GuitarGuard Announces Record Sales at Summer NAMM, Inks An Exclusive Distribution Deal With The Venerable The Music People Inc. & Is Awarded ‘Best In Show’
New York, NY (July 27, 2009) — New York City-based GuitarGuard, LLC experienced an impressive showing at this year’s Summer NAMM in Nashville (July 17-19). The company generated unprecedented sales volumes, inked an exclusive distribution deal with TMP, Inc., and its new NeverKink Cable Clip was awarded ‘Best In Show’.
GuitarGuard’s patent-pending cable management device, NeverKink, was awarded ‘Best In Show’ by the NAMM University . This is the second show “Best” the company has received this year; MacsimumNews.com bestowed GuitarGuard’s protective skin collection with that honor at Winter NAMM in January.
In addition, GuitarGuard—aided by marketing consultant Jeff Moore of J. Moore & Associates—secured an exclusive distribution deal with one of the industry’s preeminent manufacturing, marketing and distribution companies, The Music People, Inc. Through its On Stage Gear Division, TMP becomes the exclusive provider and global distributor for GuitarGuards new NeverKink cable Clip. TMP will have exclusive rights to the product for all retail, dealer, and OEM sales inquiries and opportunities.
“The ability to leverage off of TMP’s 30-year legacy in the business is priceless,” said Post. “TMP was attractive not only for their strength in the MI realm, but also for their entrepreneurial spirit and family-run history. GuitarGuard will continue to design and develop new and unique products for both hobbyists and pro-musicians, and we’re excited to have TMP onboard to help us bring these products to market through their vast experience, retail relationships, shipping logistics, and OEM capabilities. It’s a win/win for everyone.”
“We noticed that Larry’s booth at Summer NAMM had a crowd; when we saw his product, we immediately recognized it as the kind of simple, effective, and innovative product we look for,” says Jim Hennessey, President of TMP, Inc. “After 30 years in the industry, we know a hot product when we see one!” TMP has long-standing relationships all across the country, including the top 200 dealers in America. With an exclusive North American and non-exclusive worldwide distribution agreement, TMP can bring to bear its vast and proven network of dealers.
