Denon Picks 100th Anniversary Dealers

By Joseph Palenchar -- TWICE, 9/23/2010



Atlanta - Denon tapped 36 dealers to carry its 100th Anniversary collection of seven hand-tuned home-entertainment products.

The dealers will be featured in Denon's "100 Days of Denon" marketing campaign, which kicks off Oct. 1. The dealers will work with Denon to execute a multi-tiered marketing and merchandising campaign that includes advertising, contests, giveaways and in-store events, Denon said. The dealers will also receive a Denon 100th Anniversary Dealer logo for use in merchandising the Special Edition products.

The 100th anniversary dealers were selected based on their commitment to a minimum set of merchandising requirements, which Denon will reward with stepped-up support and exclusive access to the anniversary edition products. The dealers will also be featured on Denon's www.Denon100.com microsite.

The anniversary products include the DCD-A100 two-channel SACD/CD player, 2x80-watt PMA-A100 integrated amp, DP-A100 direct-drive turntable, AVR-A100 9.2-channel AV receiver, and DBP-A100 universal Blu-ray player, all at a suggested $2,499 each. The DL-A100 hand-wound turntable cartridge and AH-A100 over-ear headphones are $499 each. All products, available early November, were designed "to capture the essence of Denon and its ongoing mission," the company has said.
