Technology Distribution (TD) has given out brand new laptops to the first set of winners in its ongoing Laptomania promotion as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations.
Presenting the laptops to Joan Isemede, a student, and Ifeyinwa Umeh, a worker in Lagos, Mrs. Chioma Chimere, TD’s executive director, marketing, said that both winners were the first to win from the Lagos area and there would be winnings every week from all parts of the country.
She revealed that Laptomania was conceptualized to reward Nigerians in the six geo-political zones of Nigeria by giving out 1,000 laptops in 10 weeks to mark the 10th anniversary of TD.
Laptomania is supported by the HP, Zinox, Toshiba, Acer, and Dell, all international brands.
To qualify, a participant needs to text TD plus his/her name to 35056.
Chimere informed that the 10th anniversary celebrations of the company has been deliberately launched on the platform of a decade of distinctive leadership, in the last quarter of 2009, to ensure that consumers have a digital Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Characteristically the celebrations have been built around the customer with a view to give back to society in appreciation for the remarkable progress TD has made in its 10 years of operations in Nigeria and the West African sub region.
The 10th anniversary celebrations have been planned to span a period of 10 weeks and three main events have been packaged to ensure that the consumer and trade benefits get to the agreed targets. These events include Laptomania, TD Maths Quiz, and a Gala Nite.
Chimere explained that Laptomania puts up 1,000 laptops for grabs by resellers and end users in interactive SMS texts to a short code 35056.

The TD Gala Nite is an annual get together that unwinds pent up energies at the end of every year for the management and staff of TD and her resellers nation wide. These events would come with additional incentives, funfair and glamour to make the 10th Anniversary celebrations of TD a rewarding experience to Nigerians.
Chimere said that quality service delivery is one of the responsibilities that come with distinctive leadership and TD would deliver quality beyond the ICT products that come from original manufacturers to ensure that the consumer gets specific financial and social benefits.
