Why is Target gonna go bankrupt or broke because of one album not being sold in their store?

Have you ever heard of sarcasm? They're literally going to lose millions of $, though.

I don't think they're doing it to make a point to Beyonce, it's for other artists. Beyonce is obviously better off with this business plan and doesn't need Target, but other artists might, and this decision to not sell the album helps deter other artists from doing this.

It's just going to make the public buy the album at other retailers instead, and destroys any chance of Beyonce giving them an exclusive ever again. It's honestly the dumbest decision they could have possibly made.

I stan for Target. They are smart in doing this. It's the perfect way to keep Physical CDs being sold in their store.

But, the thing is... Why set an example with an album that is destined to succeed? Like, this isn't going to hurt her or the album. If I were going to set an example, I would have done it with someone who would do terrible w/o store sales...

The only thing this is doing is increasing iTunes + Amazon sales because now I have to order a copy online from Amazon. Consumers will GLADLY go to another source to get this album or any album.

Wait, do they know about business? They don't want money? fuuumeeeeee

[Being Human]

That was some bad sarcasm then.

Doesn't Target donate to antigay groups anyway?

They won't. Because if every physical store refuses to carry it, atleast ONE will change its mind and hurry to grab that monopoly position of being the only retailer selling albums. That won't last long, cause another store will join in and so on so on until we're back were we started...

Good, I'm personally sick of Target getting all these exclusive albums making me have to buy from them. Now they can sit and lose millions.

All they're doing is giving business to other stores, not making a statement.

Exactly. This is so dumb.

What are you talking about? Did you not even read the article? They're refusing to sell the best-selling album of the year because another retailer got the exclusive first. That's not a logical business decision, it has everything to do with their personal feelings about digital retailers getting something before they do.

Target is not a person, it can't have personal feelings. That is literally the stupidest thing I've heard all day. It IS a logical business decision because it's a preventative measure that is attempting to keep other artists from releasing their album on iTunes a week early. Digital retailers are still competitors even though Target doesn't sell digital music. Did YOU read the article? It may not have a huge impact on Beyonce, but if they don't take a stand, other artists may do the same thing and it will affect their business.

Well in the first few quotes, it's summed up that it takes away from physical demand. Basically, selling 618k on iTunes alone -- to them it doesn't make sense to severely stock her album, if so many have already purchased it due to the exclusivity. It's logical in general, but as I said, it should be circumstantial; not just a set business decision. Using their common sense, they could tell this album will continue to sell strongly.

I doubt they'll hold out long when they see the sales for the next 2-3 weeks.

well f*ck you too target
