From coast to coast, distributor members will host an abundance of trainings and events for dealers and offers major financial rewards on A2V products purchases.

Pittsburgh, PA – April 25, 2018 – The 12 PowerHouse Alliance distributor members announce an exciting May schedule for dealers and integrators across the country offering over 30 education sessions and celebrating the grand opening of a new location. In addition to exciting training and events, members are also launching an industry-leading rebate program on all A2V product purchases.
Starting in Q2 2018, dealers who purchase a minimum of $500 of A2V products per quarter, will receive a 10% credit in the following quarter on all A2V products purchased – a financial kickback that is nearly unheard of. “As a leading national consortium of distributors in the AV industry, we feel it’s important to do whatever we can to listen to and support our dealers with the right tools and services they need to be successful,” said Holzer. “Dealers are tired of having to buy more and more quarter to quarter in order to achieve manufacturer rebates. Our program is simple and competitive. That combined with quality products, great margins and excellent warranty terms, makes A2V a win for our dealers.”
