Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Dell has boosted its retail presence as a precursor to trying to expand its marketshare in the Australian market with a newly formed partnership agreement with the Dick Smith chain of stores across Australia and New Zealand.
Under the agreement, to take effect from next
Wednesday, 6 May, more than 400 Dick Smith stores in 70 of the group’s
largest retail outlets in Australia and New Zealand will be able to
choose from a range of Dell products including different configurations
of Dell’s Inspiron 15 and Studio 15 laptops and one configuration of
its Studio One 19 all-in-one desktop computer.
Evan Williams, general manager, consumer sales and marketing at Dell
Australia, says that over the past 12 months, the company has made many
enhancements to its local consumer business, including investing in its
online capability so customers can “personalise their laptops with
their favourite colours and designs.”
Williams says Dell has also built strong partnerships in retail and launching an “award-winning” range of products in Australia.
According to Williams, over the next several months in Australia, Dell
will add more personalisation options, launch more products and expand
its retail presence through the new partnership with Dick Smith.
Dell started its Australian retail program in May 2008 when it agreed
to sell a range of products in Officeworks’ stores across Australia,
and in n December last year, there was a further boost to its retail
presence when The Good Guys agreed to sell its products.
Glenn O’Neill, head of buying and merchandising at Dick Smith, says the
company is committed to providing its customers with the latest
technology and leading brands in all categories.
Evan Williams says Dell will continue to operate its kiosks located in
shopping malls in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia,
Victoria, and Western Australia.
