A year ago in August when we announced out 1/2 price rental sale to counteract the sorry state of the economy their was a couple of things we didn’t anticipate. One - that the economy wasn’t going to improve and two - that the new prices were going to spark so much interest.

We have just completed a study of the receipts from the last year and have come to a conclusion. With the amazing increase in the volume of new customers and the increase in rentals from our existing customers we had a record rental year. So instead of just extending the program like we did in January and March we’ve decided to make it permanent. So help us spread the word and thanks to everyone for the business!

The rental SALE we have been running since August of last year has been one of our most popular promotions. It was created in response to the state of our economy to help our customers coop in these tough financial times. We were hoping that things would have improved by now but the hard times continue to plague all of us so we have been reevaluating our rental department operations.

To permanently lower our rates we have several factors we have to consider. First is the quality of the equipment we offer. Throughout the history of our rental department we have exclusively offered premium professional gear and that decision comes at a high price. One of the things we are looking at carefully is the total cost of ownership over the life of the product. Is the higher cost of the gear compensated by lower upkeep costs and we are exploring alternatives that still offer a high quality of performance with less costs.

Secondly is the cost of delivery of the service. We have to pay for the cost of the space to store the inventory when it is not being rented and we have to cover the labor costs involved in preparing and maintaining the gear. One of the innovations that we introduced in the last few months is to move as much of the rental procedure as possible to our website and the results have been very encouraging. We are in the process of making infrastructure improvements to improve that experience. We have also added new diagnostic equipment to our shop so we can improve our maintenance of the gear to increase our ability to preempt problems before they create equipment failure and down time.

So while we are sorting all of this out we have decided to extend the sale a a little longer. Our 1/2 off rental prices will continue. Please help us spread the word. The more people we have taking advantage of these lower prices the longer we can continue the sale.

CareySound is always looking for ways to improve its Rental services. Our recent dramatic reduction in rates is an example of our commitment in having the best rental operation in the state.

We are please to introduce our newest innovation, our new online reservation request form. Pressing the new "Online Rental Request" button located at the top of the Rental page of our website will take you to our new online request form. Using this form will speed your response on availability, improve our ability to better track your request and speed checkout time when you pick up your gear.

WOW! To say that our rental special has been popular would be a gross understatement. Rental demand has risen dramatically and I would like to convey our thanks to all of you for helping to spread the word. There are a few things that I need to go over–

1 - Due to the increase in demand we have been running low on some items so I strongly suggest that you reserve what you need as far in advance as possible.

2 - Rentals are 'first come — first served' are COD upon pickup–no billing.

3 - We allow guaranteed reservations only with 100% prepayment.

4 - NO REFUNDS on reservations.

5 - Late fees strictly enforced.

6 - Gear listed in our production inventory is not included in this sale.

7 - Please help us spread the word on our rental prices. The more we rent the longer we will be able to keep price down.

We are very close to being out of gear for several dates in October so call NOW. We will do our best to accommodate everybody but our inventory is limited.

One more thing. Since DVD movie rentals have taken over VHS tape rentals many have forgotten the old addage "Please Be Kind–Rewind". You are getting a great deal on your rental so please take the time to carefully rewind all of the cables upon return. Thanks!

SoundMan attended our weekly staff meeting this Monday dressed in bell-bottom jeans and a tie-dyed T-shirt mumbling something unintelligible about just getting back from a Jimmy Hendrix gig and that on Vulcan there were only two days in a week instead of our seven. What the heck?

Thinking it best not upset our fearless leader in his current condition we felt it better to just go with the flow. We decided to, effective immediately, roll back the prices on all of our rental gear by 50% until the end of the year to get into the spirit of the ‘70’s’ and buy some time to get SoundMan to the clinic to get his clock reset. We also decided to reduce our weekly rental rate to twice the daily rate so we could get a little Vulcan action while we were at it.

So quick, before SoundMan comes to his senses, tell everybody you know that it’s rental SALE time at CareySound and our silly competitors still think its 2009.

Important small print stuff:

All rental gear is 50% OFF untill the end of the year including packages AND the weekly rate has been reduced to twice the daily rate. All rentals are prepaid ONLY. We will still take reservations however everyone must prepay 100% of the rental and NO cancelation refunds will be given no matter how sad your story is. LATE FEES will be fully enforced. This applies to all customers and replaces our old Key Club discounts and cross vender rentals. These special rates apply ONLY to the gear listed in the rental section and does not apply to our already low production rates.

There are some new How-To video's in the Movie section. Three of them deal with how to wrap cables. One is on how to set up a tripod speaker stand and one is on how to plug and unplug a Speakon speaker connector.
