Parrot USA Launches Certified Installer Program

Parrot USA Launches Certified Installer Program to Support Independent 12-Volt Retailers

Called the Certified Installer Program, the plan will provide authorized Parrot retailers a
variety of selling tools, installation support, POS materials and promotion programs in return for ensuring their sales and installer teams are up to speed on Parrot products.

“While the current selling environment is challenging, we believe 12-volt installers have a
great opportunity selling Parrot car kits because the market is demanding them,” says David Wenning, senior vice president, sales and marketing.
“More and more states are passing hands-free laws, and more new vehicles are promoting Bluetooth hands-free solutions. These two factors have dramatically increased consumer awareness of hands-free – and there’s a great opportunity for increased sales of car kits if they are properly presented, sold and installed. Some of our 12-volt customers are installing dozens of car kits a week and there’s no reason many more of them can’t be achieving the same results with a little help.”

Parrot DS1120 wireless hi-fi speaker system
“These speakers carry the same list price ($280) as the Parrot Boombox, a larger single-housing unit that offers more bass. However, the DS1120 is more stylish-looking and you can actually separate the speakers (though, as noted, each one has to be plugged in).”
