NAMM Announces New National Wanna Play Music Week Promo for Member Retailers: Consumer Credit Card from GE Money

The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) today announced that during the month of May NAMM Member retailers who are enrolled in the GE Money Music program can offer their customers a 12-month deferred interest promotion with a lower dealer rate in celebration of the association’s National Wanna Play Music Week.

The limited promotion is available to customers who purchase at least $499 in merchandise, and saves the NAMM Member retailer over 20 percent off of the standard 12 month deferred interest promotion.

The GE Money Music credit card, managed by GE Money’s Sales Finance unit, is a revolving program providing music enthusiasts with a flexible, convenient way to finance musical instruments and products with affordable monthly payments and competitive interest rates. GE Money provides billions of dollars of consumer financing through more than 145,000 small and medium businesses on Main Streets across the United States.

“This is a great way for retailers to incentivize and make it easy for their customers to purchase musical instruments and products—especially during National Wanna Play Music Week when NAMM is encouraging everyone to start playing an instrument and experiencing the fun and benefits of making music for a lifetime,” said Scott Robertson, director of marketing and communications at NAMM.

Retailers who would like to participate in this promotion must first enroll in the GE Money Music program by calling 1-866-209-4457. NAMM Member retailers who are already enrolled in the GE Money Music program can process these sales of $499 and up using their GE Money Music terminal or Business Center.
