Swains International is offering retailers the latest HP Photosmart digital camera, the R817, for the first time and at a special introductory N.A.S price of £102.12 when buying three. And when buying 12, retailers can take advantage of an extra month's credit.
The HP R817 is a 5.1 MP camera has a powerful Pentax 5x optical lens, giving 70 per cent more zoom than a 3x lens, and 8x digital zoom. The video capture and audio facility, in-camera panoramic stitching, and HP real-life technologies of the R817 mean that photographers can be more creative than ever. Voted What Digital Camera's camera of choice, the R817 will be popular with consumers anyway, but with a special retail price of just £149.99, instead of £229.99, Swains retailers can be sure they are offering their customers a competitive deal.
Danny Williams, marketing director at Swains, comments: " Our deal on the HP R817 will only last as long as stocks do, and we expect there to be a good uptake, especially with the offer of 12 extra months credit. The R817 has received a stamp of approval from consumer magazine What Digital Camera, so comes highly recommended to consumers already. Features that will make the model popular are the Pentax 5x optical lens, giving 70 per cent more zoom than a 3x lens. The camera also features the latest HP Real Life technologies including video prints, and in-camera panoramic stitching for wide-angle prints. Offering such an up-to-date camera for under £150 to customers will show that the independent retailer can provide just as good deals as the high street, and by providing 12 months credit to spread the cost of the six cameras, retailers should not be out of pocket to be able to offer great deals."
