A rise in advertising for DIY products has increased the public's awareness about the importance for security overall and has contributed to the economy's growth. Security is everywhere you look these days, including on television shows and in the news.
An article in SDM magazine shared results of SDM's own research, which showed positive results across the alarm industry in 2018 - for both residential and business markets.
"More dealers and integrators - 73 percent - expected a growth in revenue in 2018, when polled in September 2018, a 6 percent increase over the previous year. And 85 percent of respondents reported 2018 was a good to excellent year for intrusion alarms, up from 81 percent the previous year, while a whopping 96 percent expected 2019 to be at least as good if not better than 2018."
Recent advancements in interactive services have led the customer to interact with the alarm panel more and more often. This alone creates that "stickiness" that all dealers are looking for to decrease churn. At the same time, customers are starting to see security as a necessity in life.
