They can do it because they have a huge customer base and that offsets the royalties they have to pay for the artists.Originally posted by rainee:I want to either open a shop dealing with music or books...
I am thinking that maybe one day I can do something like iTunes, let people buy individual song instead of having to buy the whole CD...but need to figure out how to get the license to do that first
Another idea is to open a bookstore + cafe, where people can go read the books while having coffee...

The Cafe/book shop idea is actually used everywhere in the world except singapore. I guess there is a fear of singaporeans sitting there the whole day with one coffee and not buying anything.
But chasing them away reduces your customer base esp if your main marketing strategem is word of mouth. For me, I have decided that the solution to this obstacle would be to emply a professional gas bag or mad man.
The Gas Bag will be amiable and talkative but farts really stinky ones so people that sit around too long will move off. The mad man will be quiet but filthly in dressing. He will also be rambling loudly but ultimately harmless.
I will then use these 2 characters to gain notoriety.
