Provident has been recognized as a finalist for a SAMMY award for ‘Installer of the Year’ as well as in three other categories. Winners will be announced March 31st in Las Vegas.
The SAMMY awards are hosted by Security Sales & Integration Magazine and recognize the best of marketing & operations in the North American security industry. This is the first year of the ‘Installer of the Year’ category and we are very proud to be recognized as one of three finalists for the award.
The awards are open to all security companies in Canada and the United States.
In addition to ‘Installer of the Year’, Provident has been named a finalist in three other SAMMY award categories: Best Overall Integrated Marketing, Best Broadcast Advertisement & Best Display Advertisement (both of which are from our ‘Switching to Provident is Easy‘ program).
In the Best Overall Integrated Marketing category, Provident is a finalist alongside Stanley Convergent Security Systems as well as Smith & Wesson (yes, that Smith & Wesson).
Provident has been a SAMMY finalist seven times in the past 7 years, and has won twice. Last year, Provident won the SAMMY for Best Website.
The winners will be announced on March 31st, 2009 in Las Vegas the night before the ISC West security show.
