06Honesty about condition

Buyers of laptops and desktops want to know whether an item is new or refurbished, what warranty you give and exactly what is in the box. Always state processor, memory and storage. Check serial numbers and test before delivery.

07UPS and accessories attach easily

Offices that order computers also need UPS units, surge protection, cables and storage. Offering them with the main item raises the order value and saves the buyer time.

08Stock by buyer

Offices want reliable business laptops and printers. Schools want volume and durability. Small shops want simple desktops and UPS units. Offer sensible standard configurations.

09Common IT mistakes

Not stating memory or storage, mixing new and refurbished without saying so, and leaving out the charger or accessories. Spell out everything.

10A typical scenario

A supplier lists three laptop specs with warranty details and sees steady office requests.
