Due to the diminishing hardware margins, resellers are finding accessories like OmniMounts will help them improve profit margins, as customers always need extras when they purchase hardware. According to Glen Vartiainen, brand Manger, Convoy, these product differ from what the hardware brand may offer when a customer has purchased one of their products.

"Obviously products like the OmniMount systems, batteries and cables will help to improve profit margins for resellers, especially as hardware margins diminish each year, " he said. "OmniMounts are intuitive mounting accessories, resellers can sell a one of these products to a customer and explain the solution in the store so the consumer won't be dissatisfied when they get home Also because the range is easily installable resellers spend less time in a consumer's house, which means they can spend more time selling."
