Imagine a hypothetical scenario where Spotify introduces a new
premium subscription tier called "Spotify Beyond." This tier is
designed for enthusiasts who seek an immersive audio
experience, offering features like lossless audio quality,
personalized concert recordings, and exclusive artist
collaborations. The subscription cost for Spotify Beyond is set at
Rs.800 per month. In order to attract a specific type of user who
is prepared to pay a higher membership fee in exchange for an
improved music streaming experience, how may Spotify
strategically promote the new Spotify Beyond tier?
