As part of our-going commitments to our customers we are investigating the possibility of changeing our prices. This is only an investigation and we need your help to help gather statistal info!
Based on 30.00 quid for a piece of music at Devilish Publishing, would you be more tempted to but our titles at half of that price.
It is unfortuate that we are considering lowering our prices, since, this will mean much less going to charity for each sale we make.
At the moment we do not feel that lowering our prices by 50% is the answer to make more sales and our intial calculations say we'll lose substansial amount of money, however this is only theory - we will most likely have a 'trial period' to see if the price change does work, that is if we go ahead with it, in the first place.
What concerns us, as a company, is that bands are happy to pay 40.00 quid for a BB set from Switzerland (not nessesarily from a 'name' composer) but just as equally happy to pay 15.00 quid from a british publisher. We view this is as a serious issue. Through our own investigations, most bands seem to accept that 30 - 40 quid will get you a piece of Brass Band music.
The one thing that we do know is that theory doesn't always make financial sence, the theory being if we were to sell out titles for less, more would buy our titles. Although, we are dedicated to pleaseing our customers in every way we can and if this means meeting to the financial budget of our customers, then we are happy to investigate these matters.
Anyhow, we would really like to hear from you, if you want our prices lowered so you can enjoy our titles, then please air your views, this is the time for action!
We were going to construct this post as a poll, but we really need the fullest feedback from customers possible (both current and soon-to-be customers!)
Many thanks for your time and we'd appreciate your thoughts!

The bands who give me a fair deal now will benefit when my career launches into overdrive. This is they way it works, after all without bands buying my music, how can it be possible to be known!
