the trend for industries is to become multi-dimensional, it is imperative
for Houli's saxophone makers to go with the flow of the changing
time. They need to explore different market segments for possibilities,
and to realize that the saxophone is a combination of recreation,
tourism, and education, and not just an industry. |

¡@¡@Ever since the popularization of
2-day weekend, our fellow citizens see a greater and greater need
for recreation. The relaxing demeanor of a saxophone is a good match
for the demand for a laid-back activity such as playing saxophone.
If the saxophone industry can be geared toward meeting the need
for recreation, while working together with the tourism industry
to create interests for local attractions, it would be a great business
idea. The Chang Lien-cheng Saxophone Museum and Sax Playhouse are
great examples of how to create a local attraction that's far away
from the noise of the city. |

¡@¡@The
business owner could designate a special area in the factory to
demonstrate its products, or to give a beginner's class on saxophones
for the tourists. This not only will bring more people into the
field of saxophone, it will also nurture potential buyers for the
future. |

¡@¡@Teaming
up with a school's clubs is a good idea as well. Since musical
instrument makers are very experienced and knowledgeable when
it comes to instruments, they could periodically give music seminars
to students to expand their learning opportunities.. This action
not only would bring the saxophone fever to the school campuses,
it would also enhance the popularity of the business, not to mention
attracting a large group of would-be consumers to the business
in the future.

"Chang Lien-cheng Saxophone
Museum" and "Sax Playhouse" are good examples
of diversification.
