Las Vegas (January 4, 2007) – InstallerNet plans to expand its consumer electronics installation services to include two new categories, Computer related and SmartHome installations. The company intends to announce ten new InstallCards for their retail and manufacturer clients to drive new products sales in these categories.
The InstallCard represents pre-paid installation services and is sold by retail and etail clients, like any other product accessory. Every InstallCard has a unique PIN number that will identify the retailer and product offering. Customers are able to schedule installation appointments at their convenience online through the company’s website (www.installcard.com). InstallerNet offers manufacturers a private-label program to provide InstallCards along with their products, representing an installer-in-every-box. With this program, do-it-for-me customers have the option to activate the InstallCard if they need professional installation. This program has already proven to reduce product returns while driving incremental sales. The installation services are offered through InstallerNet’s integration with OnForce technology, which provides access to a marketplace of more than 10,000 IT service providers.
Tony Frangiosa, InstallerNet’s President & CEO, indicated “we are excited about expanding our installation service offerings and having OnForce as an integration partner, together we represent the largest consumer electronics installer network in the country.”
Powering the InstallCard is InstallerNet’s proprietary Installation Control Engine (ICE) technology that matches the right installer for every job, along with schedule optimization provided by ServicePower’s field service solutions. InstallerNet’s ICE technology will be integrated with OnForce’s national community of service professionals to identify highly qualified installers.
“The combination of InstallerNet and OnForce delivers a seamless installation experience for end users and an innovative way for InstallerNet’s clients to increase product sales” said OnForce President and CEO Peter Cannone.
