Hotlamps attends ISE 2010

Leading replacement lamp distributor aims to make more resellers aware of the tremendous benefits it offers at Europe’s premier audiovisual show.

Hotlamps, the leading distributor of replacement projector lamps to the trade and audiovisual resellers, will be looking to underline its strengths as a specialist replacement lamp distributor at ISE 2010, which takes place in Amsterdam 2 - 4 February 2010.

With the broadest range of replacement lamps it can offer, unrivalled stock availability, excellent online ordering facilities that make finding and procuring replacement lamps very easy and cost-efficient for resellers, and the ability to deliver next day to just about any location, Hotlamps offers a unique proposition to audiovisual and business-to-business resellers.

Hotlamps is a specialist operation of Maverick, the audiovisual business unit of leading IT products distributor, Tech Data.

Already established in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and Austria, Hotlamps operations will soon be opening Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, and there are plans to set up further operations in remaining Tech Data European territories before the end of Q1 2010.

At ISE 2010, it will also be encouraging potential new reseller partners – as well existing customers – to visit its stand and find out more about the unique range of services it can offer, says David Johnson, European Business Manager for Hotlamps.

“Hotlamps provides resellers with the best possible choice of replacement lamps and the best possible services on offer anywhere in the industry. We’ll be using ISE 2010 to make more resellers aware of the wide range of solutions and the unrivalled scope of the services that we can offer. As well as the widest possible choice, we provide exceptional stock availability, next-day delivery to any location in mainland Europe, efficient on-line order placement and tracking, and expert support and advice.”

Hotlamps also offers exceptional service and support, notes Johnson. “When it comes to lamps, Hotlamps are the experts and we are always ready to provide resellers with advice and technical assistance when they need it. When they need to order the right product and get it shipped out, they can use our highly efficient on-line system, which takes you through an easy, three-step process – chose a make, chose a model, and place your order. They can also track and manage orders over the web and we can also assure resellers that they will be offered competitive pricing and receive a very professional and courteous service at all times.

”Hotlamps can also provide pro-active sales and marketing support and will also be taking the opportunity to highlight the opportunities for resellers at ISE 2010, Johnson adds. “We believe that there is significant potential for resellers to expand their replacement lamp business – we can show them how to do that, offer them the broadest choice of products and all the sales and marketing support they need in order to maximise their potential sales. This is something we’ll be very keen to discuss with resellers at ISE 2010.”

Johnson says that current and potential reseller customers alike will be very welcome on the Hotlamps stand at ISE 2010. “This is the perfect opportunity to come and meet us face-to-face and find out exactly what we have to offer and how we match up to the competition. With the choice of products first-rate services that we can offer to resellers, there is certainly plenty to talk about with Hotlamps at ISE 2010.
