SECTOR INSIGHT

KUBU LAUNCHES PRO INSTALLER INITIATIVE

» KUBU , THE SMARTsensor for doors and windows has announced the launch of their new Pro Installer initiative , as the brand looks to engage in the wider and opportunistic smart home market .
Kubu Pro Installers will benefit from a wide range of updated marketing and point of sale materials for showrooms , along with a free listing at the newly re-vamped website at kubu-home . com . This new initiative will also see the provision of Kubu Kits at trade prices which will help open up further opportunities for installers .
Once purchased , the Kubu Kits can be sold with a mark-up , while some other businesses are already using it as a means to close a bigger deal . With
the new window sensor just a matter of months away , sales of Kubu equipped door and windows will form part of the wider smart home market , as a complete and integrated solution including bi-folding , French and patio doors .
All the necessary support and warranty is provided
directly to the homeowner by Kubu , but with activation just a matter of minutes , the process is both quick and simple . There ’ s also the reassurance of the fact that Kubu has been designed , tested and manufactured in-house by Avantis Hardware and this also includes all
the software and firmware development .
Lauren Bromley , head of brand for Kubu commented : “ The Pro Installer initiative is free to partners and provides considerable sales opportunities for installers . The statistics clearly show that consumers are consuming smart-tech in their droves and the success of Amazon ’ s Ring and Google Nest bear testament to this .
“ Find yourself a Kubu smartsensor manufacturer today and enjoy the considerable benefits of this initiative tomorrow . Smart-sensors could well revolutionise the window and door sector in the same way as it ’ s influencing the markets for central heating systems and home security .”
