US survey explores service attach rate in smart home devices

A new white paper, from Parks Associates in partnership with Cardinal Peak, called, Consumer IoT Product Development: Managing Costs, Optimizing Revenues, offers companies a business-planning blueprint to evaluate how a consumer IoT solution will perform across its lifetime.

“Smart home providers employ various strategies to generate value and reach profitability,” said Jennifer Kent, Vice President, Research, Parks Associates. “This involves looking beyond the initial sale to produce long-term revenue streams through subscriptions, cross-selling and upselling, and multi-sided value propositions that leverage the value of the data and benefit multiple stakeholders.”

“As companies seek long-term value and revenue from smart home devices, they must weigh the advantages and risks associated with their development strategies, and benefits offered by different types of partners,” Kent said. “Each strategic approach offers unique benefits and challenges, and understanding these is critical to building a sustainable business model.”
