Rent-to-own News - D&H offers exclusive JVC displays through AmTran

August 15, 2011

Computer and consumer electronics distributor D&H Distributing would like to invite RTO store owners and dealers to visit booth #304 at the TRIB Show in Las Vegas August 29 to 31.

 

Just in time for the show, the distributor is proud to announce it has signed with AmTRAN Video Corporation™ as the exclusive distributor of this vendor’s new BlackCrystal series of JVC HDTVs.

 

The series, which had a US pre-launch in early July, boasts HDTV quality plus exceptional sound capabilities.  The BlackCrystal models include LCD and E-LED panels in dimensions of 32, 37, 42 and 47 inches.  AmTRAN Video Corporation plans to introduce additional models to the US market under the JVC brand later this year, including larger-screen displays with Internet-connected and 3D HDTV capabilities.

 

“We’re excited to be the distributor to help introduce these new JVC models to the RTO marketplace,” said John Alifano, director of D&H’s Consumer Products Division.  “AmTRAN Video Corporation has a terrific reputation for innovative designs in the flat panel arena.  These models represent a high-quality, competitively-priced option in the field of HDTVs.”

RTO store owners and dealers can ask for D&H RTO Market Specialist Mike Dour at the upcoming TRIB Show.

Multi-divisional inventory:  D&H offers a wide range of consumer products, including large screen plasma and LCD TVs and home theater systems, gaming systems, computer products, plus small appliances and housewares from more than 450 vendor partners.

Dedicated customer representatives: The distributor assigns each customer a dedicated account representative to service that dealer’s business on a long-term basis.  D&H is renowned for its personalized service, so calls are never routed to a "pool" of salespeople.

 

Efficient shipping:  D&H provides one- to two-day parcel shipping to most of the US through its four fully-stocked US warehouse locations, plus drop-ship and custom shipping capabilities.

Favorable credit terms:  The distributor offers versatile financing programs, including flexible flooring options and inventory financing. 


New account rewards:  New customers who place an order of $1,000 or more are eligible to receive a $100 American Express gift card (applicants must meet terms of eligibility). 


RTO dealers and store owners can visit www.dandh.com for free account set-up.


As the nation’s leading technology distributor, D&H provides a wealth of resources to empower the RTO dealer and store owner, delivering a broad selection of categories, products and applications. 


With an impressive 93-year history, the company prides itself on creating business partnerships with an astute focus on ease-of-doing-business, relationships, value, performance and service.  D&H ships out of five separate locations in North America, including its US headquarters in Harrisburg and its Canadian headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario.  Additional US warehouses are in Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; and Fresno, CA.

by Bill Keese
