If you build it, will they come? FAST Channels TV

In the 1989 sports fantasy film, Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner’s character is famously told, “If you build it, he will come” by a mysterious whisper in the middle of a corn field in Iowa. Often misquoted as “If you build it, they will come,” for some the phrase has come to mean that all you need to achieve success is to provide a venue or platform and all your dreams will come true.

However, we all know that simply creating a physical manifestation of an idea doesn’t guarantee people will use it, buy it, or visit it. So, the phrase really means that if you put effort and belief in the success of a project into that project, it's more likely to succeed.

And so it goes with a FAST channel. If you are a content owner, we can create your channel, arrange the distribution vehicles, and even create a custom-branded OTT app for you, but the channels that succeed understand the importance of customer acquisition.

In that respect, a FAST channel is not so different to other platforms and technologies. Content owners have to understand the target audience for their channel and drive viewership. Social media is a great way to promote video content, with sophisticated audience targeting and easy sharing to help the most engaging snippets go viral. Email marketing, referral schemes, and cross-channel promotion can all play a part in reaching your target audience.

Finally, love your content! Refresh it, keep it interesting and keep your viewers coming back for more and they’ll tell their friends.

Then, perhaps in the words of the prophetic parody scene in Wayne’s World 2, “If you book them, they will come.”
