The Future of Music Pieces
Several days later, in the evening.
The fourth-floor private room of the company office in the royal capital.
Maryne sat lost in thought.
(Well then... sales are doing well, but there is a problem.)
The New Treatise on Notation and the sheet music.
Their first month's sales were excellent.
However, as time passed, sales would decline.
Because...
(Once someone buys the New Treatise on Notation or a sheet music collection, there's no need for them to buy it again for quite a while.)
Consumable products like cosmetics, for example, had to be replenished once they ran out.
Whenever supplies were depleted, customer demand would return.
But the New Treatise on Notation and sheet music were different.
Once purchased, that was the end of it.
Customers had no reason to buy them repeatedly.
For that reason, even if sales exploded in the first month, she could predict that the number of customers would gradually decrease.
(In other words, if things continue like this, sales will steadily decline.)
So what should she do?
(Simple. I just need to release new sheet music every month.)
One new piece every month.
If she did that, customers would visit the store regularly.
The question was whether she could prepare that many pieces.
(It is possible.)
Maryne smiled.
In her previous life, she had loved music and listened to famous classical masterpieces until she could hardly get enough of them.
Bach.
Mozart.
Beethoven. Chopin. Schubert.
The countless masterpieces left behind by innumerable composers still lived vividly within Maryne's memory.
(The number of masterpieces I remember... is probably no less than a thousand.)
Even if she released one piece every month, there was little risk of running out of material anytime soon.
(I'll announce a new piece at the beginning of every month. If I inform the musicians and nobles of this policy as well, they'll look forward to the next release.)
Create a reason for people to keep coming back.
By doing that, the music would continue selling, and she could even use it as a gateway to sell other musical products.
(I'll go with this idea!)
Maryne nodded.
For now, she would write next month's piece...
No.
She might as well write several years' worth at once.
Thinking that, Maryne immediately gathered a large stack of paper and began writing sheet music.
