The Second Move [Video]

By offering more flavors, you will expand your clientele. I would also suggest incorporating a variety of color schemes. They will catch the eye and persuade customers to purchase items that they may have overlooked before.

[There is a faint sound of agreement off screen. Ciel tilts his head, smirking self-confidentally.]

I have experience in this field. I hope you keep my suggestions in mind when you put your merchandise into production.

Thank you, Mister Phantomhive. Feel free to give us your input in the future.

[Farewells are said and a door closes. Ciel walks back into view and picks up a pen. The smirk is gone and, in its place, there is a look of steely determination. He writes something down and glances at the screen.]

What do you look for most in candy? Or toys for that matter? I am also considering offering clothing, though that might be a future endeavor.

Candy should taste good. What 'good' is depends on the person eating it. But I think most can agree that if candy tastes like tires, it's not good.

[Since this person could be a potential costumer (in the future), Ciel manages to not roll his eyes.]

I had no intention of allowing the sweets to taste like tires.

Well, then, you're headed in the right direction. After that, it's all about imagination.

[Gabe just smirks, he knows he's not really being helpful....at all.]

You're incorrect. It's about business sense.

You're an impressive business man.

I cannot speak on candy or toys, but in clothing a prefer muted colors. Simple clothing, I must admit, but finely made. I prefer practicality over flourish.

I have had significant experience in the field. [Mostly from watching his father do business, but shush. He has learned a lot in the past three or so years.]

So you prefer quality over a variety of hues. [He nods. That makes sense.] I think most citizens would agree with you. Buying clothes constantly would be a waste of money.

Agreed. However, having a variety can also attract more customers. While I would hope most would lean towards modesty and practicality, many tend not to. This could, however, be to the benefit of the market.

Every detail should be considered before marketing anything. [He knows that already.] Though it's best to start simple and appeal to specific interests before a line branches out.
