Latin America. JVC and Merlin Distributor announced the launch of a new promotional campaign aimed at all End Users who purchase the GY-HM250 4KCAM camcorders, having with the purchase of either a GY-HM250U, GY-HM250HW or GY-HM250SP camera, the special bonus that they will instantly receive two SSL-JVC50 batteries at no additional cost.
JVC will provide Merlin Distributor and the reseller with two SSL-JVC50 batteries for each GY-HM250U, GY-HM250HW and GY-HM250SP purchased during the campaign period automatically. In turn, free products will be provided to the End User free of charge when they purchase these camcorders within the promotion period. It will not be necessary to fill out forms, nor will it require waiting periods.
The two promotional free SSL-JVC50 batteries must be delivered to the End User customer at no cost. JVC Professional Products will announce and promote this promotion intensively through August.
This promotion will end on August 31, 2024, or when promotional batteries run out, whichever comes first.
With this type of actions and the work of its resellers in Latin America, Merlin Distributor obtained at the last NAB Show 2024 from JVC Professional Video, the division of JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation, the recognition for achieving a 60% growth in sales in Latin America during fiscal year 2023, as a result of having achieved significant growth in sales in the line of 4KCAM camcorders such as the GY-HM180 and the GY-HM250, in addition to the line of PTZ cameras, mainly focused on the KY-PZ400N model of the brand.
Edson Marion, CEO of Merlin Distributor states: "JVC's sales throughout the region are very strong, where we have achieved a very important increase throughout Latin America and we clearly know that it is the result of the joint work that we have been doing with all our sales channels, so with JVC we have carried out this first initiative so that all of them have better sales opportunities with this promotion that we have launched at the market with the 4KCAM GY-HM250 cameras, which have excellent qualities, having connectivity features, simultaneous outputs of 4K-HD-SDI and HDMI and a 12x optical lens, which in the price-benefit equation is unbeatable, all our resellers being able to transmit this attractive promotion also to all their customers".
For his part, Sergio Constantino, General Manager for Latin America at JVC, pointed out that the GY-HM250 line of 4KCAM cameras: "It is a very important camcorder model within our line, since in addition to having a very competitive price, it is a model that has streaming capability (UDP, RTMPS and Zixi) and has the "Broadcast Overlay" function that adds a watermark, logo, weather information, temperature, "live" logo and up to 3 different types of text, all pre-loaded from a computer, so that they can be used at the time of the live broadcast. In addition, the camera can be controlled over the Internet via the "WEB GUI", by accessing the camera's IP address via a smartphone, tablet, or computer, or through a controller such as the RM-LP100 (same controller as PTZ cameras). We believe that through Merlin's sales force and its resellers it is possible to have great success in this promotion."
