Toshiba rewards resellers with cash incentives

"We have launched this programme as a token of our appreciation and gratitude for all the hard work that resellers invest in promoting the brand's wide range of notebook computers," says Willie van Niekerk, Toshiba's distribution and channel manager for South Africa. "The Rewards programme has proved popular and successful in other countries where it has been introduced and we are excited to be able to offer it now to the South African market."

Resellers earn points for each device sold, with points being directly converted into cash. Points are equivalent to Rands and the rewards are credited to a debit card at the end of each month, available in the account within 10 days of that date.

"One of the most appealing things about this programme is that it is very easy to use and members can track their rewards in real time on the Rewards website. Those interested in participating need to register on the site to create a profile and they need to log each sale online, within two weeks of the deal being concluded. Rewards are paid into their own account at the end of each month and they are able to spend them at any outlet worldwide that accepts Visa debit cards."

Rewards vary anywhere from R40 and R250 per machine sold, depending on the model number. The company will communicate any special offers or incentives via the Rewards website, which will include a detailed list of devices that are included in the programme.
