In the early days of Spotify, they found that geographical density played a crucial role in signing up users. They focused their marketing efforts on college cities in the US, where consumers were more likely to be music enthusiasts. This targeted approach was highly successful and helped them to find their first audience. Spotify believes that launching globally from day one is not always the right approach for internet companies.
