We're working to grow our customer base in the RTO marketplace. By adding HE and digital lifestyle items to the list of IT products that were already part of the incentive program, we're extending its usefulness to a whole new community.

"Some of the manufacturers being added to the program are Samsung, JVC, Philips, Logitech, SanDisk, Russound, Canon cameras, Microsoft Xbox, Belkin, and TomTom"

D&H Distributing, the major North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor and supplier to the rent-to-own channel, is expanding its highly-regarded "D&H Incentives" customer rewards program, adding a line-up of digital home and consumer electronics products to the list of merchandise that qualifies for program points. Beginning in September, more than 1,000 additional products from A/V speakers to cameras to LCD displays will qualify customers to earn D&H Incentive points. This enhances the program's benefits for Rent to Own (RTO) dealers and store-owners, allowing them to garner points in a greater range of product categories, including for many popular-selling entertainment devices from trusted brands.

Some of the manufacturers being added to the program are Samsung, JVC, Philips, Logitech, SanDisk, Russound, Canon cameras, Microsoft Xbox, Belkin, and TomTom. Twenty-nine different manufacturers in all now participate, encompassing the IT and CE/HE arenas. RTO customers can earn points through purchases in any or all of these categories.*

The D&H Incentives program lets rent-to-own dealers accumulate points when they buy designated merchandise from dozens of D&H vendors. One point is earned for every $10 of qualified purchases. Points are tallied nightly in the customer's virtual Incentives "wallet," and can be redeemed through the Incentives online shopping mall at any time for merchandise or gift certificates from L.L. Bean, Bass Pro Shops, DEWALT, General Electric, NFL, Northwest Airlines, NASCAR, David Yurman, Bloomingdales, Fisher-Price and others.

The Incentives program has gained acclaim for its ability to compensate any size buyer, not just big-volume purchasers. Since many of D&H's customers are smaller-scale dealers and stores, the distributor crafted a rewards plan without any "plateaus" or minimum purchases. Customers receive points based on a flat percentage of what they order, no matter how little or how much their respective total spending may be. "Costs" for items in the online shopping mall start at as little as 125 Incentive points.

"D&H did-away with the conventions of the average rewards plan, since a volume-based program just didn't fit the purchasing patterns of enough of our customers. The plan is designed to be inclusive, not exclusive," said John Alifano, manager of the Home Entertainment Division at D&H Distributing. "We're working to grow our customer base in the RTO marketplace. By adding HE and digital lifestyle items to the list of IT products that were already part of the program, we're extending its usefulness to a whole new community."
