Software Volume Discounts for Individuals and Small Businesses

March 31, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Software vendors are willing to give volume discount. Famous software vendors like Microsoft (Open License), Macromedia (EVLP) and Veritas (VIP program) have even software volume discount programs advertised on their website. Basically, these programs are based on giving points for a purchased product and afterward determining the discount based on the number of accumulated points. Usually these programs are not available to individuals or small business owners for various reasons. Moreover, the volume discount is applied only for one software vendor’s products. Even if they qualify for a particular software vendor’s volume discount program, individuals or small business owners won’t be rewarded when they’ll buy software from another vendor for which they cannot qualify for their volume discount program, if the other vendor has any.


On http://www.stufware.com, it is possible for individuals and small business owners to receive volume discounts on different software purchased over time. The program, like those enumerated above, is based on points received for purchased software. When a member accumulates enough points, he can exchange his points for a discount on a software. There is also a level system which determines the maximum discount a member can ask for a software and the amount of points receive for each purchased software. Each new level are obtained by the total number of points accumulated by a member. Contrary to most vendor’s software volume discount programs, there is no minimum amount of software a member must buy each year or during any given period of time to keep a particular level and his advantages. So, even an occasional software buyer might receive significant discounts over time. There are more than 7000 software from more than 2000 vendors available on the site with new one added regularly. This means that software buyers can receive discounts from a large number of different software sold by different vendors while having the same benefit as if they buy these software from the vendor directly.


In conclusion, software volume discounts should not be only available to big organization and big companies but also to individuals and small business owners who buy a significant amount of different software over time. This is the new idea promoted on http://www.stufware.com.
