This past week, Noah and I began our meticulous search for the perfect online recorder deal. We looked at website after website until finally coming across an organization called WestMusic. They have a wide selection of instruments online and give free shipping to anyone who purchases over 100 items. Noah and I knew this was the best website we had looked at thus far. Before placing an order, I thought to myself, maybe we should send an e-mail to this organization explaining who we are and our intentions with the recorders. After sending that e-mail Tuesday night, we anxiously awaited a reply. Thursday morning, I received an e-mailed from WestMusic and it read...
Dear Tim,
That's a great service that you're doing in the Peoria area and for St. Jude's Research Hospital!
We can offer you a discount on the one-piece Harmony soprano recorder #401172 so that each would be $1.58 instead of our advertised discounted $1.95 price. If you order 100 or more, the shipping is free.
Noah and I were actually interested in a model one step above the one listed in the e-mail. This time, I called our WestMusic Associate (Kathy), and thanked her for helping us with our mission. I then asked if she would be able to lower the price for a recorder one step above the one she included in the e-mail. After a few calculations, Kathy said she could lower the listed price of $2.50 down to $2.02. Enthusiastically, I accepted the offer! I told Kathy I would keep her up to date on our adventures and again thanked her for WestMusic's kind donation.
After talking with Kathy, I was forwarded along to a sales associate (Melinda) and placed an order for 200 recorders. The next day, all 200 arrived!! (Check out the attached picture of what our recorders look like!)
This situation reminded us of the importance to ask and think "BIG"
