VALUE! VALUE! VALUE!
We're now in the process of booking for the 2011-2012 School year! The 2010-2011 school year was even more challenging than last year. No one needs to tell you that. Everywhere, schools are having to do more with less. HISTORY’S ALIVE! is doing it’s best to be your greatest value for the greatest shows you can bring to your great students! I’m trying everything I can to give you even more bang for your Bake Sale bucks!
Pricing: There will be no increase in prices!
So where are those prices? At the request of several of my booking agencies, I can no longer list those prices online. Some people, much smarter than I and much less scrupulous than you, had used my published prices to argue over legitimate travel expenses and business costs. I apologize for this monumental inconvenience. I will happily supply my prices by phone or email. I sincerely make every effort to offer you a competitive price for a truly exceptional show.
Super Recession Fighter Offer
Here's our latest and greatest discount offer. Book a show for September and we'll give you a $100 discount! That's right, a crisp C-note never has to leave your hands! September is light in bookings because your school year has just started. But think of the value of Thomas Edison giving your students tools they will use the entire year!
Savings Strategy #1: Block Booking This was a huge hit in the 2010-11 school year! By performing at two schools very close to one another on the same day, I’m able to offer you a substantial discount. If you call in conjunction with another school in your area, the two schools can split the discount. Check the schedule that follows for a scheduled show near your town. If you are able to schedule your school in the other half of that day, I’ll give you the entire discount ($100 for a single show, $150 for a double). So many schools used this option this past year that even though I had 20% more schools, my performance schedule is ending almost a month earlier!
Savings Strategy #2: Materials are Going Green
Your Teachers’ Guides, Student Worksheets and other promotional materials will be emailed to you. You can save on printing costs by forwarding them to your teachers and students via email. Not only will you be saving the planet, you’ll save a few dollars.
Savings Strategy #3: Money You Don’t Have to Spend
This is “The Field Trip That Comes To You!” You save on insurance—I’m fully insured. You save transportation—I come to you. You don’t have to arrange chaperones—your teachers are already there. You save travel time—show’s over, class is just down the hall!
Think of anything else? Give me a call! I’m doing everything I can to help you and your students.
