Millions of $$ in New Business for Crestron Dealers

Crestron "Cash for Trash" trade-in program sparks tremendous demand for digital upgrades; drives new sales

Millions of dollars in new business has been generated for Crestron dealers in just a few short months. The Crestron "Cash for Trash" program allows dealers to trade-in old analog video distribution systems for a significant credit toward a brand new, state-of-the-art Crestron Digital Media 8G+ ™ system. There won't be a better time than today to upgrade those legacy systems. This program won't last forever.

"Upgrading to digital with Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+ is painless, quick and easy," says Sean Goldstein, Crestron VP of Marketing. "You can use existing wiring, so you don't have to break open walls. You literally just swap out the hardware. Now, with our trade-in program, we're even paying you to do it. There's no other product or program like this anywhere."

Today, digital HD audio and video is the standard in homes, boardrooms and classrooms. Converting legacy analog systems to digital is as simple as swapping out your existing PVID, QM or any other brand products with Crestron DigitalMedia 8G+. There are no new wires to pull or connectors to terminate and you're instantly in the digital world. It doesn't get any easier than that.

With big cash trade-in incentives still available, upgrading to digital will never be more affordable. Take advantage of these generous cash rebates while they last.
