HP and Royale Computers & Accessories open the first exclusive HP Store in Jamaica

HP announced the opening of its first HP Store in Jamaica in partnership with Royale Computers & Accessories, which will offer consumers the opportunity to get to know and experience the latest HP technology.
The objective of this initiative is to maximize the offer for the consumers and entrepreneurs in Jamaica who will have for the first time, a place to interact with HP products that better adapt to its market necessities.
The HP Store is a showcase that presents the best in entertainment and productivity, a qualified space where the consumers can learn, test and evaluate the products from personal computers, printers, telephones and accessories of the brand. Also, entrepreneurs can verify the security and benefits of the HP business line products in a space designed for understanding the necessities of the corporate market.
“The idea of the HP Stores arises as part of the geographic expansion strategy that is getting HP closer to its customers,” said Pedro Cheng, Territory Manager and PSG sales specialist for the Caribbean.

“HP also bets on technology transference, quality and the service of all of its products in collaboration with the business partners, ratifying once more the leadership of HP with 36% of the computer market based on market intelligence firm, International Data Corporation’s (IDC) latest announcement for RoLA (Rest of Latin America).

The Caribbean is really important for HP because it has shown valuable figures of a sustained development throughout the time, especially in the last two years. “The Caribbean duplicated its market in a year’s time and it continues to grow”.

“The opening of this HP store in Jamaica is an exciting time in the history of technology,” said Jack Khemlani, head Royale Computers and Accessories. “It is now Jamaica’s chance to experience the latest technology and the most advanced tech store.”

With the HP Store, the customers would have the opportunity to know and adapt to the fastest revolution of the digital world’s technology; as a customer oriented company it is our objective to have a close relationship not only with our final costumers but with the small and medium enterprises which are a key sector for the development of the Caribbean.
“The commitment of HP towards the Caribbean market will be reinforced with the opening of HP stores, understanding that this market represents 41% of the total of HP PSG business in CAC (Central American and Caribbean) region,” Mr. Cheng added.

The first HP Store in Jamaica will open its doors on September 16th, at Shop No. 2 Tropical Plaza, with salespersons specialized in giving advice to consumers. This new store joins the chain of HP Stores that started activities in Latin America in the middle of 2008 and are operated by HP business partners. HP’s target plan for FY10 is to open more than 25 stores in CACPRVEN out of which 6 will be only in the Caribbean.
During three consecutives weekends of inauguration, the HP Store in Jamaica will offer instantaneous discount bonus for costumers applied to all products in the store so each person that visits the store can have the opportunity to live the HP experience.

Carnival of colours

Masquerade - courtesy Bacchanal Jamaica Spring is in the air, the foliage of the tropics blooming spreading innumerable colours of Mother Nature, from trees to flowers to mango trees laden with succulent, juicy fruits sweetening in the crisp Caribbean sunshine. As the monochrome rays of the sun refract into spectral colours at the Mas Camp in Kingston, in a quiet corner, Earl 'Fuzzy' Franklin sits surrounded by glue, stapler guns, pliers and scissors - unlikely tools one may think that transform mundane, raw material into sensuous, colourful carnival costumes. "I am not a designer," Fuzzy says, "I know how to put the costumes together." Fuzzy, who has been with Bacchanal Jamaica since its inception, says that initially the costumes were bought from Trinidad. "While we were out there (in Trinidad), I would watch them (the designers) at work, and I picked up the traits," he said. "After three years, we started making our own ...

A Journey To The Past - Art In Jamaica (C. 1000 - C. 1900)

Hues of the yellow light dispersed on the hollow eyes of the Zemi, standing like a warrior enclosed in a glass frame, the large eye sockets of the mahogany figurine holds centuries of Jamaica's history buried in them. The Zemi, which were worshipped by the Taino, are part of the selection of the rich heritage housed in the Art in Jamaica, c. 1000-c. 1900 section at National Gallery of Jamaica in downtown Kingston. "These (artefacts) are priceless and (are a) deep-rooted representation of Jamaica's history," said Monique Barnett-Davidson, curatorial assistant in the education department at the National Gallery. The diversity of the exhibits - like the country's motto 'Out of Many, One People' is a confluence of cultures - commencing from the early Taino artefacts made of wood, chiselled into the early Spanish-Persian influence in limestone, dissipating on to canvas in geometrical perfection and symmetrical symphony.

In The Groove: Randy's Record Store Keeps A Jamaican Musical Tradition Alive

Carl Lauder started working when he was a teenager and has since kept going Carl Lauder gently pulls out a record from its cover, dusts it and places it on the turntable, gently placing the needle on the groove, and lets the player turn out the sounds of music. Lauder is not a fancy disc jockey, in Randy's Record Mart in Parade, downtown Kingston - a melting pot of the city - he is striving to preserve and keep a musical tradition alive. "I have been working here (at Randy's) since I was a teenager," said Lauder, as he meticulously wiped traces of dust from an LP (long play) record. "I love what I am doing and this gives me the motivation to carry on." Lauder is a lone soldier, treading the path to keep the romance of analogue tones alive in the 21st-century digital world. Randy's is testimonial to the crests of the island's musical history. Sounds of silence: A stack of vinyl in the recording studio Established by Vincent 'Randy...
