Techno Line:Market forces are aligning to make 2008 the year of HDTV!
Because of the weakness in the US economy, prices of flat panel HD televisions are dropping sharply.
This, combined with the rising price of gasoline, is resulting in more and more consumers turning to home entertainment systems. Even the price of popcorn is factoring into the picture! Demand for corn-based ethanol fuel has resulted in corn prices tripling. With popcorn and concession sales accounting for almost 50% of the profits at movie theatres, many anticipate the cost of going out to the movies could soon rise drastically as well.
All of these market forces point in one direction. The home entertainment market is on a major upswing.
If you aren’t already offering your customers entertainment systems as part of your total package, you are missing some potential huge profits!City Wireless can help you maximize your profits, without any extra effort on your part. We can handle all of your customer’s entertainment needs, from pre-wiring for entertainment systems, to retailing, installing, and servicing those systems. Our pre-wire packages include television wiring, alarm, stereo, etc, while entertainment choices range from flat panel HD televisions to stereos, speakers, and everything in between.
Your customers will enjoy the convenience of making one visit to our retail location on Macleod Trail to plan and order all their entertainment needs. You can enjoy the increased profits you will make on their purchases, without having to worry about handling all the details.
DECREASES IN PRICE WILL SOON CAUSE DEMAND TO SOAR!
