Retailer vs Service Provider

Retailer vs Service Provider

Do you know the difference between a retailer and service provider? In this article I'm going to provide some key differences and how it applies to us.

When buying goods, you'll commonly go to a retailer, where you'll get the ability to look for the product you want to buy on your own. It's up to you to do the research and find the best price or the best value for your hard earned money. If you're buying something technical or with a wide market spread of choices, this can be a daunting task to find what is needed without help.

With a service provider, you're paying for their time and expertise on the subject at hand. In some cases this can be the research and support for purchasing a new product. In our case we provide services to help match you with tech. This can save you on a lot of unknowns and help ensure you end up with the right piece of equipment for your needs.
