Security Partners and WAVE Electronics Announce Collaborative Rebate

Security Partners and WAVE Electronics announced the introduction of the “4-Star Program,” a collaborative rebate program between the two companies that gives security dealers a profit advantage for products purchased from WAVE Electronics with monitoring services from Security Partners.

“We are always looking to develop long-term strategic relationships with companies who share our focus of equipping dealers with the best products and services on the market,” explained Michael Bodnar, president of Security Partners. “The leadership team at Wave Electronics has demonstrated its commitment to the security market, and clearly, the company has the vision, marketing expertise and national presence to ensure the long-term success of our 4-Star program.  Together, we will deliver the right products and services to enhance our dealers’ bottom line.”

The 4-Star Program features the Linear 2GIG security panel, providing the latest in interactive features that are in great demand from today’s technology-focused consumers.  Dealers participating in the 4-Star program will receive rebates for each new 2GIG panel or 2GIG kit purchased from WAVE Electronics and activated at any one of Security Partners’ three national monitoring centers. 

Mark Fukuda, president & COO of WAVE Electronics, said that he is pleased the company could partner with Security Partners, which has a stellar reputation in the industry, for the roll-out of a program designed to enhance the dealers’ bottom line. Fukuda said he looks forward to packaging more products and services from other companies to create even more value-added resources for the dealers.

“Security Partners and WAVE Electronics are focused on creating new and exciting opportunities for our dealers,” he said. “By coming together to offer this program – and to continue to find ways to expand and enhance it – we are securing new ways in which to help our dealers succeed.”
