Dell Offering Double Discounts Through September

Dell is offering double discounts to NAHB members through Sept. 30 on an array of products designed to meet the technology needs of your company.

That means Dell’s normal discounts of 3% to 5% to NAHB members will double to 6% to 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 www.dell.com/nahb for complete details and to make your selection.

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 through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (CST) and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (CST). Mention link ID# 115762620.

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 Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, 2008.

* 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.



Free NAHB Kit Gives Builders Back-to-Basics Tips to Navigate the Slowdown

What was once expected to be a relatively mild housing slump following three years of record new home construction and sales has given way to a significant downturn.

To help members navigate the uncharted waters of this slowdown, NAHB has compiled a comprehensive “Back to Basics” online toolkit — the best of the basics, the tried and true and the truly new. To access the toolkit, click here.

To access the “Back to Basics” toolkit, you must be an NAHB member and have a login to www.nahb.org. To create a login, go to www.nahb.org/login or click on the log-in button on the main menu bar.

For assistance, call the NAHB Member Service Center at 800-368-5242.
