Money Saving Ideas #1
MUSIC Transport is concerned with your bottom line and want you to be able to maximize your touring revenue. By employing established direct, non-stop flight routes, we can help you minimize problems that arise with multiple connecting flights. Unexpected costs happen when all of your planning doesn't go as expected. We can help you with information about what flights will be the least problematic as you move your performance equipment around the globe. Nobody wants delays and missed connections on a world tour - not you and not us. By working together we can help to identify the most reliable carriers and the most reliable routes. Then each of us will have less to worry when doing our respective jobs to get your show on the stage on time and on budget.
Money Saving Ideas #2
In your rushed and hectic daily routine to get your shows moved to their next venue, it may not seem apparent that ocean shipping is an option. Certainly, ocean shipping is less expensive than air freight. And aside from pirates off of the coast of Africa, it's very safe. Perhaps at the end of a tour, when it's not urgent to get the regular equipment, set, stage, backdrop, props and costumes or cables to their final destination, you could consider this option. MUSIC Transport is able to get very competitive ocean freight rates as we have the buying power of 14 offices. If your non-essential items require half of a truck or more, this is a very cost effective option.
The transportation Industry working with the entertainment industry:
As Eastern Europe opens new venues and becomes more enthusiastic about Western music and live performances, we must all become familiar with this young marketplace. Performing in Split (Croatia) or Prague (Czech Republic) or Warsaw (Poland) is not exactly like a show in New York or London or Paris. MUSIC Transport has excellent working relationships with our shipping counterparts throughout Eastern Europe and Russia. Because of our Museum exhibition experience through our parent company, Masterpiece International, we have been shipping in and out of those areas for years. So we can help get your equipment to these new, exciting areas. Our capable shipping partners there will assist with efficient Customs dealings for import and export. They can also aid in arranging transports within their country by ground and can help with country to country truck shipments. In short, this emerging area can be part of your tour plan with MUSIC Transport and our partners.
