School Partnerships Growth Eckroth already partners with Eastman Strings to support orchestra programs in Minnesota and North Dakota, presenting a clear opportunity to formalize school procurement and instrument repair services across the region and build recurring revenue through bundled district programs.

Employee Owned Advantage The employee owned model signals a commitment to service quality and long term relationships, which can be highlighted in bids to school systems and ensembles to justify higher service levels and maintenance contracts.

Bundled Offerings Propose bundled kits including instruments, accessories, method books, and repair plans to streamline district procurements and create predictable costs, with optional rental or maintenance contracts to grow recurring revenue.

Regional Growth With a base in Bismarck ND and a recent cross state partnership, Eckroth is well positioned to expand into neighboring Midwest districts by establishing regional service hubs or authorized dealer networks to accelerate sales.

Digital Marketing Leverage the existing tech stack including Facebook Pixel, Google Search Console and Podium to run targeted campaigns aimed at school procurement buyers, featuring success stories, service reliability, and total cost of ownership to shorten sales cycles.
