Integrators Rank Low in Consumer Trust Study as Buying Source

October 13, 2015

Back in 2011, CE Pro reported how a new consumer survey conducted on behalf of the Electronic Security Association (ESA) revealed custom electronics integrators were the No. 3 choice of contractors to install smart home equipment.

Well, a new survey is out and the news is a bit worse. When asked to name where they would trust to buy (not necessarily install) smart home products, integrators are No. 6. According to data from Parks Associates, among U.S. broadband households “Service Contractors” (which is the only category that remotely equates to a custom electronics professional) are the sixth most trusted type of contractor that consumers want to buy smart home products from, with only about half of consumers saying the “trust” or “highly trust” integrators asa buying source.

From the article "Integrators Rank Low in Consumer Trust Study as Buying Source" by Jason Knott.
