Vonage inks deal with major tech wholesaler
Vonage and independent retailer consumer electronics distributor DBL Distributing have inked a pact that will enable all of Vonage’s enabled devices to be sold at DBL’s more than 32,000 retail account locations throughout the U.S.
TWICE (This Week In Consumer Electronics) reports that beginning immediately, wholesaler DBL will market the Vonage-enabled VoIP products and accessories, as well as provideprovide retailers with a “dealer quick-start marketing kit” that includes merchandising signage, training materials and point-of-sale displays intended to help retailers begin to market their new Vonage products.
The new Vonage-enabled products are already included in featured in the distributor’s recently released Summer/Fall 2007 catalog.
Sorry, can’t build a link to the catalog. As a wholesaler selling only to retail and not directly to consumers, most of DBL Distributing’s website is password-protected.
