Target market

Positec's target customers are Brazilians in classes C/D who have the need and purchasing power to buy a personal computer or mobile devices. The low-cost configurations alongside ong-term financing has allowed the company to build a national coverage and distribution model in 2004, selling the products in all major retail companies throughout Brazil.[10][11][12]
