contains 10 songs, including "Monarch" and "That's

What I Say, It's Not What I Mean.“ The album was

produced by Dan Kurtz who would later form

Dragonette.

Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down)

Name ‘Feist’ is one of the main features of the front

cover. This shows her name is a big selling point

for the Digipak.

Also on the front cover

there is a woman whom we

can only assume is Feist

The title of the Digipak is samller and

less important than the other title, yet it is

the name of the Digipak and tells the

customer what it is called.

The use of the yellow and

orange on the Digipak will

attract attention. It is also

very calm and not over

powering.
