Early success enabled Dell Computer to concentrate on its direct sales approach;selling computers over the telephone.According to Michael Dell,''Customers tell us what they want and we build computers to meet their needs and ship them out,usually within thirty-six hours.''By selling direct to customers,Dell avoids the price markup that retailers charge;in many cases,customers can purchase Dell's ''customized''computers for 15 to 25 percent less than the brands sold in stores.In addition to lowering prices,direct selling has enabled Dell to reduce inventory costs and to stay in touch with its customers.By constantly talking with customers over toll-free phone lines,Dell Computer finds out what customers like and dislike.As a result,the company has incorporated into its new product lines numerous small improvements that give it an edge on its competitors.

Basically, Dell computers could only be purchased by phone or internet. That is no longer the case as Walmarts sell Dell computers at this time. The company felt that if they didnt put them in stores then there would be no price mark up and the computer would be cheaper to buy and it would be according to exactly what the customer wanted. When you purchase a computer in the store it isnt customized. i hope that helped a bit.

It's ALL B.S..... The ONLY real sentence that has any meaning is the one that says they're cutting out the middle-man...By ordering direct from them, you're not having to pay profit to a retailer like Best Buy or Walmart...



The statement about building a "customized" system holds very little water, since all they're doing is upselling you components (like a bigger hard drive, more RAM, or a larger monitor) to a "pre-existing" generic system...You can't order a better/faster motherboard, higher-end graphics or sound card, or the other things that make a system truely customized...



If you REALLY want a custom-built system, go to a local computer store, and have one built to YOUR specifications, and not Dell's idea of what they think you need...



It's not that I don't like Dell, it's just that I like knowing exactly what's going into MY computer for my money...

Dell Computers is starting to sell products over the phone because with this they can keep the prices down, have orders go faster, make sure they get the order just right, and the communication also helps Dell know what their costumers like and dislike by asking them by phone.

If you wanted translated into simpler terms, it just means the dell finds it cheaper to sell its computers over the phone as opposed to customers buying it straight out of the store.

it means because dell makes computers for a persons individual needs, by customers calling and ordering what they want, they have been able to keep costs down for the consumer and make improvements to their products from information they have received from customers and what they want from their computer, which has opened up many possibilities for this company and has made them a leading computer company among the giants like apple and hp

Dell is a direct seller of computer & technology products. By selling direct (over the phone & online) and not in a brick & mortar operation, they afford the buyer a 15-25% discount over buying a personal computer at say - Best Buy or some other retailer whose business is to add markups to the wholesale cost to make profits. This is because they do not need to stock a storefront, pay a staff to monitor the storefront, or have overheads like rent, utilities, retail insurance etc., and can pass savings along to telephone & internet customers.
