Monitronics Announces Exclusive Benefits for AARP Members

Monitronics announced a new relationship with AARP, a nonprofit, nonpartisan, social welfare organization with a membership of nearly 38 million people. The relationship names the company as the exclusive AARP-branded provider for professionally installed residential security monitoring.

“AARP is one of the most well-known, respected non-profit groups in the U.S., providing valuable resources to millions of people 50 and up,” said Jeff Gardner, Monitronics President and CEO. “We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with them to provide the very best security to their valued members.”

Those 50 and over are among the fastest growing population world-wide. By 2020, they will account for over 35 percent of people in the United States, and the population is expected to more than double in the next 35 years. “This relationship allows Monitronics the opportunity to provide AARP members with special offers and discounts that will help deliver safety and peace of mind,” said Gardner.

“Not only does this collaboration help us to serve an important group of people, but it will give our Authorized Dealers the opportunity to offer competitive discounts to a wider pool of potential clients.”  

The relationship will launch in July, providing new customers with exclusive discounts and special offers.
