Happy New Year!

New Year’s Greetings from ATP Alarms

The New Year. Time for celebration and cheer for another year around the sun. Time also for resolutions and promises to ourselves and others. Time for commitments to making a change and to doing better.

Resolutions for the new year can be personal or business related. Personal commitments to self are generally to get healthy, exercise more, eat right. Business related resolutions are often to improve profits, expand offerings or increase customer satisfaction. Then there are promises to family that we make at the start of the year – to be more engaging, have more family time. It doesn’t matter what the resolution, but it’s the time for them. But do we ever resolve to improve our safety and security ?

Your 2017 New Year’s Resolutions List
We look to start the year off on the right foot. In so doing we should make our New Year’s resolutions to protect our family and friends. This is one resolution which we wholeheartedly support. After all, we are in the business of security. And we know it is often impossible to predict which safety and security threat or vulnerability will affect us on a daily basis much less in 2017. The good news is that we can prepare for them. Show your family that you love them and care for them in 2017.
