AMT Warranty Corp's extended-warranty providers are rolling out a host of new services and programs for clients and end users to help lower costs and raise attachment rates during the slow economic recovery.

Online PR News – 12-July-2013 – Texas – AMT warranty service is placing greater emphasis on extended-service plan (ESP) bundles that provide a value-add for consumers. “You can boost sales by providing extended warranties with a different twist,” said President of the company, such as an identity-theft protection offer included free with the purchase of a plan, or 15 months of coverage for the price of 12. “We are giving the consumer a more robust offering so they feel they are getting more for their money,” he explained.

AMT Service Corp is also maintaining “an intense focus” on account management through enhanced training, point-of-sale material and sales techniques. “Sales people need a different dialogue today,” said, one of the company officials, as hard-pressed consumers question an extra ESP outlay in a tough economy. “Clients welcome a different message for different times.”

For Service Net Warranty, growth has come from multiple channels, including OEM aftermarket programs; subscription-based coverage for notebooks and wireless devices that can be extended from month to month; and an early entry into the burgeoning e-book reader business, which has given it a dominant position in that category.

For manufacturers, Service Net is providing a stepped-up marketing program that reaches out to consumers both during and at the conclusion of their extended-service contracts through email, direct calls, social networking and direct mail pieces. The company is also now offering factory service programs on Amazon.com for a wider array of clients including Panasonic, Sharp and the recently signed LG Electronics.

The company recently began providing factory and aftermarket warranty programs for two of the industry's leading flat-panel TV vendors, and continues to expand its extended-warranty offering with current manufacturer clients.

AMT Warranty Corp has also enjoyed a significant expansion in the fitness category as that business extends into the CE space, and has upped its profile with furniture dealers, where CE is also playing an increasingly significant role.

For NEW Customer Service Companies, the answer is a new suite of interactive plug-and-play Web tools that can help optimize sales of extended-service plans and other premium services for retailers by providing an appealing and convenient online interface for consumers.

“As online retailing has grown, and as services are continually being added to support product offerings such as extended-service plans, NEW identified a need for tools to manage that system and provide a more engaging experience for customers,” said the CEO of the company.
