Pre-season is always a challenging time when customers are scarce on the ground and sales aren’t as frequent as you would like. However, it’s always the perfect time to put your plans in place for the forth coming season and to double down on the strategy that will differentiate you from your competition.

  • What type of customer are you trying to attract?
  • Does your product profile meet their needs?
  • Do your staff understand the performance of the products that you already profile?
  • Do you need anything else?

More than often the answers to these questions can be done in the quiet of your own demo room. When was the last time that you listened to the cables you are offering your customers?

When did you last listen from your minimum standard right up to the best you offer. It continuously surprises me (and it shouldn’t) how much improvement can be heard by listening from Element to Asimi in any category; RCA Analogue Interconnects, Streaming Cables, XLR’s, USB’s, Speaker Cable …. Power.

You have some amazing tools at your disposal that when demonstrated to your customers will re-enthuse and reignite their passion for what you sell – great music!

As well as maximising the Audio performance of their systems, it also promotes your support for your customers investment.

Hungary
Great opening event with our New Hungarian partner, Art of Sound. 15 of their best dealers and Integrators attended the introduction of Atlas Cables. Gergo and Artem did a fantastic job in organising the event and presenting the range of Atlas Cables that will complement their other brands.
 
China

Kevin and Martin spent a fantastic couple of days with our Chinese Distributor, Dynaudio. Delighted to finally meet the Team, who have been promoting and selling Atlas over the last couple of years, despite the many obstacles that the pandemic has thrown at them. They have created a very strong and focused network of resellers, couple of examples of their stores attached, who are presenting Atlas cables to their customers. 
 
Munich
This year’s exhibition was much busier than the previous years, the substantial increase of trade visitors to the show was clear, as was the positive atmosphere among both exhibitors and attendees. Our stand was very busy for the duration of the show, the new products we previewed received glowing approval from existing distributors as well as new customers that visited the stand. The feedback from most markets we spoke to, was business was tough but that customers were returning to stores, looking for inspiration for ways of improving and maximising the performance of their systems. The requirement to be visible online to the customers was raised several times, w
