AVENIR AND 02 LAUNCH 'ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS...'
Major three-month sales incentive to reward and stimulate Q4 channel sales
Avenir Telecom, the UK's leading business-to-business telecoms distributor, today announces a major sales incentive promotion in conjunction with O2. Channel sales of various products and services – including mobile accessories and mobile broadband – will be rewarded with points which can be redeemed against an enviable 'Christmas Wish List' of prizes.
From 01 September until 30 November 2009, Avenir's entire base of O2 dealers can collect reward points - on top of standard commissions - for all new business voice, BlackBerry (BIS & BES), bolt-on, mobile landline and mobile broadband connections. Points are also available on all accessory purchases, and those dealers with the most points at the end of the incentive will be able to redeem their points against a complete 'Christmas Wish List' of prizes, which include such items as cases of wine, luxury Christmas hampers, a driving experience day, with the top prizes being a hotel break or a 50 inch 1080p HD TV.
A grand finale will take place in December when Avenir's top-performing O2 dealers will be treated to an 'eat, drink and be merry' celebration. Special launch packs will be distributed this week with more information.
As Avenir Telecom's MD Andy Tow comments: “Avenir is well known for providing its dealers with sales incentive programmes that are as exciting as they are profitable. We are very pleased to be partnering, once again, with O2 in order to offer this fantastic incentive. The run up to quarter four is such an important time for us all and we're sure this collaboration will drive some fantastic connections, not only on our standard airtime business but also in mobile broadband and O2's brand new mobile landline offering'.
