Our resellers are professionals, they have a passion for IT and have knowledge of IT products. We believe especially they deserve focus and personal attention. By bundling forces, the IT professional can offer good deals and we give them a strong position to compete with the large retail concerns.

What does ITPRODEALS mean for you as a supplier?

This means more exposure of your brand. Your brand is visible all over the Netherlands, both at the end users home as well as at the stores of the IT professional! We contractually agreed with our resellers that your products will be presented properly*. With ITPRODEALS you will communicate directly with the end user.* If POS material available ALSO will submit this.

Your products in ITPRODEALS? That’s possible!

Together with us you will decide how many and which products you would like to expose

in ITPRODEALS. Per position you can choose to show one large image or multiple smaller

ones (with a maximum of 3 products per position). You yourself are responsible for price

stability of your ITPRODEALS products.

Contribution per position: €750,-. ** This contribution is additional to the standard marketing & communication quarteragreements with ALSO towards the reseller
