But why do trade ins of phones, tablets, laptops and wearables increase at this time of year?
- Trading Up – people want the latest tech so trade in their old devices as part of the process, reducing the total cost of the trade up. People these days expect to part ex their tech, just as you would with a car.
- Cashing In – times are tight and Christmas isn’t cheap. People will trade in and trade down so they can afford the Christmas essentials.
- Trading In – if you’re lucky enough to get new tech for Christmas you’ll probably be trading in your old devices to generate extra cash. No point in putting your old phone, tablet, laptop or wearable in a drawer!
- Retail Offers – with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and January sales all taking place in the next 6-8 weeks, people are being bombarded with tech offers. And some are just too good to be true!
At TMT First, whether you are a retailer, reseller, distributor, operator or vendor we’re here to support your trade in programmes. As one of the UK’s leading service centres, we partner directly with Apple, Microsoft and Samsung amongst others to provide a range of solutions.
- Buyback – our dynamic pricing ensures you’ll maximise the value for any devices traded into your organisation. Working and non-working, we’ll give you a competitive price.
- Grading & Assessment – we can grade your traded in devices, our 52-point phone checking making sure of condition and therefore what it’s worth. Our systems and technicians are second to none.
- Upcycling – at TMT First we offer repairs, screen polishing, screen burn reduction, software reset, certified device wiping and more. Our partners can maximise the value of traded devices with a little bit of investment. Remember, at TMT First it’s all about ‘keeping technology alive for longer’.
- Disposal – our mission is ‘keeping technology alive for longer’ but when we can’t, the next best thing is to dispose of tech in the most environmentally friendly way possible. We have a device shredder to ensure data integrity, precious metals recycling and a zero-landfill policy.
