business and are known locally as Top Tunes. They are a small organisation whose primary business goals revolve around identifying good quality up and coming music
artists. They currently have three bands for which they sell music exclusively.

The current pricing strategy is based on a flat rate 20% fee on all music sold; this fee covers music promotion music sales and cover design. There is no upfront
charge; the 20% is only applied after a product has been sold hence no upfront costs for the bands. Music editing as a service is also provided but this is an
additional 10% surcharge on each item sold. Your Vinyl sales are sold at 12.99 per item. Top tunes is not sure if these pricing mechanisms are valid and needs your
guidance in creating a sustainable pricing strategy for the online environment. You will need to factor this into your report.
