ASKO Appliances has announced a set of aggressive offers for its agents to use during August 2012 to encourage sales.

Sales and marketing executive Lisa Sutcliffe said that during August, ASKO will be “running out” its 60-centimetre induction cooktop (HI1661), cutting the price from $2,399 to $1,699.

There are also two offers for ASKO agents to promote. The first is the Premium Pack, which is a $1,502 saving for consumers that purchase the OP8651 pyrolytic oven, the CC4840 concealed rangehood and HI1832 induction cooktop in one transaction.
