Aiphone Intercom Pages Improved (I Hope!)

For the past seven years we have sold Aiphone intercom products on our website.  Aiphone manufactures a wide variety of high quality audio and video intercoms.  Since day one we have struggled with presenting these products in a way that is clear and useful for our customers.  Our first design of  the Aiphone pages, way back in the day, was totally wrong and we scrapped it after a very short time.  These pages have been touched up so many times you'd think Joan Rivers was in charge of our Aiphone web design.

I am happy to say we think we have finally created Aiphone menu pages that are clear and concise, with the information our customers need to find the right system.  What we did was add new information to the right of each model number and description.  This information is a set of numbers that will tell you the maximum amount of speakers or stations each model will accommodate.  If you have any suggestions on how to make these pages more user friendly, don't tell me...just kidding...email me...I'm open to suggestions.  renee@centralvacuumstores.com

Aiphone Intercom QuickSpec Does the Thinking for You

Our son is going to China next week to study for the summer.  The school sent him a list of everything he needs for the trip. Believe it or not, toilet paper was on the list!  I really do appreciate having the specifics spelled out for us, because otherwise, we would have to do the research to find out what he needed to bring.  Fortunately, Georgia Tech did the research and all we have to do is buy the necessary items... and I do think toilet paper is a necessary item.

Wouldn't you love it if someone did all the Aiphone research and just told you what you needed for your system?  We are going to let you in on a little secret.  Aiphone has a wonderful tool on their website called QuikSpec.  Regardless of the size of your project, QuickSpec will ask you questions and determine exactly what components you need.  If you need a system for a home, school, multi unit apartment building, or anything in between, QuikSpec will tell you exactly what you need.  Our own staff of experts uses QuickSpec to help customers design systems.  Here's the link to QuikSpec.  Once you have a list of components, give us a call and we can help you with your order.  Or, go ahead and call us first at 1-800-221-8227 and we will walk through QuikSpec with you.
