His name is caste, hear a synopsis of how you. started.

Rentals has struck a chord hitting a high. a harmonious note is actually doing very well. So, let's hear directly from casting I'll come back at the end to wrap up this episode is bad. You buy.

I've got very like you can stop like active lifestyle. Tussles is Texas, remove featured originally on episode, seven hundred and six. Do we rent marimba, which are percussion instruments similar to a xylophone primary? We read that metal and high school students, so bacon practice at home, my colleague chuckled and with great caution and in twenty seven

and I knew that I would need to purchase drumsticks and books and practice pads and all that. But I was surprised to find out that I needed to rent a marimba for him to practice at home

Why did the research that wasn't really thrilled with the rental options out there? They seem like they were extensive and inconvenient. They had long contracts and hidden charges, blush trips to the music stored. All this monster marimba back and forth. So I started looking up. You were on the one great listen, Facebook marketplace and those there were quite a few used, marimba foresail out there, so I just purchased five of them and that I'm gonna, try and see. If I can rent is so. I set up a website then connected with online conscription, billing system and then start running Edward adds that generate some interest and fund. I would charge a bit less than the competitors and make it much more. Could being S with free delivery and pick up a really focus on just making it had? No brainer takes a decision within a proper way.

So five November threaten- and I purchased ten more and get it again and again that it again and it was really just really a perfect educate. There was already a market that had been created. There were already percussion instructors requiring their kids to refugees, but but it was really underserved market. You know that the music school that we're doing it got like they were kind of old music store stride and they were doing a tendency in an old archaic way, and yet I can. I can order cookies and haven't delivered by helping fifteen minutes imo. Why does have to be so so difficult? So our business was grown steadily, simply launched in twenty seventeen, but we were particularly well. The dishes were covered, his more students were practicing from home, and parents were looking for more convenient, shouldn't safer options such as having their parental, delivered contact rig it they too. So you know during that period, are our business really doubled over the last year,

We now have over three hundred fifty Miranda deliver rented. So right now our biggest challenges just finding enough for us to support the demands we sent purchasing everything used up until now, so you don't waste. We basically purchased everything we can find in taxes should we still have customers on awaiting were still so. We started working with manufacturers to purchase new were in those, but you know that can bring its own set of challenges. You know they dont have warehouses full of the members that we need to pay a centrally filled. Marimba. You know You ordered them, which can take you dont can take much to get just can remember sometimes, so are we working with them serve to make longer term commitments to him, so they can order. The necessary parts

and get ahead of it a little bit of help, speed up the process, for we can get more marimba but faster, downloaded. There's a few people do similar stop in other parts of the country it and I think those areas the market just had been established. Yet so you know they're out there having good having to convince people that they leave the Red Miranda went to the much more much more difficult proposition. We were fortunate that percussion instructors were already requiring their students, Dorette Marimba, much about many, the high schools round here. So we need a consistent body has indeed, we just had a great importance. We had cost effective solution for Labour Party adjusted. Thank you. So much chastity really appreciates that. Giving us off to a great start here in the year and honest when you twenty one was the other Syrians up stepping up to next year. It's got a lot to live up to, but will see now on his website. I would encourage you. Listeners go check. It out is website is tat.

Marimba stack up, and you may think one not really in the market to rent a marimba in the state of Texas, the whole place to go and look and see how people design these projects, What can we learn from them? How can you apply them in your life? You know to whatever market is in your part of the world in something that you have knowledge energy might encounter so some specific advice from casting. Do we didn't actually, including the episode said I would make sure that the market already exists, but its underserved so to that, I would make sure the market already exists, but its underserved showing his case, his high score needed to render marimba, apparently that's pretty common as he learned, but he was disappointed with the existing member rental services so anyway, on his website, Texas members, dot com, it states that benefit very clearly. As I said, this is so simple. It says: rent a three octave practice marimba for just thirty five dollars a month, you'll spin sixty dollars to rent the same one elsewhere. So just imagine if you are in,

aftermarket of needing to rent a marimba for yourself or more likely your high school student? What are you going to do? You know if you're in his area you're going to pay almost fifty percent less and rent from casting. It really has no print right. So such a smart projects, so simple, as I said there really is something that everybody can do and whether even you listening for awhile or you just joining in this year, new year, knew me out to do something for myself when I really hope to demonstrate this fact you, throughout the year with lots of stories, tips throwback episodes like this one, a new feature. We got coming up a whole bunch of stuff because it really is possible, and I want you to be able to do it all right. I once again I'm grateful to cast for helping us with this segment.
