"How
lucrative is the safety business? Consider this:
Parents
spend more than $1 billion annually on products
to safeguard their children.
Child
safety products have become one of the fastest
growing industries in the market.
With
more dual income families than ever, parents are
increasingly putting those discretionary dollars
to use - on their children.
Ever-increasing
knowledge and awareness of safety issues are now
prompting parents to become more adamant about
the well-being of their children than at any other
time in history."
Safe
& Sound representative |
Safety
and security are two concepts that will never go out
of style, especially for homeowners. With that said,
it's easy to see why owning a home safety franchise
just about guarantees a steady stream of revenue.
Noted
below of some of the more popular Home Safety Franchises.
