Element14 Brings Raspberry Pi Online Projects Portal And 8GB Pi Bundle

For any manufacturer, the main challenges have been high entry costs, troubles in locating high standard manufacturing facility and identifying the consumer base. But if we are talking about the mini-magic PC Raspberry Pi, it is one product that has managed to achieve high acclaims, that too in a short span! Its open-source nature and ultra-cheap pricing definitely played a big role in its success. Element14 has just introduced a Raspberry Pi Bundle which sports 8GB memory and it will ship only at $40.

The new bundle packs a Raspberry Pi B Board and an 8GB SD card that comes preloaded with all six of the official Raspberry Pi Foundation approved operating systems. The 8GB SD card will be super helpful for users who want some space to create and save their Raspberry Pi projects. To bring owners even closer, Element14 has also launched a new online resource: Raspberry Pi Projects, which is intended to provide a single space for skilled Raspberry Pi owners to share and highlight their creations, learn to go onto the next levels.

The Bundle of 8GB Raspberry Pi can be ordered from Farnell Element14 in Europe, CPC in the UK and Ireland, Newark Element14 and MCM in North America and Element14 in APAC!

Are Electronics Distributors Adapting to Developments in E-Commerce?

A large proportion of the electronics industry's franchised distributors have adapted their sales strategies to embrace the online revolution. However, there are still a large percentage of electronics distributors (authorised and non-authorised) who are failing to evolve and adapt to change. They are subsequently running the risk of being nullified by digital-savvy businesses. Developments in e-commerce and digital marketing have seen a number of catalogue distributors revenues catapult, as a result of optimising their online presence. Understandably, it is difficult decision for management to try something new, like pricing up inventory and setting up an e-comms site to sell all stock online. However, reasons such as 'too many background movements' and 'listings are too complicated to set up' are factors that the some of the industry's distributors have specified when questioned about selling and advertising their inventory online.


Surely this should be at the forefront of all marketing strategies? It could be said that the broker side of the industry has fallen well behind other sectors in terms of e-commerce developments. Are some of the Marketing bosses in the electronics industry set in their ways with their sales and marketing strategies, such with utilising paper catalogues and 'cold calling' techniques rather than selling and marketing their products online? 

Evidently this has to change...We urge bosses in this position to look at the likes of Digi-key and Farnell (authorised), Freelance and Quest (non-authorised), who are adding more and more design tools and content, ultimately driving the visitor to their respective shopping carts for an online purchase. Now the flood gates are opening with both small non-franchised distributors to manufacturers direct re-designing their sites and adding product pages with shopping carts. So where is this all heading? Imagine looking for a part, and within seconds seeing all the stock available from not just the major distributors, but the manufacturers direct and even non-franchised distributors all in one place, all ready and waiting for your prized click to their cart. It dosen't end there, how about if you could see who has the cheapest price?
