CD Market

Start your first shop, pick a location, and name your brand to unlock basic operations. Curate inventory by genre, analyze weekly charts and local trends, and order stock with lead times in mind. Set prices, bundles, and discounts, balancing margin and volume to reach daily and weekly revenue targets. Negotiate with distributors and indie artists to secure licenses, limited editions, and exclusive releases. Hire and schedule staff, optimize shelf layouts and checkout flow, and upgrade equipment to boost efficiency. Run marketing campaigns and launch events, expand to new branches or online sales, and outmaneuver competitors with data-driven decisions.
