January 2009: Michigan's Unemployment rate goes over 10%
then later, unemployment jumps to over 14%
February 2013: "official" unemployment rate still close to 9%.
unofficially, unemployment is still about 16% or higher.
Over the last four years, many pensions, 401k's, and IRA's have taken a huge hit. And our local housing market is still way down from previous levels.
Mike understands the strain put on those paying for weddings and other important events and is trying help. That's why he started giving this discount in late 2008 and continues to give it today.
The Big Temporary $225 Discount is to lower his DJ Service price all the way down to $750 on fridays and saturdays in Metro Detroit. That's taking off almost 25% from his former rate.
This discount automatically applies to everyone, nobody has to ask for it. Discount has already been subrtacted from his posted Wedding DJ prices and on his DJ Prices rates page. It will stay in effect till local economy improves significantly.
When Michigan's economy is better, his friday and saturday rates will return to his former rate of $975 for future bookings. Those who already have a contract with Mike keep their rate. That means if you book him now for $750, your price stays at that – it never increases. Others will pay more but you won't.
Weddings and Special Events Not In Metro Detroit
Areas outside of Metro Detroit usually cost more than $750 due to additional cost of gas. Additional cost depends on price of gas and travel distance round-trip.
Mike's Professional DJ Service is based in Metro Detroit, Michigan USA. He has Over 25 Years Wedding DJ Experience and 30 years experience total as a Mobile DJ in MI.
