FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Iomega Announces On-line Buying For
Resellers Partners
ROY, Utah,
November 27, 2000 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM),
a global leader in data management solutions, today
announced that select Reseller Partners can now buy
Iomega products direct from Iomega.
This new business-to-business initiative
comes just five months after the initial launch of the
reseller page in June of 2000. Originally designed as
an information resource for Iomega Reseller Partners,
the site continues to evolve and currently offers sales
promotion offers, product information, trade shows and
event schedules, marketing resource information, and
Iomega University. Iomega University provides self-paced
product training to Reseller Partners, encouraging them
to learn more about Iomega products and offering incentives
such as free products when quizzes are complete.
The site gives more flexibility to
Iomega Reseller Partners by adding the option to purchase
via the Reseller Partner link at www.iomega.com. Resellers
are able to buy direct with credit card orders. After
January 2001 the site will allow for credit applications
and purchase orders.
"The new addition is another
step in Iomega's ongoing commitment to provide continued
flexibility to our reseller partners," said Bruce
Albertson, president and CEO, Iomega Corporation. "It's
about options and choices. We're giving our partners
an easier way to do business with Iomega, whether they
choose to buy through the standard distribution or direct
via www.iomega.com, the choice is up to them."
The site is now open to many International
Iomega Reseller Partners and is expected in multiple
languages by Q1 2001.
