Friday, August 24th, 2012

Nubox today opened its 10th Apple Premium Reseller (APR) store in Sim Lim Square. Prior to this, it had an Apple Authorised Reseller store at the geek’s paradise.

The new Nubox APR store replaces the previous AAR store in Sim Lim Square.

To be awarded APR status, the store met stringent criteria from Apple: ability to offer impeccable service to customers, store location and size and availability of staff with Apple Certified Support Professional certification.

In addition to the complete range of Apple products, Nubox@Sim Lim Square will offer a quality range of third-party accessories and software as well professional services that include training and service support.

Newstead Technologies now has 11 Nubox stores across Singapore, comprising 10 APRs and one AAR in Funan Digital Life Mall. The Funan AAR will also be replaced with an APR next month.

Evelyn Chua, the Chief marketing Officer of Newstead, tells me that she plans to open a twelfth Nubox APR in Bedok Mall next year.

“With over 45 stores in Singapore, we hear the frustrations of our customers in their relentless search for the perfect accessories for their mobile devices. Often, style is compromised by the need for function and that is something which tech@vogue is set to change … we have accessories that consumers may not even know they need before visiting our store,” said Evelyn Chua, Chief Marketing Officer, Newstead Technologies.

Other exciting displays include the Slingbox which allows users to watch and control their home television on their mobile devices; and a dedicated Samsung corner that demonstrates the integration of functions through technology to provide a seamless experience.

The second tech@vogue Gallery will open at Marina Bay Link Mall in August 2012. Evelyn tells me they are looking to add a third in the Orchard area.

Second and bigger Digital Style store in Jurong Point

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Following the success of its first thematic-shopping multi-brand electronics concept store in Funan DigitaLife Mall, Newstead Technologies has launched its second and bigger store in Jurong Point.

The new Digital Style store is at #B1-92/93 in Jurong Point.

At 9,000 square feet, the new store at Jurong Point is almost three and a half times the size of its first store in Funan, which has an area of only 2,647 square feet.

Hours 10:30am to 9:30pm
Location Jurong Point
Unit #B1-92/93
Address 1 Jurong West Central 2

Unlike the Funan store, cameras are now being sold in its own section in the second store.

Consistent with the thematic-shopping concept of the Digital Style chain of stores, the branch at Jurong Point offers customers a comprehensive consumer-centric and experiential retail experience.

The idea is to present a stress-free environment where shoppers can compare brands at ease and test-drive products at six solution corners namely Entertainment & Media, Gaming, Home Computing, Mobile Communications, Office & Professional and Ultra Mobile & Business.

“We are elated that the new concept is well received by our customers. They are spoilt for choice and yet they can zoom right in to the solution corner. Like a personal shopper that help takes the guess work out of the equation, it is a breeze to find the best products to suit your lifestyle needs at Digital Style,” said Evelyn Chua, Business Development and Marketing Manager of Newstead Technologies.Instead of the industry practice of categorising products by brands, they are categorised according to function and specifications at the different solution corners.

Shoppers can easily mix-and-match and plug-and-play the gadgets in-store to experience and compare the different products displayed.

Back in September 2011, when the first Digital Style store was opened in Funan, Evelyn had told me that there would eventually be four to five such stores in the chain geographically distributed around Singapore.

The next Digital Style store will be at The Star Vista towards the end of this year.

Thematic shopping with Digital Style

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Newstead Technologies has opened a new multi-brand IT concept store in Funan DigitaLife Mall today. “Digital Style” is organised into six thematic zones, based on the needs of the modern IT consumer.

This is in keeping with the times – since consumers today have different purchasing habits and approaches.
This is the first of a chain of such stores. Eventually, there will likely be four to five such stores geographically distributed around Singapore, according to Evelyn Chua, Business Development and Marketing Manager of Newstead Technologies.
The 2,647 square feet store is located at #03-32 of the mall and opens from 11 am to 8 pm from Tuesdays to Sundays, and 11 am to 7 pm on Mondays.

The six themes are Entertainment & Media, Gaming, Home Computing, Mobile Communications, Office & Professional, and Ultra Mobile & Business.

The focus is on allowing shoppers to try out, for themselves, different products in the themes they are interested in.

For instance, in the gaming kiosk, the whole spectrum of gaming related gadgets and peripherals – from consoles, laptops, speakers and controllers – are displayed, for shoppers to mix-and-match and plug-and-play the various components together at one-stop.

The store is organised into six themes.Across the various themes, products are featured from all the major brands, including Acer, Asus, BlackBerry, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, HTC, Lenovo, Logitech, Microsoft, Motorola, Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and others.

Apple related products are absent, so you’ll have to visit authorised Apple resellers, such as Nubox, which is also under Newstead Technologies.

I noticed that digital cameras and video cameras are not sold at the shop.

Update (24 February, 2012): Newstead Technologies has opened its second and bigger Digital Style store in Jurong Point. The next will be at The Star Vista towards the end of 2012.
