KEY LEAVES’ RULON BROWN
Key Leaves Launches ‘Music Store Stimulus’ Program
With so many of its retail partners unable to function normally, Key Leaves has announced a “Music Store Stimulus” program. Key Leaves will
credit its dealers for direct sales received at KeyLeaves.com to help support the many brick-and-mortar stores suffering from COVID-19 closures.
This program includes all music stores that are currently part of the Key Leaves Dealer Network in North America and overseas.
Key Leaves is a small family business that is now operating from a quarantined home workshop to make its saxophone key props. Shoppers
on KeyLeaves.com will be invited to name the music store from which they would normally be making their purchase, and if the store is part
of Key Leaves’ dealer network, Key Leaves will compensate the dealer the markup amount from standard dealer prices for that product. The
program is now in effect and will continue until the pandemic subsides and most dealers are open again for business.
