WHERE EA800-IP USERS FIND WINLAND
18
Need to improve marketing and distribution:
“It was hard to find Winland on the Internet. We
bought a different product first, then when that fell
apart, we searched again and found Winland.”
“I did extensive research on the Internet but did not
hear about Winland until my security company brought
them to my attention.”
Common reasons for starting a product search:
•  Recent product loss
   “We had two refrigerators die on us recently and we
   lost more than $100,000 of drugs.”
•  Quality/Logging requirements
   “We have a quality department, they came to us and
   asked if we could log our temperatures.”
•  Looking for “peace of mind”
   “Look - we’re closed over the weekend. We’ve lost
   product over the weekend before and I just didn’t
   want to worry about it any more.”
