Free Stuff from Kelite!

[tomed101]

Should I ask for a shirt or 2 directly?

I would be careful, if you seem to forward they may just see you as trying to get something for nothing (which I suppose you are)

 

[Dustincoc]

That's what I was thinking..

 

[Dustincoc]

Message away.

dustin, there was a link posted for the lee stuff a little while ago in this post, to save you going back and looking for it

here it is
http://www.leefilters.com/lighting/contact/


i would also like to say, after a week of complete lack or responces i have failed in my attempt to get any free stuff, here is the email i sent them all individually.

Dear (i put the company name here)

I am a student at a school in Melbourne, Australia that is desperately
trying to get other students to join a Operational Health and Safety
course that i am running. i was thinking that i might try to entice
them by offering shirts and pens to entice them into completing the
course. so i was wondering if you wouldn't mind sending me some stuff
to use as prizes.

Regards
Ahughes

wasn't the best email ever written, i should have put more detail in it

and putting "i was wondering if you wouldn't mind sending me some stuff
to use as prizes." was a bit to forward i think.

You know, I've been to that page a thousand times. The cinomographers swatchbook threw me.

Anyone know where I can get some of those Shure stickers they send out with the corded mics?

 

[Hughesie]

Yes,

Buy some of their mic's and they will send some out

sorry but there is no such thing as a free lunch, normally

 

[Dustincoc]

We just got some more of their mics, It's just they're wireless and they didn't come with stickers..

 

[Hughesie]

shoot them a nice email like i just did for sennheiser

"Hey Sennheiser,

i just thought i would drop you a line and tell you how much i love
your products, i have been working in non commercial theatre for about
five years now and we always use your mics and they have never let us
down, we have had talent drop your gen1 hand-held mics and been able
to just pick them up with out any noticeable damage. also i have seen
many belt pack mics come back covered in sweat, and i mean covered!
and still work perfectly after being wiped down. your company creates
products that are worth the higher price they have always been
reliable to me and all the other sound techs working at my school.

So thank you and i hope the quality of your products continue.

p.s under my recommendation my school is about to buy 4 G2 500 series
receivers and 2 500 series belt packs and 2 SKM 545 G2 hand-held mics"

i don't except anything from them, i really just wanted to tell them how good their products were

 

[Dustincoc]

Success, I got an Email from Soundcraft saying they'd see what they could "dust off and send out of the promo material bin."

I haven't got my free stuff from Apollo yet, but I did get three BMI shirts the other day.

Wireless without swag of any kind, that's not right.
Either the dealer swiped it or somebody messed up.

 

[icewolf08]

Guess I spoke too soon, my Apollo package came today.

 

[tomed101]

No That's normal for Shure wireless. I got a systrem recently and it didnt come with the stickers either.

It was just a couple replacement mics for our packs because every summer they load out our wireless system to a certain HS and every year it comes back broken. (Not that we ever use it anyway)

The came with Hard cases, the little velvet cases, and a bag of other stuff... But no stickers.

 

[JD]

Got my box form apollo today. Hey, they threw in some gum, Cool!

 

[Hughesie]

i wonder if i will get gum

 

[avkid]

What?
Plastic bag and cardboard box is the standard packaging.

 

[thebikingtechie]

Stupid shipping to canada, I still haven't gotten my Apollo kit yet, it's probably being held up at the border to make sure there's no weapons of mass destruction.

 

[Dustincoc]

Inside the cardbord box and plastic packaging there is(since they haven't been unpacked yet)a Hard Plastic storage case as well as the routine soft case. I don't think we special ordered the hard cases because the guy in charge of tech doesn't like them.

 

[Hughesie]

i got an email reply from sennheiser today

"
Dear Alex,

I will pass your e-mail on to our developers and product managers - they
will be happy to hear this!

With kind regards,
(name witheld)
