Retail

Skype is changing the telecoms industry for good, and we want you to become a part of our success.

We’re dedicated to providing the best possible experience for calling anywhere in the world with Skype. This means that we want our callers to have access to high quality products to optimise their experience with Skype, and we want to work with the best retailers in the world to ensure they get the correct products for them.

With 196 million registered users retailers can open up their doors to a new audience by partnering with Skype. People can easily start using Skype by purchasing a Skype starter pack from your store to get everything they need to start making calls: software, SkypeOut minutes and an entry-level headset.

Skype has led to a significant increase in the sale of headsets and many other accessories, with sales increases of up to 400% achieved for Skype Certified™ products. People choose Skype Certified products when upgrading to higher functionality accessories - like headsets, USB phones and cordless phones. People using Skype have a high degree of trust in the Skype brand and 90% of the time will select a Skype Certified product over one that says “VoIP compatible”.
