OEM-funded device promotions

Launch OEM-funded device promotions in your eCommerce store. Offer lower prices on Samsung, Google, and other devices while Reach manages pricing, tracking, and reconciliation.

Expand your device offers

Samsung, Google, and other OEMs fund quarterly device promotions. These programs help move specific devices.

Reach connects your store to eligible OEM programs through our distribution partner. We price, launch, track, and reconcile each promotion.

Your customers see one lower device price under your brand. You can discount a flagship by hundreds of dollars. You can also offer qualifying entry-level devices at no upfront cost.

Key benefits

Better customer prices

Combine OEM funding with your own contribution. Set a compelling shelf price for each promoted device.

Simple operations

Keep your existing fulfilment, returns, and support flows. Reach manages promotion operations and funding reconciliation.

  • Promote individual device SKUs with rules and dates you control.

  • Show one lower price without rebate forms or bill-credit fine print.

  • Track every funded unit automatically.

How OEM device funding works

Each promotion combines two contributions:

Promo price=MSRP−(OEM funding+your funding)\text{Promo price} = \text{MSRP} - (\text{OEM funding} + \text{your funding})

The OEM commits a fixed amount per unit in a quarterly term sheet. Most programs require a minimum operator contribution.

You approve that contribution and choose any additional subsidy. This sets the device price customers see.

Reach

Targeting rules

Each offer applies to a specific device SKU. You control the eligibility rules.

  • Require a port-in to target switchers.

  • Limit offers to selected plans or payment methods.

  • Apply promotion dates that match your acquisition campaign.

OEM funding contributions are separate. Each quarterly term sheet defines them.

Why OEM-funded promotions work

Device price often determines whether a visitor switches. A flagship at $499 can convert interest into a subscription.

OEM funding reduces the operator-funded part of each discount. You can invest more effectively in customer acquisition.

  • Avoid manual quarter-end spreadsheet reconciliation.

  • Use proven promotions already running on Samsung and Google devices.

  • Launch through configuration when your Device Store already runs on Reach.
