New partner schemes from LG

LG Electronics has introduced new schemes for its channel partners on the
occasion of Diwali. The incentive scheme called 'Channel Handshake' is focused
at roping in new partners for desktops.

Dealers who buy minimum six desktops will get an LG external DVD writer with
LightScribe technology. The channel scheme for laptop is a promotional program
where dealers and distributors can win a foreign trip to Australia, South Africa
or Bangkok, depending upon the number of units they sell. Partners can mix
various models of laptops based on the different platforms-Celeron, dual core or
core2duo to participate in this program.

The company also announced the growth-based 'LG PC Reseller' scheme, which
concentrates on improving the business of existing partners. If a partner
achieves 25 percent of growth over his monthly average, he gets a DVD writer
with LightScribe technology. The only condition is that the reseller must sell
at least eight PCs. If the partner registers a 35 percent growth with a sale of
minimum 14 units, he gets a 17-inch Flatron CRT monitor. A 0.6 ton Window AC
will be gifted to the reseller who registers 45 percent growth with a minimum
sale of 20 units.
