Re: Single Sales
Derek,
All is well and indeed that is good news.
Is there a way that we could price singles differently?
I have a single available (Fulmar--32.20) and would like
to drop the price to say $3.00 or $3.50.
Is there a way to work this out?
I'd be willing to take less and be open to share the
shipping cost with the Baby.
With single song sales going up this would seem to
make sense. Digital is an option but it's a better option
for the majors and better known artists then the
independent at this point.
Just thought I'd run this by you.
Best Wishes,
Paul
