July 2024 Newsletter
We all likely agree and understand that small businesses are the backbone of our community. They represent and feed our local economy, while often knowing many of the local challenges our neighbors and family experience daily. In fact, and I don't care who you are, it's always a feel-good moment when a company representative knows your name and you may even know theirs. The use of e-commerce and on-line communications keep things simple for many of our everyday needs, but we also understand the personal factor goes out the window. When it comes to a representative entering your home or business, I expect it's a much more comfortable interaction when you know them and not have to deal with different folks each time. This should not be considered a luxury.
Is cost a factor? Of course, and some might argue national providers get materials for less, and thus will pass the savings along. Although that would be awesome, most often those cost savings and more will get lost in overhead and higher profit margin expectations. On the labor side of things, talented and skilled trade employees will not choose to stay employed with any company if not compensated and treated accordingly, regardless of it being a large corporation or a small business... so no savings there either.
Knowing the business is sound and will be around in the years to come is a valid consideration. This part of decision making can easily be weighed out based on past longevity and a proven track record with overcoming obstacles that all businesses experience over time. Reviews are clearly one of the easiest ways to learn about the culture of a company and their ability to work through any hiccups that may arise.
So why use All Safe Technologies? Here's why... We are not a HUGE company that has 20 offices, 50 trucks and 100 billboards. We are a small business that operates on a lean profit margin, utilizing a knowledgeable and talented team of individuals that all care about what they do each day. We don't spend a ton of money on marketing and manage our finances properly. It's simple: less overhead equates to better prices for our customers. We continue to challenge ourselves in finding that sweet spot between maintaining a fair price for our customers and minimizing increased costs.
Being in business for almost 25 years has allowed us the privilege to build relationships with a distribution and manufacturing partner channel. They work closely with us on product costs and help coordinate the necessary training. Many of our competitors will change product offerings based on the least expensive flavor of the day without the proper training or knowledge of the sustainability of that solution. Our management team is crystal clear in knowing that our people are our greatest asset and the makeup of our extended family. We continue to invest in training to ensure our sales and technical teams are ready to meet your demands in the technologies of the fast-paced security, life safety and automation sectors.
We pride ourselves on providing a personal touch and always enjoy meeting our customers, at either our place of business in Gulfport or at your home or business. We are human and make mistakes from time to time. When it occurs, we learn from them and will always swiftly correct it. No red tape or need to go up an endless ladder of people to make it right.
As mentioned earlier, we don't spend a ton of money on marketing. We solely rely on our customers' referrals and reviews. If you haven't already, please take a moment and provide us with your review.
I thank you in advance, as our growth relies on your feedback and the quality of the services we provide. Please also give us a call if you know of any friends, neighbors or relatives that have not yet invested in the security of their home or business. You will receive 3 months free monitoring for each of them who choose All Safe Technologies as their security solutions provider.
Thanks for doing business with this small business... it's appreciated more than you know!
Be Safe With All Safe.
Sincerely,
Alain Jamet, Vice President
