Alcatel Extends Online Offering With New Amazon Australia Shopfront
Alcatel Mobile has today announced the launch of its official virtual shopfront on Amazon.com.au, providing Australian consumers a new avenue through which to easily access the Alcatel range of affordable smartphones online. Included on the Australian virtual shopfront is the Alcatel 3 which is not available elsewhere, and complements the Alcatel 1S and Alcatel 1X. This adds to Alcatel’s existing retail range, which also includes the Alcatel 3X launched recently with JB HiFi.
Today’s launch comes at a time when Australians have had to significantly alter their daily lives, including their consumption habits, and may include them considering the purchase of a new, affordable smartphone online for the first time.
The Alcatel 1S, 1X and 3, all sub-$200, once again reinforces Alcatel’s commitment to delivering affordable, well-designed and feature-rich products that won’t break the bank as Australian consumers become evermore brand and price conscious.
Sam Skontos, Regional Managing Director for Alcatel Mobile:
“Affordable technology is arguably more important now than ever before, as we are all watching our dollars and needing them to stretch as far as possible. Today’s announcement of an official local shopfront on Amazon Australia ensures we give consumers the choice of some fantastic sub-$200 options as they consider an online purchase, perhaps for the first time.”
“I have spoken for a long time about the importance of investing in brands that in-turn invest locally in staff, customer support and community activity, and consumers can have peace of mind that they will be well supported. Alcatel is a brand they can trust, that I have personally led in Australia for over a decade now.”
“It is equally important that I reinforce the importance of purchasing through an official, Australian site, be it Alcatel or any other brand in the technology space. This is always important as it is in everyone’s interests to ensure only products that meet Australia’s stringent local safety standards make it into Australia. But it is even more important now as we seek to support Australian companies and jobs.”
