The Douglas Stewart Company is proud to announce today its expansion into the Apple Specialist reseller market. The distributor kicked off its new partnership by exhibiting at the third annual Apple Specialist Conference (May 8 -May 12) held in Minneapolis.
With over 60 years of experience of specialized distribution, the company will provide Apple specialists access to its extensive product portfolio featuring exclusive brands such as Lock 'n' Charge, WeSC, Vogel's, SMS Audio and many more.
"The Apple Specialist market is a natural fit for us," commented Chris McLean, Director of Sales at The Douglas Stewart Company. "Our track record in education demonstrates our success serving independent and small college stores, some of which are also Apple-authorized. We are confident that our expertise, product selection, and exclusive vendor relationships will be very valuable to the Apple Specialist market."
To support Apple Specialist resellers, the company recently added a dedicated account manager, Scott Markham, to its sales staff. "The Douglas Stewart Company is helping organizations build customer-focused solutions and marketing skills. By helping our partners better understand new market opportunities and gain sales expertise in new areas, we enable them to hit their business development goals and stay on top of new technology trends," said Markham.
Mr. Markham brings over 15 years of experience from top technology companies like Macromedia and Mindjet, and a leading global IT products and services provider, SHI. Markham will proactively work on developing strategic relationships with Apple resellers across North America. His approach will combine his insight with creative problem-solving skills to increase his client's business goals.
