Motivations Behind the Partnership
The smartphone market has seen a significant rise in prices due to advancements in technology. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly looking for effective trade-in strategies to stimulate the purchase of new devices. However, running a buyback program requires extensive investment in assessments, resale networks, and potentially acquiring the necessary licenses to operate.
Belong's expertise in the realm of trade-in services will be instrumental in overcoming these challenges. Working alongside Xiaomi, they aspire to enhance the convenience for customers, making it seamless to transition to new models while ensuring that used devices find new life.
