SECURE+ Showcases Enhanced Services
Using the Internet to improve business credibility can be a double-edged sword. Consumers can gather information endlessly online and yet we’re constantly reminded that not everything you read on the Internet is true. The Electronic Security Association created a new website to give credible information to consumers about enhanced security services. The new SECURE+ initiative aims to promote enhanced services through education, marketing and funding. The site features a consumer gateway that leads to information about product categories, industry awards and a find-an-integrator-near-you feature. There is also an integrator gateway on the site for those who want to join the program. As ESA’s executive director and chief executive officer, Merlin Guilbeau, stated, it is important to showcase the range of services ESA member companies have been providing for quite some time.

How-To Video Series
Silent Knight by Honeywell expanded the free fire alarm training and technical support it offers by developing a series of “How-To” videos, covering the most common topics addressed by its Technical Support Team.

Dedicated Website Content
Clare Controls reorganized and updated its website to add dedicated content for various types of visitors, to include new product information and to make it easier for everyone to navigate.

The Integrators tab gives access to the combined content of the company’s original residential and commercial Integrators sections, including complete product descriptions, specifications, etc. The Homeowners tab offers all-new content: an overview of ClareHome and its benefits for prospects and customers.
