By end of year, VoIP Supply succeeded in becoming the top North American supplier of VoIP Equipment. Year over year, VoIP Supply saw an increase in business profitability and became the go to e-commerce site to purchase VoIP. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that did not mean Ben was satisfied. Now that customers had a way to purchase new VoIP equipment, he began to think of where all of the used VoIP equipment would go as companies started to replace existing infrastructure. Moreover, Ben understood that the cost of new VoIP hardware could be a big impact to small businesses and a big purchasing decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that in mind came the idea of a refurbished line of VoIP equipment that would allow customers to purchase used VoIP equipment that was still in great conditions for a fraction of the cost of new equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the team got to work. By 2010 VoIP Supply officially implemented <\/span><a href=\"\/refresh\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'refresh');\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refresh<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A way to offer customers affordable VoIP equipment that would not break the bank, and better yet, a way to offer equipment that was reliable and warranty worth. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refresh Manager Mike Rehac expressed his thoughts on the roots of Refresh by saying, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur &#8220;Refresh&#8221; line was created because we wanted to meet the need for a low-cost alternative to new equipment\u00a0while differentiating ourselves from the used and crummy product offerings being by our competitors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rehac is in charge of anything Refresh at VoIP Supply. He makes sure that all the products are in working condition and that they look as good as new before they leave our warehouse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll Refresh products go through an exhaustive reconditioning process including feature\/functionality testing, software upgrades, component replacement, repackaging, etc., and represent an exceptional value as they can be purchased for 25%-35% less than their new retail equivalent,\u201d said Rehac. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every Refresh product comes with a six month no questions asked guarantee. Customers can add an additional six months to the warranty for a minimal fee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refresh offers <\/span><a href=\"\/refresh\/phones\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'voip phones');\">VoiP phones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"\/refresh\/switches\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'gateways and TDM cards');\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">switches<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"\/refresh\/gateways-tdm-cards\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'gateways and TDM cards');\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gateways and TDM cards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well as <\/span><a href=\"\/refresh\/ip-cameras\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'IP cameras');\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IP cameras<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hand-in-hand with Refresh is our Reclaim line, of which Rehac is also in charge of. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reclaim is our VoIP hardware \u00a0buyback program that gives anyone a chance to sell their gently used VoIP equipment for a fair market value and \u201creclaim\u201d a portion of their original investment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reclaim has a simple 5-step process to get you on the way to selling your excess VoIP equipment for more than what other popular e-commerce sites can give you.
