How We're Different

Elation Media's business model forecasts seven (7) initial revenue streams, each of which the Company plans to execute within the first 12 months of operation.  These initial revenue streams are described as follows: :

Revenue Stream #1: Advertising Sales

Elation Media plans to sell time to advertisers on its linear (OTV Live) and on demand (OTV On Demand) channels on a scatter or content-specific basis.  “Scatter” refers to non-specific placement of the advertising; “content-specific” refers to placement of the advertising with specific programming.  Pricing will be rate card (price list) and market driven.

Revenue Stream #2: On Demand Consumer Subscription Sales

The Company plans to make clips from its linear channel available on its on demand channels at no charge.  On non-Pay TV platforms, the Company intends to sell subscriptions and a la carte pay-per-view to consumers accessing premium, full length programming.  Non-Pay TV platforms include online, mobile devices, gaming consoles, as well as through aggregators such as Roku, Apple TV, Hulu, Netflix and iTunes.

Revenue Stream #3: Retail Sales (eCommerce and Home Shopping)

Elation Media plans to produce 30 and 60 second home shopping commercials offering holistic, sustainable products that enhance the lives of consumers.  These same products and services will be available for purchase on the Company’s online storefront.  The Company will manage and process all orders; however it plans to fulfill only orders of merchandise proprietary to the Company, such as Company-owned DVDs.  All other orders will be fulfilled by the respective product distributors. 

Revenue Stream #4: Live Event Sales and Pay-per-View

Elation Media plans to generate revenue from six annual Company-produced live events by selling tickets to consumers attending these events.  In addition, Elation Media plans to rent booths or similar retail space to vendors selling products at these events.  The Company intends to broadcast these events live or pre-recorded.  In either case, the Company expects to generate additional revenue from advertising sales and consumer subscription sales when live event coverage is broadcast or otherwise available pre-recorded to the public.

Revenue Stream #5: Program Sales

The Company intends to license its original programming and most of its acquired programming to third party distributors and broadcasters, primarily overseas, for both English and foreign language rights in specific territories for specific media platforms.

Revenue Stream #6: Radio Syndication Sales

Beginning in Month 10, the Company plans to produce and market a daily, live radio talk show to terrestrial radio broadcast stations throughout the U.S. and overseas, as well as online.  Sales revenue consists of ad sales and programming license fees from broadcasters.

Revenue Stream #7: Syndicated/Sponsored Content Sales

Elation Media plans to sell short-form web series and other customized Company content to advertisers and syndicators of sponsored content.  The ads, connected to the Company content, are distributed on demand across thousands of third party websites using ad server networks, and are available to targeted consumers on computers, tablets, mobile devices and social media.
