King's Great Buys Plus Activates First Customer Under New Nationwide Marketing Group-AT&T Partnership
The Evansville, Ind., store was the first in the nation to enroll in the exclusive Nationwide Marketing Group program
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot off its last PrimeTime show, where more than 15% of attending members signed up to become independent AT&T retailers, Nationwide Marketing Group has activated its first mobile phone customer.
King's Great Buys Plus in Evansville, Ind., signed up the customer, who purchased a Samsung Galaxy S10. King's Great Buys Plus was one of the first Nationwide members to commit to the exclusive AT&T program when it was first announced in February.
"We are excited to be the first member in the country to enroll a customer in this one-of-a-kind program," said Terry Oates, CEO of King's Great Buys Plus. "Being able to offer cell phones and wireless service is the first step in creating a true connected home experience for our customers. And the support we've received along the way is second to none. We couldn't be happier."
Not only does the program allow Nationwide members to sell home internet, DIRECTV, and cellular phone service and devices, but it also provides a better – and faster – enrollment experience.
The program is supported by an exclusive partnership with DSI Systems, which has developed an order entry system that allows members to sign a customer up in only eight minutes. Plus, there is no inventory stocking requirement, and Nationwide members have access to a dedicated customer support line to assist with billing and enrollment questions.
"Whether you sell appliances, electronics, furniture or bedding, this program – available only to members of Nationwide Marketing Group – is a great add-on for your store," said Tom Hickman, Nationwide's president and chief member advocate. "Not only does it help support the growing trend of a connected home, but the shorter lifecycle common with today's cell phones will encourage additional store traffic and frequency of shop. And the exclusive promotions available only to Nationwide's independent retailers provide a clear competitive advantage over the national chains."
