realme Pakistan Embarks on a Strategic Partnership with Advance Telecom

           

realme levels up its distribution network by partnering with one of Pakistan’s top mobile phone distributors to increase their footprint across the country.

 realme is always on the lookout for avenues to increase product availability in the market. To this end, realme has recently joined forces with Advance Telecom to increase their footprint in the Pakistani market. Partnering with a large variety of the top international players in the smartphone industry, Advance Telecom is well known as one of the leading mobile phone distributors in Pakistan. Founded in 2002, the distribution business has over time collected the most well-known clients in the mobile industry and garnered a lot of respect.

 

Starting off in the city of Karachi, Advanced Telecom has slowly but surely spread its distribution network around the whole country making it the largest distribution network in the country. They also have the biggest after sales service network in the country, having dedicated Customer Care Centers & Collection Points in all major cities and towns in Pakistan. Their Direct-to-Retail network has an incredible reach of over 230 cities/ towns. Advance Telecom’s sprawling, robust distribution network supports the transportation of smartphones, feature phones, as well as phone accessories.

 


realme has previously been working with three distributors across Pakistan, including Airlink Communications, M&P, and United Mobile, to disseminate their products in the market. With the addition of Advance Telecom as the fourth distributor, realme can increase the reach of their product line to areas they had not previously covered and can reinforce distribution services in areas that already had a distribution link. Being active in the market for 20 years has given Advanced Telecom a real understanding of the wants, needs, and attitudes of the Pakistani consumer which can prove to be beneficial knowledge for realme to capture a greater share of the market.

 

Syed Mashood Hassan, Country Director, realme Pakistan had this to say on the occasion: “The realme team is delighted for the opportunity to work with a distribution giant such as Advance Telecom. I have the highest hopes that our collaboration will prove mutually beneficial for realme and Advance Telecom and that we may continue this partnership fruitfully into the future. We will strive to deliver superior value to our user base together.”

 


The sprawling after-sales service network provided by Advanced Telecom can also be a great aid in maintaining the standard of quality that realme holds itself to and improving the user experience with realme smartphones post-purchase in order to bolster the relationships it has with its user base.

Rizwan Majeed, CEO, Advance Telecom, gave his views on the occasion saying: “We are overjoyed to announce our partnership with realme, the fastest growing smartphone brand, as part of our network. We would like to extend our reassurances to the realme team and our dealer network that we will work together to maintain the level of quality and service that realme aspires towards.”


With this newly formed partnership, realme fans can expect greater availability of all their favorite products nationwide in the future.

Beaconhouse students’ Art Exhibition helps raise funds for play area at the Children’s Hospital, Faisalabad

        

Beaconhouse, Pakistan’s largest network of private educational institutions, has recently helped set up a community play area at the Children’s Hospital, Faisalabad. Funds for this play area were raised from an Art Exhibition, themed ‘A Brush Can Change Everything’, held at Beaconhouse Kindergarten Branch, Faisalabad, as a charity initiative.

The aim of the Art Exhibition was to hold a fund-raising activity at the school with the help of young students’ artwork, while showcasing their creative skills and learning. Artwork created by the students of Beaconhouse Kindergarten Branch, Faisalabad was sold to parents, teachers, and other stakeholders and attendees during the exhibition, which helped raise a total of Rs. 600,000. The collected amount was then used to collaborate with the Children’s Hospital in Faisalabad to inaugurate a play area at the medical facility for its young patients.

Inspiration for the project was taken from the Beaconhouse funded recreational and play facilities at Children’s Hospital Lahore inaugurated in 2017, which includes an aviary.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the play area, Kasim Kasuri, Chief Executive of Beaconhouse, stated, “At Beaconhouse, we encourage our students to act as Dignity Ambassadors and community helpers, in order to inspire within them the core values of self-worth, charity, and the spirit of giving. I am proud of our students, their parents, teachers, and everyone else from the Beaconhouse team, who came together and helped execute this noble endeavour. I would also like to thank the team at the Children’s Hospital for their support with designating ample space at their vicinity, helping us make this possible.”

The play area at the Children’s Hospital features bright, pleasing colors to lift up spirits, and is complete with a variety of swings, trampolines, and play mats for the children’s entertainment during dreary hospital visits.

The organisation was established in 1975 and has been showcasing educational expertise ever since, with a current student strength of over 315,000 across Pakistan.
