alarm sales

Has any one else noticed the drop off in alarm sales and installations in the last year.

We still see breakins, not they will put in a new deck but not an alarm.  Yes, most newer car come with alarms, and alarms haven't changed in years, but their must be other reasons, or is it just us?

I'm far away from you but, during the first quarter or so of the year things were really slow, but sales have really  picked up after that period, with the economy worsening and the cost of living on the rise we see more cars being broken in to and being stolen, so hence people are responding by beefing their car security, seeing people heartbroken about their vandalised cars is sad yes, but if you're looking at it from the view of an installer struggling to make ends meet, well the rest is understood.................................

On that point of most new gen cars coming with alarms, that's also a major installer problem, it's been quite a while the new gen toyota corolla, lancer, m3 and m6 along with others i can't quite recall have been released and haven't touched them as yet! why, they have either factory or dealer fitted systems that the customers trust to be better that our aftermarket systems!

A decline in sales in this industry forced me into another job....

My "days off" are spent doing what I love....but it stopped paying my bills a long time ago!
