Who in the 1980’s could guess programmable thermostats would be the first device to lead to an entire Smart Home market? The Smart Home market is expected to approach $40 Billion annually in the U.S. by 2020!1 Clearly, smart home technology isn’t just for early-adopters anymore, with 69% of American households reporting owning at least 1 smart product, and 61% saying they were extremely interested in adding more because they love the features and convenience.2 With the latest offerings in promotional products, marketers can give their customers personalized business gifts they’re already asking for: smart home technologies.
Get in Control
Marketers can show off their logos on a wide variety of simple customized smart home accessories that allow customers to use apps or the smart speakers they may already own to control lamps, the television, coffee pots, or whatever appliance they want. Simply by logging into the app from their phones or tablets, appliances can be turned on or off as well as have schedules set to do so automatically.
Safety First
In addition to the convenience of remotely controlling appliances, today’s smart home owner can use their home Wi-Fi to add an additional layer of security to their property with smart cameras and smart doorbells. Incorporating video recording, motion-detecting alarms, and two-way audio functionality, home owners can feel assured their property is being monitored even when they’re away with a simple check of the app.
Statistics show your customers are already embracing smart home technology and are looking for more. Savvy marketers can secure a place in the customers’ homes and lives by offering promotional items that show they’ve got the smarts to help their customers create the homes they want.
