This store is the first step towards offering expert advice and service to our customers in remote areas,\u201d said Marco van Niekerk, CEO of Incredible Connection.<\/p>\n<p>According to van Niekerk the size of the store would be limited with only key categories on display. However, the range of available products would not be restricted as the model relies on customers ordering online. Incredible Connection will also offer technical back-up support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe e-Stores are part of Incredible Connection\u2019s plan to increase its national footprint and consolidate its position as South Africa\u2019s leading consumer technology retailer. The company plans to roll out more stores by the end of the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Ultrabook pricing comparison\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/hardware\/54373-ultrabook-pricing-comparison.html\"><strong>Ultrabook pricing comparison<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook review \" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/reviews\/52165-acer-aspire-s3-ultrabook-review.html\"><strong>Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook review<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook laptop review \" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/reviews\/52163-dell-xps-13-ultrabook-laptop-review.html\"><strong>Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook laptop review<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Batteries, many-core processing and Ultrabooks: IDF 2011 roundup \" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/hardware\/34224-batteries-many-core-processing-and-ultrabooks-idf-2011-roundup.html\"><strong>Batteries, many-core processing and Ultrabooks: IDF 2011 roundup<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incredible Connection (IC) will launch the first of its new micro-format e-stores next week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":3411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2065,3592,26,829,3159,3593],"class_list":["post-18086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-e-commerce","tag-e-store","tag-headline","tag-incredible-connection","tag-marco-van-niekerk","tag-micro-store"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18086"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18092,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18086\/revisions\/18092"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
