This year’s ComponentSource Bestselling Product and Bestselling Publisher Awards were announced on Mar 26th, 2010. There were two separate award lists for our Top 100 Bestselling Products for 2009 and our Top 100 Bestselling Publishers for 2009. The awards were based on the Total Sales $ Value of Sales for the Products/Publishers over the last year from Jan 1st, 2009 to Dec 31st, 2009 through ComponentSource. We gave out separate awards to our Top 5, Top 10, Top 25, Top 50 & Top 100 Bestselling Products and also to our Top 5, Top 10, Top 25, Top 50 & Top 100 Bestselling Publishers from last year.
The award winners were notified on Mar 26th, 2010 and also listed on our Web site. We also announced our Japanese Awards on the same day, so you can also see Top 50 Bestselling Products in Japan and our Top 10 Bestselling Publishers in Japan. Each winning publisher was sent an award logo or logos to use on their Web site Awards pages or adverts, so if you see your name on the list and you have not received your email - with the awards logos attached - please get in touch and we will forward it to you again.
We believe that these awards are a true industry barometer, as they are based on real world orders placed by our global customers from over 175 countries worldwide. As such the awards will help our customers and publishers alike compare their product and company performance, as they cannot be swayed by votes or opinions from non-customers. These awards are based on real customers, buying software product licenses from us around the world! To discuss this award program please email: chrisb@componentsource.com in our Atlanta office, or harryk@componentsource.com in our Reading office or scotts@componentsource.co.jp in our Tokyo office.

ComponentSource holds a GSA Schedule agreement with the US Govt that enables Federal; State and Govt Agency customers to buy your products more easily. We recently had our existing 5 year GSA Schedule agreement extended for a further 5 years - so it now runs until Dec 2014. Why does this matter to you? We can help you boost your sales - right now - to Govt customers in the US. All you need to do is sign an additional letter of supply and your products will automatically appear on our GSA Schedule agreement and in the GSA Advantage Web site, along with some other Govt purchasing and supply shopping malls.
See our GSA Schedule details - the agreement runs until Dec 8th, 2014:

Chris Brooke can help you get your products listed and updated now on our new Govt purchasing contract. We will need a USD based price list from you, so you may need to create a new price list for use in North America, if you are not working in USD with us already. You will also need to declare in the letter of supply the country where your software is created, along with giving certain support and pricing guarantees for the products that we are reselling. To do this, all you need to do is sign the letter of supply that Chris Brooke will send to you and fax it back to us before the end of March.
Act now - before Mar 31st, 2010 and we will add your products to our next update in April.
Please email Chris Brooke chrisb@componentsource.com and he will send you the GSA Letter of Supply to sign today! |
