Outdoor Lighting Increases Home Safety and Security

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 24, 2008

Local police enforcement and security experts nationwide agree that outdoor lighting is proving to be increasingly more important as a deterrent to crime as burglaries and break ins are on the rise in some communities. Without outdoor lighting, dark houses are a signal that no one is home, and dark exteriors may create opportunities for prowlers to hide.

To demonstrate the protection and effectiveness of professional outdoor lighting strategically placed around the home and landscape, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives is now offering free at-home security lighting demonstrations.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives security lighting professionals will set up a temporary installation of their eco-friendly low voltage outdoor lighting system at no charge. To schedule your free outdoor lighting security preview, call toll-free 1-800-447-1112, or visit OutdoorLights.com.

Well-placed outdoor lights create a sense of activity, serenity and calm, deterring intruders, while eliminating dark and scary spaces around the home. And for those homes which use exterior video surveillance security systems, outdoor lighting enhances their impact and effectiveness by better illuminating protected areas.

To help create that “lived in” look, even when no one is at home, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives also offers automatic timing to activate both outdoor lighting and as well as interior lights. Lighting Control Automation from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives features a permanent memory to turn on outdoor lights automatically at dusk, and off at dawn, without ever needing to be adjusted.

For more information on home security and safety outdoor lighting, contact Outdoor Lighting Perspectives at 1-800-447-1112, or visit OutdoorLights.com.

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) March 26, 2009

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives (OLP), a leader in residential outdoor lighting design and systems, has launched the Preferred Referral Partnership Program designed to grow alliances and sales on behalf of its franchisees worldwide. Designed with a turn-key approach, the program offers an easy business opportunity for potential trade partners within a variety of home-related industries.

“The OLP Preferred Referral Partnership Program allows our franchisees to build on existing relationships for business referrals while utilizing our corporate franchise support team to help take things to the next level,” said Larry Spada, vice president of marketing for Outdoor Living brands, the parent company of OLP. “The program is ideal for a wide array of trade contacts, including landscapers, contractors, casual furniture retailers and others.”

OLP has hired two Business Relationship Managers – Karin Harrison and Jane Walker – to oversee the program. Harrison and Walker will work with franchisees in each territory to create a customized approach for outreach to prospective trade referral partners on a local level.

The Preferred Referral Partnership Program begins with the building of a contact database comprised of existing and potential contacts as identified by OLP franchisees. Once the database is in place, Harrison and Walker collaborate with franchisees to begin outreach to each prospect via phone, mail and e-mail to eventually convert them to official referral partner status.

To support the program, OLP also has developed a Preferred Referral Partner kit which equips the trade alliance partner with a selling guide and materials that provide an overview of OLP’s product and service offerings. Trade partners are asked to distribute referral brochures offering a complimentary OLP lighting preview to their existing customer base. Additionally, OLP franchisees will extend co-marketing opportunities to their trade partners.

“We designed this program so that it would be easy for everyone involved – easy for OLP secure trade partners, easy for trade partners to promote OLP and easy for the partnership to eventually turn into a sale, ultimately benefitting everyone involved,” Spada said. “We are excited to provide this innovative franchise support program to our franchisees and help them cultivate sales opportunities throughout the year, building awareness for the OLP brand.”
