PowerCakes Blogger Giveaway - How Do You Stay Safe?

Many college students have been on campus for about a month, but the Red Zone is still in effect. The Red Zone is what law enforcement refers to as September and October and it's when the most accidents, injuries and attacks happen on college campuses. SABRE and our partners are continuing to remind everyone to make their personal safety a priority.

Self-Defense Expert and SABRE partner Jennifer Cassetta took the message to the PowerCakes Blog this weekend. She shares her five most important tips for Back to School Safety - plus, a SABRE product giveaway! Take a look at some of her tips here, but head over the PowerCakes blog to learn more tips!

#1: Check Your Posture -  How you stand, walk, and carry yourself can deter a potential attacker or make you a walking target. Keep your shoulders back and your head and eyes up as you walk around in public to convey confidence to others.

#2: Get Off Your Phone - Contrary to the comforting aspect some may find with texting or talking to people on the phone as you're out and about, put your phone down and don't be distracted! Be engaged with your surroundings, not your voicemails or Instagram feed. 

#3: Keep Your Home Away From Home Safe - Whether you live in a one-room dorm or share an apartment with friends, it's important to make your home your safe haven. SABRE's Dorm/Apartment Kit come with three alarms that can keep you and your belongings safe by sounding sirens heard up to 300 feet away if an intruder tries to break in.

Americans Want Secure Homes Without the High Cost

According to a survey conducted by national hardware store Lowe's, most Americans want to invest in their home's security - they just don't want to spend a lot of money to make that happen.

The Lowe's 2014 Smart Home Survey collected feedback from 2,000 U.S. adults in July.

Here are some of the most important findings we've identified below:

• 52% say having a smart home is at least somewhat important, but more than 70% of smart phone users would like to control these security functions without getting out of bed.
• In terms of purchasing decisions, 56% say cost is the number one deciding factor, followed by 13% concerned with how easy it is to use, and 11% concerned with security. 
• For actual functions, security is the most sought after application with 62% of those surveyed agreeing. 35% wanted something convenient and disasters, like flood and dire protection being important for 29% of those surveyed. 
• 50% of people prefer DIY solutions without a monthly fee, which is twice as many as those who say they'd prefer a professionally monitored system with a service fee (21%.)

The results of this survey show consumers are interested in effective, affordable, and easy to set-up products - the SABRE Home Series meets all of these requirements!
