WASHINGTON -- The American Bus Association today announced a new money-saving member benefit through a Premium Partnership with HP to offer all ABA members special pricing and significant discounts on a wide range of HP business products they use every day, including printers, notebooks, PCs, domestic shipping services, internet servers and more.
“ABA’s new Premium Partnership with HP means that our members booking tours, booking rooms and booking shows will save money on the latest technology,” said ABA President & CEO Peter J. Pantuso, CTIS. “We’re pleased to provide such a valuable new benefit to ABA members, because we know that even as the economy stabilizes, every dollar still counts.”
HP’s commitment to recycling computers under three years old at no charge also resonated with ABA because it shows the company is dedicated to green business practices that are consistent with motorcoaches as the greenest way to travel.
ABA member savings are available on such top-tier products as the HP Mini 5102 netbook laptop computer, which can be bought for only $399 – including a case for bus travel – a savings of $258 on the bundle. The 10.1-inch diagonal mini PC can be bundled with Windows, HP QuickWeb access, and for $99 an HP External USB CD/DVD Drive. Laptop Magazine called the HP Mini 5102 “the best business netbook money can buy.”
“HP’s computer recycling program shows they’re a great green business partner,” Pantuso added. “And when you can save green and go green, everyone wins.”
ABA members can call 888-202-4465 to order, using the special code “Helping Philadelphia Marketplace Scheduling 2,” or the acronym HPMS2, or go online to http://www.hp.com/go/HPMS2. Other ABA member specials are available, plus free domestic ground shipping.
