Everyone wants great tech at great prices. For tech lovers, one of the best parts of the hobby is window-shopping: comparing products, features, specs, and of course, prices. And with much research comes the inevitable question: why do some retailers offer a lower sticker price on the same products – what’s the catch? And are there benefits to going with authorised retailers when you can find a lower price elsewhere?
Why choose authorised retailers?
A perfect example of the power of authorised retailers is Mobile in Africa, the official distributor of Xiaomi technology in South Africa. MIA brings Xiaomi direct to the public online, as well as working with authorised retailers throughout the country. Xiaomi is a much-loved brand, as the fourth-largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, “Our mission is to make sure the powerfully positive associations consumers have with Xiaomi are reflected in every interaction, from purchase to set-up and after-sales care.” says Mark Goott CEO of MIA.
But not all technology retailers are actually authorised to sell the products on their shelves – and this is where “the catch” comes in, MIA as the authorised dealer of Xiaomi tech in South Africa will not honour any guarantees on Xiaomi products if they did not come through the reputable distribution channels.
