The new year brings some of TV’s biggest events with it. From awards season to the big game and everything in between, everyone is going to be looking to make sure their home theater is up to date.
Whether your customers are looking to upgrade a portion of their home entertainment system or give it a complete overhaul, we’ve got the home theater solutions you need to get them exactly what they want.
Let’s tune in and take a look at some of the most popular—and important—home theater solutions for this time of year.
The Big Game
The big game is an ideal opportunity to make some serious after-holiday profits. Your customers will be entertaining a rowdy house full of the football faithful and Petra has the products you need to get them prepared. Make the game-winning play by taking advantage of football mania and stocking these essential entertaining products for an even more gainful start to this year.
Tailgating at Home
Customers can have the tailgate experience at home by grilling their favorite fare. Whether it’s burgers and brats or steak and ribs, Petra has a diverse selection of grills and smoker accessories to tackle the pregame protein frenzy.
Some grills/smokers even double as a smoker and grill and feature plenty of space to feed an entire team of football. Do your customers already have a grill or smoker? Maybe they want to try out a new rib recipe and need a non-stick rib rack to get started or are interested in making the perfect burger!
Whether they’re cooking on a new or existing grill, you can also recommend protecting their investment with a grill cover.
Watching the Action
The centerpiece of any home theater is, without question, the screen. To catch all the action, bigger is better, and Petra offers a wide variety of TVs and TV accessories to meet your customers’ viewing demands.
Perhaps a TV screen isn’t quite large enough to accommodate a large group. In this case, a projector is a compact, yet highly efficient solution to suggest to your most rabid fans. Manufacturers such as Pyle and RCA constantly release new models with ever-expanding features, many of which connect to a TV and project larger-than-life images that dwarf the capabilities of most TVs. Of course, to complement this option, a good projector screen can bring near silver screen experiences to any living room or outdoor viewing area.
Awards Season and Hollywood’s Biggest Night
Not too long after the big game comes Hollywood’s big night. But even before then, there’s a host of other award shows people are eager to see—music, TV, and more get their nights before the real red carpet rolls out.
While the big award show can’t begin to compete with football, all award shows combined bring in over 75 million viewers. So, what can you do to liven up their watch parties?
Spice it up by offering Blu-ray and DVD players or streaming devices so that customers can catch up on all of those award-winning TV shows and films.
Sweeping the Competition
February is also a “sweep” month.
What is sweeps week?
“Each year Nielsen processes approximately 2 million paper diaries from households across the country for the months of November, February, May and July — also known as the ‘sweeps’ rating periods” (Nielson). While not nearly as well known or raking in as many participants as other events in February, sweeps—combined with the above events—add to the grand total of people tuning in to their TV sets during this monumental month.
What can you do to add the cherry on top of the TV cake?
How about upgraded home audio equipment?
When we talk about audio as an add-on for a television, we’re basically talking about two things: soundbars and surround sound systems. After all, being able to hear that acceptance speech is crucial to any awards show.
Soundbars
Soundbars pick up where HDTVs leave off in the sound department. Because HDTVs are so thin, they lack the physical depth to include full-size speakers, making a soundbar the perfect solution for anemic television speakers. They add much better audio capability without taking up a lot of space or needing a lot of setup.
Surround Sound
On the other hand, a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound speaker system is designed to give a full home theater experience but requires a more in-depth installation. It’s impossible to get true surround sound out of a soundbar due to the physical constraints of having all the speakers in one location.
A system like this allows a user to set up their system however they would like and gives greater flexibility; it also gives you a chance to sell an install for those who don’t want to worry about running speaker wire themselves. Customers who are willing to spend more will want to give this option a go.
So, from soundbars to home theater speaker systems, Petra has the audio options your customers need for TV’s biggest season.
