The Smart Home Calls for Smart Retailing

Awareness and adoption of smart home products by everyday consumers has finally reached mass-market acceptance.

Brick-and-mortar retailers will play an important and profitable new role in this exploding sector. A solid omnichannel game plan has major advantages toward the smart home customer experience that can't be matched by pure e-commerce.
