Rather than take the analog sound- CHRISTOPHER WALKEN track from the master videotape, the Bell & Howell duplicators will IN actually sync a digital sound source, which will play parallel to the vid- eos. This is a key selling point, Clott and Doctorow say, pointing out that the Windham Hill Videos work as both audio /video and audio "al- bums." However, Clott adds, "It's diffi- THE MIND SNATCHERS cult to market a product such as this without people seeing it. After see- ing it, however, viewers will want to own them. And they are immensely re- watchable. It's music even better than your imagination." Agrees Doctorow: "It's only by watching the programs that you get a sense of what they are all about. We had a number of private screen- ings around the country with major retailers, and the overwhelming re- sponse was that in -store play was critical." Doctorow concedes that record stores carrying video are very sig- nificant role players in this market- ing scenario, since they have experi- ence with the Windham Hill custom- er. "But," says Clott, "there is also great potential for video -only stores, alternative outlets and life- "DQ nag, Brilliant." style stores." -TH3 VILL ?.CE VOICE Paramount will provide dealers with a promotional tape featuring portions of each program, as well as extensive point -of- purchase material.

Another part of the marketing campaign will be cross -promotions, as Paramount looks to literature in- side each cassette informing buyers about Windham Hill albums, while the record catalog will have refer- ence material about the videos.

If you asked a =inancial advisor what type of manufactur n; or retail business to invest in these days, the answer would probably be "anything to dc with the baby boom ... clothing, toys or a chain of health bow-Apes." Children's business has become big business. The socially consc ous students of the '60s and early '70s nanr make up an army of increasingly af=luient pare-its of the '80s. And as fate would have it, emerging media and technology (home vide), records and cassettes, computer software, high-tech toys, etc. :' couldn't have timed their growth more n synch with the battalions of young children clamoring for that type of product. Home viceo manufacturers and retailers have already learned just how explosive children's vid- ea has become.

The contest last- ed two weeks, and each child was able to take a picture of the new Care Bears animal home, color it, and drop it off any time before the end of the contest.

A Camelot summer promo, the Disney Take -A- Tape -Along, was very effective, reports mu- sic buyer Pat Tidwell, and may even become an annual event.
