Anti-theft gadget Companies devise aggressive
sales strategy
Source
Economic Times
Details
HYDERABAD: It’s alarms for burglars as households get gadget-savvy and security
systems’ companies use aggressive sales strategies and bundled services to get
in homes. Devices like alarms, motion sensors and video surveillance are making
inroads as more and more households don’t want to take a chance.
Incidents like the 9/11 bombings and increased threat perceptions among
urban households are throwing open a vista of opportunities for electronic
security companies. “A few years ago, the market was growing at only 4% or so.
Now it is much faster. This surely means that people are becoming more aware
and want electronic security,” Zicom CEO Santonu Choudhury told ET.
Zicom has taken to the retail sales strategy to allow for walk-in
purchases and servicing. “Retailing makes absolute sense. They believe walk-in
will increase awareness and break the myth that electronic security is
expensive," he said. “They do this by providing basic security system
packages at a low price," he added.
"Bundling of security systems with greenfield infrastructure
projects is another way of selling security systems. They are already fitted
into tenements and the occupant doesn't have to plan or purchase his
security," says security expert Captain Raghuram.
"This is the best way to go forward in making people aware of the
need for security and obviate its use," says DATS India country head VV
Sriraman.
The market for consumer security systems is currently in the range of Rs
250 crore to Rs 300 crore and is expected to grow at over 30% a year. The
market is expected to touch Rs 700 crore in two to three years. According to
industry sources, there are over 50 million urban households, representing a
huge potential market.
"It may be too early to actually take up retail selling. The best
way to sell now is through bundling," says Mr Sriraman.
Zicom's Mr Choudhury, however, says, "Many people live in already
constructed homes. They need security as well." With basic security systems
like burglar alarms, video phones priced as low as Rs 6,500, affordability
would not be a major issue.
"The consumer segment they are talking about is still 'latent' and
will take a lot of effort to break into," says security expert Captain
Raghuram. "So far, only upper class households took to electronic
security. The market they are talking about is the average Indian household
that is not sensitised to need for such security," he adds. Also, the
average middle class household is burgled on an average only once in a
lifetime.
