Zavvi calls in 'restructuring team' as Woolworths fallout spreads

Music and DVD store is unable to stock its stores or sell music online

The problem with Zavvi and major music chains is that they have forgot why people go to music stores. Storing a zillion copies of the latest Take That album is not going to boost sales as people who buy those albums are more likely to buy it during their normal shop at Asda or Tescos. People go to music stores for variety and to listen to music they have not heard before. Most people are willing to pay the extra £1 to pick up a CD in store if they come across a more obscure gem.
