Steljes announces new pricing to help drive channel sales in new markets
The new pricing policy is aimed at helping channel partners to aggressively develop and drive sales into these markets, specifically the corporate sector, as well as healthcare, the public sector and more niche markets like the military and emergency services. The new pricing structure will begin with immediate effect and covers all products within the SMART range, including SMART Board™ interactive whiteboards, Sympodium™, and Bridgit™ data conferencing software.
“We are seeing a real increase in demand for collaborative displays and technologies within market sectors such as the corporate market – driven by the need to look for alternatives to travel for meetings and reduce their carbon footprint,” explains Mark Bird, Group Sales and Business Development Director for Steljes.
“This is being reflected in emerging markets like healthcare, public sector, the emergency services and defence, where they are starting to recognise the benefits of effective collaborative working, like time and cost savings and increased productivity. In fact, demand has never been greater – last quarter was our most successful quarter ever for sales in non-education markets, so this is a real opportunity for our channel partners to drive sales of SMART products”.
Over the course of this year, Steljes, the exclusive distributor for SMART Technologies in the UK, will also be introducing a series of new SMART products aimed specifically at non-education markets.
