Eco Wind Chimes, a subsidiary of Just One Moon, the leading provider of fair-trade and environmentally responsible international products, has announced their tuned wind chime collection will undergo a marginal price increase on Friday, June 22, 2012, due to growing material costs sourced from the aluminum industry.
Five year market index reports indicate U.S. dollars per metric ton reached a low in February 2009, at $1.27K with May 2012, prices reaching $2.05K per metric ton. "American made products are feeling the effects of price fluctuations in the metals industry," said Stephen Betzen, owner of Just One Moon and Eco Wind Chimes. "Economic influences such as higher fuel costs trickle down affecting materials, parts, transportation, and labor so even the suppliers begin to feel the burden. As a result, retail prices must also account for these influences."
Eco Wind chimes continues to offer a diverse selection of domestic instruments sourced from sustainable materials. Consumers can choose from products by Grace Notes, and Music of the Sphere up to 84 inches tall. In an effort to buffer the increased prices while continuing to offer US made products owner Betzen is extending a 15 percent discount on total purchased price valid through Friday, August 31, 2012. The discount code can be applied to purchases at time of check-out via the Eco Wind Chime e-commerce storefront.
In business since 2006, Betzen said, "Sustainable products, fair trade methods, and keeping jobs from transitioning oversees is at the core of the Just One Moon philosophy."
