Peripherals and Components Sales
The plethora of digital devices in the market today
enable people to get much more usage out of PCs. Our company not only
supplies legitimate brand peripheral equipment and components, but we also
are able to give sound advice, with foresight, as to which class of device
and model may suit the customer’s needs best. For example: Does one really
need a digital camera? If so, which one and with how much memory and of
which memory type? What about getting a printer that will match your
requirements by workload, quality of print, colour, expected service life
and cost of printing per page? Looking for a portable digital music player
extension for your handheld computer? We are able to give sound advice.
What about a need for a projector? Is it better to rent or buy? Sometimes
it is expedient to make the computer a centre of both home entertainment
and productivity (5.1 Channel Music, Video, FM, TV, CCTV, Games, Internet,
Desktop Publishing, Banking, Research, Business/Project Management, Access
your office computer from home and vicar versa, etc.), with us, all this is
possible and easy.
Pricing
Strategy
The price that a customer pays consists of a nominal markup on the
components plus a labour charge where necessary. The installation and
orientation service should be advertised to the customer and if successful,
will appear separately on the invoice.
A pick-up/delivery service is available at a nominal charge. This service
is not aimed at revenue generation, rather at extending interaction with
customers.
