Acer becomes a VIP partner

Distributor to supply its VARs with Travelmate notebooks

Distributor VIP Computers has signed a partnership agreement with Acer to supply the vendor’s Travelmate notebooks to its UK reseller base.

The deal will see VIP offer the notebooks for £399 to its reseller partners, which it has claimed will give them a competitive edge over rivals.

Sally Carron, marketing manager at VIP, said: “We are now an official partner for Acer notebooks. This means that our resellers can compete with High Street prices and offer real value for money to their customers.”

Carron added that the offer was limited to 20 notebooks per reseller and applied only “while stocks last”.

Semmy Levit, UK country manager at Acer, said: “As a distributor VIP adds value because it sells to markets that we currently do not reach with our standard distribution channel. We are feeling very confident about this partnership.”
