#100942 - Philips Missing the point? Responding to: ???'s previous message |

As far as I know, the story is that a former Philips executive told Digi-Key "why would we be interested in low volumes". Surely the point of a distributor like Digi-Key is that they handle all the small-order "grief" with individual customers - and the sum of all their small orders is a reasonable volume for Philips... His successor apologized to Digi-Key several times Hopefully, the light has dawned! making it so that amateurs/students buy Atmel predisposes them for selecting that brand and that, eventually, will cost the volume sales. Absolutely! Just look at - dare I say it - Microchip! And look at Maxim, who give away free samples to any Tom, Dick, or Harry! |
