MFX-C3035 Selling Strategy It is important when selling the MFX-C3035 not to sell into environments that need an A3 device. We have pinpointed several possible strategies to help build this new A4 customer base: STRATEGY 1: APPROACH EXISTING A3 CUSTOMER BASE Promote the MFX-C3035 to existing or new A3 color MFP customers as a complimentary machine in work environments (work groups of 3 to 9 members) that are suitable for MFX-C3035 installation.
MFX-C3035 Selling Strategy STRATEGY 3: APPROACH A3 MONOCHROME MFP CUSTOMER BASE This is a two tiered strategy targeting monochrome users. First, aging Segment 1/A3 machines should be targeted for replacement if the customer has no use for the A3 capability. In these instances the customer will benefit from a low cost color machine offering similar functionality to their low end A3 monochrome MFP.
