CEDIA 2008: Zip Express Installation Continues Growth Of Retail And Installation Partners, Announces Nationwide ‘Open Call’ For Additional Certified Installers

Zip Express calls for 25 percent increase in certified installers to meet rising demands from recent growth

September 1, 2008

Zip Express Installation, the first next-day installation service for electronics retailers and consumers, announces an “open call” for CE-certified installers at CEDIA 2008. After the recent announcement of its partnership with www.Target.com, Zip Express is looking to grow its installer base by 25 percent to accommodate another three large retail contracts that will be announced in the fourth quarter of 2008. Zip Express provides and manages an in-house installation infrastructure for electronics retailers and offers consumers the first next-day installation appointment option for major home electronic purchases made in-store or online. This results in decreased return rates and attractive margins for consumer electronics retailers and the ability for consumers to schedule next-day installation on the hour, either in-store at checkout or by simply scheduling the appointment online at www.zipinstallation.com. “CEDIA is the perfect stage for us to announce our growth plans and find installers of the caliber needed to further enhance our already strong network of installers nationwide,” said Chris Mauzy, President and CEO of Zip Express. “By purchasing the excess time of CE-certified installers, Zip Express is able to improve the efficiency levels of these extremely qualified installers who are at the core of our business.” In addition to being the first nationwide installation service to offer next-day installation appointments at a specific hour, Zip Express installers take all trash away from the job and train each customer on how the new setup works in the home. Services include tabletop TV setup, wall and over-the-fireplace TV mounting, home theater setup, computer and digital camera networking, furniture assembly and electronics recycling. All installation work done by Zip’s more than 16,000 CE certified installers also comes with a one-year warranty. Zip Express Installation is currently securing additional retail partners and announcements the next partnerships are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2008. Installation services start at $129.95 and can be scheduled directly online at www.zipinstallation.com
