The Show Must Go On

Last year, 2011, the ADT Custom team took part in a number of community events: Buffalo Grove Days; Deerfield Community Service Day and the Long Grove Apple Festival, just to name a few. This year, 2012, we're going to participate in Spring, Summer and Autumn events outdoors, but we're also going to be keeping busy throughout the Winter with some indoor events as well.

Last weekend we took part in a home improvement show in Grayslake, at the New Lake County Fairgrounds. This weekend we'll be appearing at the Prairie Stone Sports Center in Hoffman Estates. I'll be there on Saturday from 10:00 AM through 2:00 PM. C'mon over and say hello, let me show you what we're doing with state-of-the-art security, fire protection and home automation.

Going Social In 2012

I think customer service is very important. I want everyone I work with to be pleased with systems I've set-up for them and I want to hear from them with any questions or referrals. I typically tell my clients that they can call me at any time and I mean it. My mother wanted me to be a doctor (obviously, I passed) but I want my phone to ring as if I'm a pediatrician! If my phone's not ringing, I'm not happy.

This month I'm going to try something a little different to boost the volume of calls. I'm currently in discussions with groupon.com, the web-based marketing company, to offer deep discounts on a mass scale.

First up is a great deal on our ADT Safewatch Quickconnect. About half of all ADT clients are protected by this product. This is a budget-priced system, $99 and includes CPU, 2 wireless door contacts, 1 wireless motion sensor, 1 keyfob remote control and installation (monitoring is $42.99 per month). The groupon.com deal: $49 & $37.99 per month!

Can't wait to see it on groupon.com? Call me and tell me you want the groupon offer and it's yours. The catch? It's this week only.
