Santa Claus Inc. Selects Alto Music for Tri-State Musical Instrument Deliveries

Strategic holiday agreement pairs the world’s most ambitious overnight operation with a local specialist in getting serious gear to musicians—fast.

A new holiday arrangement

Just Like Santa, Alto Delivers.

Full-size instruments. Local delivery. A little less weight on the sleigh.

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. & NORTH POLE — Santa Claus Inc. (fictional NASDAQ: SNTA) today announced a strategic agreement with Alto Music to handle music-related gift deliveries throughout eligible portions of the Tri-State area this holiday season. The agreement follows an extensive review of regional delivery capabilities, rising sleigh fuel costs and the increasingly ambitious dimensions of musicians’ wish lists.

Under the arrangement, Alto Music will bring its local delivery expertise to the transportation of full-size digital pianos, drum kits, amplifiers and this year’s inexplicable tuba craze. Santa Claus Inc. expects the initiative to improve regional routing efficiency while preserving valuable sleigh capacity for the rest of the world.

“We conducted exhaustive industry research, and the conclusion was clear: no one does same-day delivery like Alto,” said Fred Klaus, Chief Executive Officer of Santa Claus Inc. “They understand the territory, they understand the gear, and they understand that when someone asks for a full-size digital piano, a gift card and an apology are not an acceptable substitute.”

A sound investment in local delivery

The companies cited Alto’s experience handling musical instruments as a key factor in the agreement. Instruments that require careful loading, practical vehicle space and a working knowledge of the difference between an amplifier cabinet and a small refrigerator were given particular consideration.

“Carrot inflation is out of control,” said Blitzen, reindeer and unofficial fleet spokesperson for Santa Claus Inc. “You try hauling a 180-pound digital piano and a 165-pound Ampeg 8x10 on the same carrot budget as last year. Then somebody adds a tuba. Give Alto the keys. I’m going to lunch.”

“This is a natural partnership,” said Anthony Thompson, Alto Music’s Chief Director of Italian Culinary Oversight. “Santa knows Christmas. We know musical instruments. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from overseeing Italian culinary operations, it’s that you never let the main course arrive late. Especially when the main course is an Ampeg 8x10.”

  • “It’s an honor to have an enterprise like Santa, which essentially makes billions of same-day deliveries around the globe in a single day, recognize our own fast, same-day delivery prowess. As we say: game recognize game”

The holiday campaign puts a familiar seasonal face alongside Alto’s local delivery operation, with a straightforward message for musicians and gift-givers: let us do the heavy lifting.

Santa Claus Inc. said the agreement will allow its North Pole team to concentrate on global holiday logistics, list management and a continuing internal investigation into why so many people suddenly want tubas. Financial terms were not disclosed. Neither company offered guidance on future carrot prices.
