3. A Research Question

4. Yes, using OffBeat in Jackson, MS for a local indie artist's album release could be a great idea. OffBeat is known for supporting local music and artists, so they would likely be open to helping promote and sell the album. Working with OffBeat for a local indie artist's album release could help generate buzz, increase sales, and connect the artist with a new audience of music lovers.   Some ideas for promoting the album release at OffBeat could include:   1. Hosting an in-store event or album release party: This could include a live performance by the artist, a meet and greet with fans, and special promotions or discounts on the album.   2. Consigning the album: OffBeat could offer to sell the artist's album in-store, allowing customers to purchase physical copies directly from the store.   3. Leaving samplers: OffBeat could display samplers of the album at the checkout counter or in a dedicated listening station, allowing customers to preview the music before purchasing.   4. Social media promotion: OffBeat could help promote the album release on their social media channels, reaching a wider audience of music fans in Jackson and beyond.
