After discussing with Baniel for a while, Edward quickly firmed that Baniel indeed had no uanding of advertising or marketing strategies. The theater relied solely on word-of-mouth promotion, leaving the audieo spread the news orally. Despite the world having a developed paper industry, neers hadn't taken off, and there were no effective els for advertising.
The ck of external unication iy's unity meant that information spread retively quickly internally, eliminating the need for deliberate promotion. Thus, a monopoly like the Nosrick Grand Theater never bothered with marketing.
Although Edward initially found this situation frustrating, he soon realized the untapped business opportunity it presented.
Sino one had ventured into this realm before, Edward and his team could bee the pioneers in this field. Even if others eventually imitated their methods, the initial profits would secure their position in the industry.
So, after some thought, Edward decided to expin the cept of advertising to Baniel.
“Flyers? Posters? Branding small items handed out during sings?”
Hearing Edward's simplified expnation, Baniel, who had never sidered such things, looked as if a new world had opened up to him. He excimed excitedly, "Amazing! Lord Durin, your insights are ahead of their time. Now I uand why you could i movies right after creating the Magic Video Recorder and Imaging Crystal. Your wisdom is truly admirable!"
Despite Baniel's high praise, Edward, having experiehe advanced world, was unfazed. What was o this world was a normality to him.
With Edward's ideas, Baniel quickly started preparing the advertisements, beginning with flyers. Although time was tight, the premiere wasn't the st sing. Ednned for the film to run for several months.
Thus, even if the flyers reached people a bit te, they could still attract potential audiehroughout the film's run.
In this world with some printing capabilities, creating flyers was a very straightforward thing. Edrovided yout suggestions based on his experieh flyers and street ads from his previous life. Even a rough imitation of those flyers was effective enough for this world.
Though still crude, these flyers were a y here.
“Should we distribute the flyers now?”
Hearing Baniel’s eagerness, Edward shook his head, saying, “We’ve made goress, but distributing flyers takes time. To eonight’s premiere is successful, we need a fast and effective advertisement!”
“Fast and effective?”
Seeing Baniel’s fusion, Edward smiled and asked, “Where do people gather the most in Nosrick during the evening?”
Caught off guard, Bahought for a moment before replying, “The tral pza. It’s popur because street performers often gather there. Many people go there for a walk after dinner.”
“And?”
“The Nosrick Grand Market and the Pleasure Street are also popur. The former is crowded with families, while the tter is a gathering pce for young people, for reasons you probably uand, Lord Durin.”
Ign Baniel’s suggestive grin, Edward nodded and said, “The’s start with these three pces. We’ll put up movie posters in the most eye-catg spots!”
“Posters? What are those?”
Seeing Baniel’s fusion, Edward decided not to expin iail. “Just find promi white walls in these areas or, better yet, prepare a rge white sheet on a cart.”
“Uh, I’ll get someone on it right away.”
Although unsure of Edward’s pn, Baniel, aware of Edward's superior wisdom, quickly set to work on the posters.
Meanwhile, Edondered. Posters were his first thought, but he realized he didn’t have to stick strictly to ideas from his previous world. This world’s unique element was magic.
Sure, posters were a good idea, but iing magic presented an eveer option.
“Skipping straight te s advertisements before posters eveed? Only in a world with magic could this happen. I’ll need a trailer for that.”
Looking at the sample Imaging Crystal, Edward carefully edited its tents.
Having explored the crystal’s meisms, he had learo manipute its magical sequences for editing.
The final cut, though not perfect, was satisfactory. It included ses of the protagonist and goddess being transported to another world, meeting new panions, using explosive magid entering a headless knight.
While these ses didn’t fully expiory, they looked impressive and intriguing.
After finishing the trailer, Edward added a voiceover announg the premiere of “KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!” that evening at the Nosrick Grand Theater, inviting people to inquire for more details.
With the trailer ready, Edward awaited Baniel’s return. and the other party did not disappoint him, and soon came to him again, and by simply judging from his happy look. It seems that the task set by bim has been pleted.
