Happy Monday morning!

We wanted to follow up with some updated information about the MimioView Promotion starting in April. If you have already reached out to your Mimio Territory Manager or distributor about the cost to you, there was an error in the cost.  Please reach back out to your Mimio Territory Manager or distributor to learn your new reduced MimioView price.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  

Just in case you missed the first announcement about this promo, you can see the details below.

We want to remind you that the Go Mimio, Go Mobile Promotion ends March 31^st. Please have your POs into Mimio by March 31^st for your customers to partake in this promotion. Below you can review the overview of the promo, goal of the promo and T's and C's.  Happy Selling!  

We are excited to announce the “View It” Promotion. Starting April 1 and running through June 30, 2014, Mimio Reseller Partners and end-users can purchase MimioView™ document cameras at a reduced price!  Please reach out to your Mimio Territory Manager or distributor to learn what your reduced MimioView price will be. 

Overview of the “View It” Promotion

• Time frame of the promo: April 1 – June 30, 2014

• Goal: Increase MimioView sales by 35% during the length of the promotion.

Key Features of MimioView

 Here are some great features of the MimioView document camera, which you may want to emphasize to your customers: 

• Effortless setup – just connect the camera to a USB port on your computer, and you’re ready to capture images with MimioStudio™ classroom software.
• Only one cord – plug into a single USB computer port for both power and data.
• Quickly save work – annotate images and save files to use over and over.

You can learn more about the MimioView document camera by going to our MimioView product page.

After the release of MimioStudio 11 and MimioMobile 2, we wanted to provide you some time to use and understand the software updates before taking the updated Partner Assessment. With a few months under your belt using our latest software, we are now requiring all of our reseller partners’ sales reps to pass our updated 25-question assessment by May 31, 2014.  This assessment is to ensure you understand the Authorized Mimio Partner Program, know what’s available on Partner Resources and on the Mimio website, and have adequate understanding of all Mimio products and training programs. Sales reps may reference any of these resources while completing the assessment. Each Mimio Reseller Partner Sales Rep must score 80% or higher (answer 20 questions correctly) to pass. 

To take this test, please see this link.   

We want to clarify the way to contact Mimio Tech Support.  For you and your customers, please use one of these 3 ways of communicating with Tech Support:

• The Contact Us Tech Support Form on Mimio.com

• TechSupport@mimio.com

• 877-MY-MIMIO x 2

Contacting an individual instead of one of these 3 ways will delay our response time to you. Thank you for your compliance/support.

I know those of you who participated in the MimioTeach SPIFF that ended December 31, 2013 are eagerly awaiting your SPIFF.  The Reseller Partner Rep will be paid out and the partner account will be credited by the end of February. 

Mimio Reseller Partner Reps who are receiving SPIFF payouts, we’ve decided that it makes more sense to send you a check for the full SPIFF amount you earned instead of the gift card you have received from SPIFF programs in the past.  Be on the lookout for your SPIFF check which will be sent to the address you provided us.  If you do not receive your check by the first week of March, please email partners@mimio.com.

Before the start of Q1 tradeshow season, we wanted to provide you with our up to date pricing sheet.  We will be providing this to you twice a year – January and June with what has been updated from the previous pricelist.  By referring to the date, you will know if you are looking at the latest price sheet. The only variation to this schedule is if we have a new product that comes out during another time of year and therefore Mimio will need to update the price sheet in addition to the releases in January and June. 

With this said, you can reach out to your Territory Manager or distributor for the latest pricelist.  Please note, that there have been significant changes to this pricelist which include:

If after receiving this pricing doc you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your Mimio Territory Manager or distributor.  Thank you for your patience as we update and tailor this document to suite your needs.

We are excited to announce the Go Mimio, Go Mobile Promotion to our end customers.  From Feb 1^st – March 31^st 2014, for every MimioTeach purchased, the customer will receive a MimioMobile annual classroom license for one year, FREE!  

Overview of the Go Mimio, Go Mobile Promo

• Timeframe of the Promo: Feb 1^st – March 31^st 2014
• Promotion: For every MimioTeach purchased, the customer will receive a MimioMobile annual license FREE for one year 
• Please note that there must be an end-user email address on the PO to Mimio so Mimio can email the MimioMobile license activation code to the customer

Marketing Materials for Go Mimio, Go Mobile Promo

We have created some marketing materials you can use during this promotion, which include:

• Go Mimio, Go Mobile Sell Sheet - PDF about the promotion that can be printed or emailed out to your potential customers
• Poster - PDF that can be printed out and displayed at FETC, TCEA or other tradeshows you will be attending in the Feb and March timeframe

You can find these promotion marketing materials on Partner Resources' homepage on the right-hand side under Quick Links.  Please review the Terms and Conditions on the Sell Sheet or below to fully understand and partake in the promotion.

Goal of the Go Mimio, Go Mobile Promo

The SPIFF promotion that Mimio conducted in Q4 of 2013 was focused entirely on the Reseller Partners.  This was a major effort on our part to drive sales of MimioTeach in the channel via a promotion to you, our Reseller Partners.  We saw no significant uplift in MimioTeach sales from our Q4 SPIFF; therefore we are now conducting a promotion that is focused more on the end-user.  

We are projecting an uplift of 10% of MimioTeach sales over what the forecast is for US and Canada to deem this Go Mimio, Go Mobile promotion successful.  After the promotional period is over, we will communicate what we find from the results. The goal remains to drive business for Mimio and for our Reseller Partners, and we hope that this new Q1 promotion to the end user will do just that.

So, I know Partner Resouces can be a little overwhelming with the vast array of materials available to support your Mimio business.  We thought it may come in handy to highlight a few things that we feel would really benefit you.

Within Sales Support (section supporting sales activities), we want to highlight:

• Sales Demo Material - Mimio has created a modular demo and subject/product focused demos in .ink files to use during customer demos and tailor to suit your audience.

Within Marketing Resources (section supporting marketing activities), the main marketing materials we want to highlight include:

• Product Launch Kits - To support our partners when launching new products, Mimio has developed a comprehensive set of promotional tools, such as the product sell sheet, press release, product photography and product video, all available in one easy download.
• Logos, Fonts and Graphics - This part includes some of the basic elements you need to create your own marketing materials for Mimio, including Mimio company logos.
• Photography – The photography section includes an extensive image library that includes product shots and product-in-use photos, in both high and low resolution to add to your website, catalogue or brochures.

Thought a little refresher on Friday afternoon of what's available on Partner Resources was due.  I  hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
