SHS is offering a collection of bluegrass and other top selling instruments just in time for the outdoor festival season. According to Guy Petty, President and CEO of SHS International “bluegrass instruments, guitars, banjos, and mandolins are always great sellers in festival season. People are travelling, looking for fun things to do, and usually have a few extra dollars to spend. Markets have great traffic and selling opportunities.” SHS International, founded in 1990 is a full-line musical distribution and manufacturing company. Their Indiana Guitar Company products “have been a number one best-seller since 2002. The quality and price point are unmatched in the industry.” Petty has also seen “buying trends moving towards ukuleles and budget-friendly guitars.”
In addition to music festivals, summer is prime time for college visits and events. If your market is near a college or university, you will have many shoppers who are visiting the school or students out on summer break. SHS carries a large line of college guitars, straps, picks, and pick jewelry for many different schools.
“We have twenty five years of experience working with flea markets,” says Petty. “We can give great advice based on your market’s demographic. We know what sells and the price that works.” SHS has no order minimum, so flea marketers can test the products at their own pace. Orders typically ship within twenty-four hours. “If you want to draw traffic in your booth, you need to have products that draw attention,” says Petty. “Our college guitars, ukuleles, banjos, and mandolins do just that.”
