Affiliate Marketing Secrets

OK, Bandai has been in tough shape financially for quite awhile now. It is no secret that the K-ON! franchise is their last gasp and hope for survival. K-ON! has become a huge hit, both in Japan and in the US…and Bandai has “bet the farm” on it. If K-ON! doesn’t sell extremely well, Bandai is most likely toast.
So, do you think that Bandai seriously gouging on the new DVDs for Season 1 will pay off, or do you think it is a bad marketing idea that will alienate K-ON! fans. (For those who do not know, Bandai is charging a small fortune for 4-episode packs and they are stretching out release dates on K-ON!)
