The terms of the promotion do not allow exchanging an old device for money, or making an exchange without money or with an additional payment from the seller. The price of the smartphone will be determined by consultants at Samsung sales points. According to the terms of the promotion, the device can be of any color and memory capacity, but must be in good technical condition.
A year ago, the company already held a similar promotion, but only residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg could take part in it. Then the buyers exchanged the previous flagship smartphones Samsung Galaxy S series and Galaxy Note, and Apple devices on the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 models and received a discount of up to 15 thousand rubles, recalls the head Samsung Mobile in Russia Arkady Graf. According to him, in 2015, through trade-in, buyers purchased 20% of all smartphones of the specified models sold during the promotion.
New Samsung flagships — Galaxy smartphones The company introduced the S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge in February 2016, and they are more popular than the previous model. According to SamMobile China, since March 11, more than 10 million pre-orders have been made for these models in China. As Counterpoint Research analysts specify, in China, sales of the Galaxy S7 in the first month after release exceeded Galaxy results S6 by 10%.

The buyer could take advantage of the offer from the end of August to the end of December. An Eldorado representative could not quickly tell how many clients took advantage of the offer.
With a similar initiative at the global level previously . In September 2015, during the annual presentation of new products, the American company presented a programiPhone Upgrade Program, which allowssign up for a monthly “subscription” to devices and receive new iPhone once a year, immediately after release new version.

If the price suited you, Huawei would issue a coupon for that amount, which would allow you to get a discount on the online store’s website, and the smartphone itself would be picked up by a Huawei partner.
Stimulating a falling market
Manufacturers are launching trade-in programs to stimulate consumer demand, senior analyst at the research company IDC Natalya told RBC Vinogradova . According to her, this is a very popular trend in the world: manufacturers, for the sake of a share in a certain price segment, were ready to exchange similar phones with minimal additional payment or practically free. Sometimes a manufacturer can launch such promotions at a loss if market share is important to it, noted Vinogradova . She added that since Samsung’s supplies to Russia are stable, “it means sales are still going on and the promotion should have a positive impact on stimulating demand.”
The head of the department agrees with Vinogradova cellular communications And digital devices J’son & Partners Consulting Evgeniy Alminov: trade programs in are aimed at supporting sales of flagship models and maintaining the market share of leading manufacturers, he believes. Sales of smartphones in Russia in 2015 decreased for the first time since 2009 to 25.3 million devices, Alminov noted.
In his opinion, manufacturers carry out such promotions because p Russian smartphone buyers are less willing to overpay for a brand and prefer to buy devices with similar characteristics at a lower price. A number of new manufacturers focused on the budget segment were able to occupy a significant share in the smartphone market in 2015, Alminov continues, so traditional manufacturers have to fight for buyers.
There are more and more offers on the market for exchanging old electronics for new devices. In October, the M.Video network will launch a Trade-in program for smartphones. In the summer, Apple offers a similar service for iPhone owners, at the same time the DamProdam service was the first online exchange of MacBooks in Russia.
The Village decided to figure out where and how to hand over an outdated smartphone or laptop in order to save on buying a new one.
