Dell for the Holidays: Double Discounts Through Dec. 31

This holiday season, Dell is offering double discounts to NAHB members on an array of products designed to meet the technology needs of your company.

That means Dell’s normal discounts of 3%-5% to NAHB members will double to 6%-10% on essential small business technology, including business-class desktops and cutting-edge notebooks.

Dell not only has the technology to make your home building business run more efficiently — it also offers NAHB members a more efficient way of doing business. 

To Get Your Discount

Visit the Member Advantage main page on the NAHB Web site and click through Dell for complete details.

To maximize your Dell Member Advantage Discount:

After you have made your selections and are ready to purchase, call your dedicated Dell sales representative at 888-577-3355, Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. (CST) and Saturday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (CST). 

Your sales representative will apply your NAHB member discount to your order.

NAHB members who have previously ordered from Dell also receive a monthly catalog, which includes this double discount offer.

The Dell Double Member Discount* offer is valid through 12/31/06.

* Double discounts do not apply to the preconfigured systems that are already priced at up to 20% off.

Other Member Advantage Discounts

For the most up-to-date details on the Member Advantage discount program and all of the participating companies, go to the Member Advantage main page on the NAHB Web site.
