What is required of prospective resellers?
We require all our resellers to purchase an evaluation unit through
the website in order to become more familiar with our offering and be
in a better position to market the E2. After that, the minimum
wholesale order is 10 units at a time. The price difference for the
evaluation order (or for additional samples) will be returned to you
when you place your first wholesale order.
What is the process of becoming a reseller?
We'd like to get a sense of how you plan to position the E2 and in
which regions. Also, what paths to market do you plan to take —
retail, web, tradeshows, etc. Above all, we'd like to know what other
hardware or technology products you've marketed before, and how the
E2 complements that experience or your existing product portfolio.
How will you benefit from being an accredited reseller?
We will provide tremendous technical and marketing support to your
sales efforts. We're happy to attend conference calls with your
clients, and lend credibility to your relationship with us, and, for
large opportunities, we're happy to fly out and help lead
presentations. We can produce co-branded datasheets and other
marketing materials and, for large orders, can produce co-branded
packaging. Of course, we're happy to work in an anonymous capacity as
well, answering technical pre-sales questions that you feed back to
us, or handling support issues on your behalf.
Lastly, we will drive business your way by listing you on our website
and by pushing opportunities we come across in your market to you. We
always aim to have business handled through our channel partners, as
our customers, particularly in developing economies, value that local
presence and relationship.
Who provides technical support and warranty fulfillment?
Aleutia will always shoulder the cost of the E2's 3 Year Warranty. We
like to treat the E2 as a hot-swap component — if a unit fails, a
reseller can immediately provide a customer with a new one. The
customer has only to slot the CF card in and they can continue
working. Thus, we encourage resellers to keep extra stock on hand to
ensure immediate fulfillment. Failed units are sent back to London
and free replacements (new not refurbished) are provided upon their
receipt. We provide unlimited technical support by email. Phone
support must be handled by the reseller, unless negotiated otherwise.
Feel free to approach us with any other questions at
reseller@aleutia.com. We look forward
to hearing from you.
