The smart-home market is one of the fastest growing markets worldwide. It was valued at US$79.1-billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $313.9-billion by 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 25.3%, according to Mordor Intelligence.
When it comes to implementing a smart-home business strategy, some of the biggest challenges for operators have to do with investing in the right go-to-market business model. Here are two pointers to help identify the right vendor partner and maximise the take-rate of your smart-home solution, putting you on a quicker path to growing revenues:
- Alleviate the upfront costs for consumers with ready-made product bundles and equipment leasing or subsidies. Be transparent with your pricing, distinguishing hardware pricing from service costs. Consider a tiered pricing scale with the largest discounts reserved for customers willing to accept longer contract terms or large-scale deployments. Affordable and flexible device financing options makes smart-home solutions more widely accessible.
- Adopt a flexible smart-home solution that supports a broad range of devices.
