ACT joins PartneRewards, the channel`s top loyalty programme

Johannesburg, 08 Oct 2003

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Tarsus Technologies has raised the bar with the enhancements to its award-winning PartneRewards loyalty programme, comes news of the inclusion of another distributor to the programme.

"I am pleased to announce that Advanced Consumables Technology (ACT), one of SA`s leading consumables distributors, has joined Tarsus as the second member of the highly acclaimed PartneRewards loyalty programme," says Tarsus MD, Guy Whitcroft. "Resellers purchasing from ACT will now be rewarded PartneRewards points that will be tallied together with those purchases from Tarsus to achieve even greater returns."

Resellers can redeem their PartneRewards points for travel-related rewards, as well as an exciting range of Samsung consumer products.

"ACT has been investigating various loyalty programmes since its inception 18 months ago," says Anton Herbst, MD of ACT. "We found the perfect programme in PartneRewards. It not only provides us with a vehicle to reward those loyal customers that have been instrumental in our success, but it also enhances our position in the market as a true value-add distributor of IT consumables. For PartneRewards members, this means they can now leverage both hardware and consumables purchases on a single platform."

ACT operates from a head office in Midrand (Gauteng) and from branches in Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit and Port Elizabeth. Its goal is to deliver world-class products and services to a national network of business partners and resellers who address the market for IT consumables in SA and neighbouring states in the SADC region.

ACT`s business units include a print and reproduction division serving a market in SA worth an estimated R1.3 billion per annum. It also has a data storage unit focusing on consumables and media that address data storage and risk management, a market estimated at R300 million per annum. Additionally, its output media business unit offers a range of products, including large format media, speciality papers and PVCs.
