If you’re like most businesses, you might have outdated or underperforming mobile computers, tablets, label printers, RFID readers or barcode scanners that aren’t keeping up with your business needs. But replacing them can be a significant expense, especially at a time when many businesses are navigating inflation and watching their budgets closely.
This is why it’s important to be aware of opportunities to save costs when you upgrade your devices, especially with programs such as Zebra’s GO Zebra trade-in rebates that make replacing your hardware much more affordable.
For example, with its current program, which runs through the end of this year, Zebra is offering rebates of up to $550 per device on label and RFID printers, including industrial, desktop, or mobile models. It’s also offering rebates of up to $250 per device on mobile computers and tablets, $200 per device on RFID readers, and $35 per device on barcode scanners.
If you have a fleet of devices that need to be replaced and upgraded, the GO Zebra Trade-In Program can quickly add up to thousands of dollars in savings. All you have to do is trade in your qualifying hardware and purchase any of Zebra’s qualifying next-generation solutions, which include dozens of devices purpose-built for mobile computing, scanning, tracking, locating, labeling and automation.
How to Find Out Your Eligibility and Explore Available Devices
To confirm that your current devices are eligible for trade-ins, you can contact our team at DCM, where we work with Zebra as a strategic technology partner and provide the full line of Zebra products with professional guidance, deployment, systems integration, and support. But here are the basic details directly from Zebra’s official criteria:
For mobile computers, any manufacturers’ brand or model of mobile handheld device with a display equal to or greater than 2” is eligible to be traded in.
For printers, any Zebra or competitive thermal barcode or card printer is eligible to be traded in but must power up and include the printhead.
For scanners, traded-in scanners must be comparable to the one being purchased.
For RFID devices, any RFID device from Zebra or any other manufacturer is eligible.
To confirm the trade-in eligibility for each of your devices, reach out to us, and we’ll also share the GO Zebra Trade-In Program brochure and details on which new Zebra devices are covered.
We’ll also walk you through our best recommendations and the most cost-effective options based on your business needs and Zebra’s available rebates.
A Simple Trade-In and Rebate Process
One of the reasons why businesses love the GO Zebra Trade-In Program is that is that the whole process is extremely simple.
You work with us to identify the right solutions for your needs, your qualifying hardware, and the qualifying new Zebra solutions that are right for your business.
Then, you purchase your qualifying products and submit your rebate claims online. Once Zebra reviews your claims and approves them, you’ll receive trade-in authorizations with instructions on how to trade-in your devices.
You have a full 90 days to complete your application and send in your device, and the whole process is typically very quick and smooth. The best part is that you get high-performing new devices with all the latest computing, scanning, data capture, tracking, locating, and communication capabilities—all at savings of up to hundreds of dollars on each device.
But you need to move now to take advantage of this program and complete your trade-ins before December 31, 2026, when these current offers expire.
