i am exploing an idea based on what sean said. he often downloads stuff he had bought on vinyl or on cd. how do you recoup a recording and what is the most effective way to do so?
the cost of making a record is pretty much parts and labour. you can't do a lot to change it, and it can range from $100 to $1,000,000 or more, the sky's the limit. this is accountable as fixed cost. this may also include things such as artwork.
in the current model, promotion is also accounted as fixed cost. traditionally, one has had to rely on a formula of promotion mediums and methods to try and get your product recognized on the market, and thus, maximise sales. hmm.........
