Dennis Sage Home Entertainment, Inc., Wins First
Prize in Parks Associates’ Drawing
Parks Associates announced
today that installing dealer Dennis Sage Home Entertainment, Inc., has won
the $500 sweepstakes held for participants in the most recent survey of its
Installing Dealer ePanel. The survey, conducted in the third quarter
of 2002, found that 59% of dealers currently not installing “no-new-wires”
networks plan to offer this product category in the near future.
“The findings from this survey corroborate results
we’ve collected from our broad-based household research,” said
Tricia Parks,
President of Parks Associates. “Home networking is the logical next step
among multiple-PC households, and installing dealers see opportunities to
complement their existing offerings with ‘no-new-wire’ alternatives for
their customers.”
“I support Parks Associates’ research of our industry,”
said Dennis Sage, founder of Dennis Sage Home Entertainment, Inc. “I feel it
helps promote our interests while helping me to keep informed about the
opinions of my peers from across the country.”
Dennis Sage Home Entertainment, founded in Phoenix,
Arizona, in 1995, specializes in the design, engineering, integration, and
installation of electronic systems in residential and commercial
environments. The firm conducts the majority of its business through 30
local builders in the Phoenix area. “Our forte is the ability to adjust our
business to the needs of home builders,” Dennis Sage said. “Every builder we
work with has a different way of handling options for customers, billing
procedures, project scheduling, etc. All forty of our employees are able to
adjust very quickly to the ways each of the builders wants to do business.
So we’re a very versatile, energetic company.”
“Home Entertainment, Inc., is the type of high-volume
installing dealer many of our clients want to understand better,” said
Bill Ablondi,
ePanel Program Director. “They’re typically working on 30 houses per
day in one stage or another of project completion. They finish more than
5,000 projects annually and are in one of the hottest housing markets in the
country, Phoenix, Arizona, with nearly 39,000 housing permits issued in
2002, up 8% from 2001.”
In order to grow its business, Dennis Sage Home
Entertainment, like dealers across the country, is constantly evaluating
additions for its product portfolio. “No-new-wires” networking topped the
list in the
ePanel’s mid-2002 survey as the product category most dealers are
planning to add to their current offerings. In addition, Sage is planning to
expand his lighting and electrical offerings to provide more comprehensive
services to builders.
Parks Associates’
Installing Dealer ePanel is comprised of principals from installing
dealerships across the U.S. who have agreed to participate in periodic

the rationale behind their decisions. In addition to product-related
research, Parks Associates profiles participating dealers with the goal of
understanding how their business models are changing.

his knowledge of builders with a passion for music to work for an installing
