higher prices don't necessarily equate to higher profits...there very well could be decent profit margins in school program equipment. (might not be, too, but I expect its gotta be decent else why bother adding the line)School programs don't generally buy the higher end stuff do they?
Correct. At some point sheer numbers will work in the retailer's favor.higher prices don't necessarily equate to higher profits...there very well could be decent profit margins in school program equipment. (might not be, too, but I expect its gotta be decent else why bother adding the line)
The iPhone is the least profitable cell phone on the market, for example.
Yea back in the day the YAS - 23 (Yamaha beginning model) standard alto sax was going for $1199.00.I was looking at their saxes...950 for the cheapest one and over 12k for the top end Barritone.
A more foundational approach, or (used to be) happened during budget planning between the state and/or local bureau and the ISD or independent school districts. It used to rely on above average KPIs such as student body volume of participation, and performance grades at regional and state participations.School programs don't generally buy the higher end stuff do they?
That I was going to mention and I alluded to it.Yes I got a small newspaper advert in the mail last week from them showcasing band and orchestral instruments as well.
I've never sold instruments but I've been around them for 40 years and one thing I can't understand is how someone can call an 800 number, talk to a "sales engineer" and expect to get accurate knowledgable information about an Apollo Audio Interface and that person can recommend a clarinet?

That is incorrect. The new SE is the least profitable of their line, but Apple holds a 66% profit share in the phone market. They're the third best selling phone worldwide, but they hold the largest profit share in the market. Samsung is second at 17%.The iPhone is the least profitable cell phone on the market, for example
Does the school system usually pay for this?We've got a mom&pop store here hanging on for life and school band instruments keep them afloat which I'm grateful and happy for. I hope Sweetwater doesn't put that in danger or become a dark cloud over such existing stores.
