What: Introduction of a new ProCurve promotion, which enables customers to trade in their current Cisco products for any ProCurve product and receive significant rewards.
When: Between September 1st until December 31st, 2007.
The "Switch from Cisco" promotion
ProCurve is raising the stakes this Autumn by offering double the rebates usually offered to resellers' customers for trading in their old Cisco switches for ProCurve products. For example, if customers buy a ProCurve Switch 2810-24G when trading in a Cisco Catalyst 2960-24TT-L Switch they receive up to a €288 rebate - twice the usual amount.
If resellers sell more than 500 ports to one customer within the programme, they will receive a free HP IPAQ Voice Messenger. If they sell more than 500 ports to a second customer, they will get another free iPAQ. The more business resellers do, the more iPAQs they will get. There is no limit.
How resellers' customers can take advantage of the "Switch from Cisco" promotion
- Resellers direct their customers to select the new ProCurve products required at www.hp.com/eur/ProCurveTradeIn
- Their customers enter the Cisco products they are trading in (including the number of ports). They then receive an immediate rebate offer corresponding to their trade-in option
- Resellers should remind their customers to enter the requested information about them in order for them to receive their iPAQ
- Once customers accept this offer, ProCurve's free pick-up service will make arrangements to pick up the old products. They will receive payment of their rebate within 20 days
