Ricoh, setting the benchmark
in business print...
Ricoh is the UK market leader in business print.
From the desktop to the printroom, businesses
depend on Ricoh devices for reliable, cost-effective,
high quality printed output. One in four copiers
sold in the UK is a Ricoh device; we are recognised
as a leader in Managed Document Services; and
have rapidly established ourselves as a major
player in production print.
And we don’t intend to stop there. With your help,
Ricoh aims to become the leader in desktop printing,
too. We’ve already made an impressive start, increasing
unit sales of desktop printers and MFPs by 68% in
2011-12. This year, we are hoping to grow sales by a
further 60% and to that end plan to double the number
of Ricoh channel partners from 600 to 1,200.
This ambitious recruitment programme is a win:win
for Ricoh and the reseller community. It will enable us
to reach more small and medium-sized businesses and
gives you a not-to-be-missed opportunity to partner
with a renowned business brand.
With three types of partnership to choose from –
Approved, Preferred and Solutions – there is a level of
engagement to suit everyone. All Ricoh resellers can
look forward to generous margins and access to a
comprehensive product line-up, with a choice of printing
technologies (laser and Geljet) and pricing models to
meet any customer requirement.
Preferred Partners benefit from preferential pricing
and extensive marketing collateral and support; while
Solutions Partners have access to an expanded range of
solutions, including Ricoh copiers and the Ricoh Click
MPS proposition supported by 1,000 Ricoh technicians
throughout the UK.
The strength of our printer range is just one reason to
become a Ricoh partner. In the last 12 months, we have
entered a number of new product areas, giving resellers
even more opportunity to increase sales and win new
customers. We already offer a diverse product range,
from printers and scanners to projectors and video-
conferencing units, and over the next two years plan to
enter other new categories.
These are exciting times for Ricoh and our channel
partners. Working together we can all look forward to
many more years of sustainable business growth.
