The suggestions run the gamut from practical--No. 5 ("Find out your Christian radio station's play list--have the product and display the list in your store") to creative--No. 10 ("Host special events-promote special music events for both well-known and local artists that are not so well known in your store").

The list also recommends making an investment--No. 6. ("Purchase a burn bar-burning CDs will help you reduce parts of your music inventory especially in accompaniment tracks") and becoming technology savvy--No. 9 ("Use social networks both online and face to face-to get the word out, so that you are the best place to come for Christian music").
