I have located two dealers here in town that are interested in carrying
the Commodore line. Their interest seems to be genuine, but subdued.
One of the two had looked into Commodore dealership in the B.C. (before
Copperman) days, and is quite wary of the old practice of selling stuff
"like toys" through general merchandise retail and discount stores. The
other says that he has a relationship set up, but has never pursued
the marketing of Commodore products, because the payback potential paled
in comparison to his primary line (he is a very successful Apple dealer).
I have just started a consulting firm whose primary focus will be one-
stop system hardware and software requirement analysis, alternative
solutions research and presentation, purchase arrangements, and user
training. As an avid Amiga user, I would like to be able to offer
Amiga solutions to my customers. Since I am planning to avoid any
entangling marketing agreements which might restrict my ability to offer
each user as wide a variety of options as possible, the only way I can
see this happening is if we get one of these dealers more involved in
the Commodore dealership program.
What I need is:
A) Literature outlining all dealership options that Commodore is currently
offering, including any fees involved, stocking requirements, and territory
preservation information.
B) A complete price list at all dealership levels.
C) Information on the University Purchase Plan.
D) A regional marketing representative contact for central Missouri who
we can contact to arrange a demonstration of the capabilities of the
Amiga line.
Thanks in advance,
