Introduction Hi! I make great sax straps!

[strapman]

Hi everyone,

I thought you might be interested in visiting my site.

http://www.greatsaxstraps.com

I am the owner of the company, we are a small cottage business. We make high quality unique comfortable and affordable saxophone straps. Stop by and take a look.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi strapman,

Might be nice to join in the forum conversations a little if you can and perhaps ask Pete if advertising is ok (if you haven't already).

Anyway, had a look at your site/range... do you do any 'string' type straps at the moment?.

Cheers Ken.

Yes I was wondering about the advertising situation. I'm all for cottage industries but I would need to have a separate section for product announcements if there a quite a few.

Or we could suggest that anyone advertising or announcing products on the forum could offer a discount for the Breakfast Room members, or else donate to my charity fundraising.

Hi Ken,

No string straps at the moment.

I looked for a link to email Pete directly to see if he wanted to exchange links but didnt see any direct email address. I figured with the size of the links page that what Im doing would be of interest to Sax players and therefore would be allowed. I guess if I was mistaken the thread will be removed. Thanks for looking

Hi Garry,

Of course your products are of interest.

And I think either of Petes ideas are great !

Incidently I much prefer the hook in the pic for student model strap and no neck pad...they're great

Hi guys,

I kinda screwed up here. First of all, I didnt really look at Petes Site prior to making that post. I looked at the links page but missed the part that says this is a totally non profit site. Had I seen that I would not have posted the link. Sorry.

Secondly, I had no Idea who Pete was. Im a former guitar player and the sax strap line was an afterthought for my guitar strap line so I didnt realize Pete was so acclaimed. Also, being as small as we are, we are currently not soliciting business outside of the US because of the added burdon of extra paperwork, duties, VAT ect.

All this being said, unless I can find a quick, easy, painless way of shipping abroad then Im going to restrict my shipments to the US.
I have no problem offering a discount to Breakfast Room members or
donating the discount to Petes Charity. I was thinking about a 10% discount or contribution. Pete could decide which.

Hope this helps to clarify things. Thanks

Garry

You'll find an opening for 'the rest of the world' when the time is right.

Go easy on yourself about your post huh? 😉

Ok then 10% to my charity. I'll trust you to sort that out when you get an order from here. It's obviously up to the Breakfast Room members to make it known when you order that you are from the Breakfast Room.

Sounds good Pete,

Thanks for the opportunity, both to sell a few straps and also to help advance your cause.

Anyone wanting to buy straps please attach a note to your order telling me that you heard about us at the Breakfast Room. If you have any trouble attaching a note please email me separately at
[email protected] so I can make sure I know you came from here.

Thanks

Garry

Thanks very much. I think it would be best if you post an announcement in the Yard Sale Section.
