Simple Self Defense Products

Hello Everyone,
I hope all is well for you today. It is raining pretty hard at the moment up here in Maine. That has been the story for the last 7 days with the exception of a few hours of sun, what a tease lol.

Today I want to talk about value with everyone out there. Obviously the current economic situation is making it hard on all of us. Everyone dollar that comes out of our pocket has much more thought behind it than it used to. The problem with this is most people look at self defense products as something they just can’t afford right now. But it is a catch 22 because more people are choosing to pass on being protected with self defense products but at the same time the bad economy is causing the crime rates to rise. As an example, here in Maine our crime rate is low to begin with but over the last year it has gone up over 7%! Most of that rise was near the end of the year.

With more people out of work there are individuals that are turning to extreme options to get money. This could include robbery, home invasion, theft and much more. Crimes like this are putting us all at risk and with more people being more desperate than ever that risk is higher. That means it is more important to be protected today than it ever has been. That is why here at Protection Direct Security we want to make sure everyone is able to be protected without making their wallet hurt.

We pride ourselves on making sure our customers get the best service, best selection, at the BEST price. We spend a lot of time researching the competition to make sure that our prices give you a better value. All products we offer are less expensive than the same products found with our competitors. To give you an example of this let’s look at how the Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun is priced on three of the most well known self defense stores. I will list them below and if you want to see the prices for yourself just click on the name of the company and it will take you right to their product.

TBO-TECH

Current Price: $69.95

A1 Self Defense Products

Current Price: $69.95

AAA Safety First

Current Price: $69.95

As you can see the above sites all have the same product at the same price. Here at Protection Direct Security we also offer the same exact Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun with one difference…

We Sell It For $59.99!

You save 10 dollars on the same product with us. With the way the economy is right now every penny you can save helps and by shopping with us we make sure you have lots of those pennies left in your pocket.

Now we understand it is hard to be able to monitor every product on hundreds of sites so we take that into account as well. That is why we offer our 110% Low Price Guarantee. If you happen to find the same product for a lower price elsewhere we will match that price. But because you had to take the time to find it cheaper we will also slash another 10% off the cost so we will not only be matching the price but we will beat it by 10% GUARANTEED!

Personal protection should not be something that only the rich can afford. It is something that is very important for all of us to address. Buying a self defense product, like a stun gun, can be an investment in the future. It could potentially save you hundreds of dollars, bodily injury or even your life and those are things you don’t want to leave to chance.

I hope this post was able to demonstrate the value of Protection Direct and illustrate why we are one of the fastest growing self defense companies on the internet.

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and a successful week ahead.

Be Safe,

Barry

Hey Hey everyone, I hope all is well for you today. We had a bit of a cold night up here in Maine. When I went to bed at around midnight it was 34 outside and when I got up this morning at 7 it was 39. Yikes! I thought winter was over but apparently I was wrong. Good news is today is shaping up to be very nice, not a cloud in the sky so far. But enough with the weather report for today.

I was reading the local paper this morning and read an article that surprised me. Well it wasn’t a huge surprise since I had been expecting it but it is alarming none the less. Like I said, I live in Maine which is considered one of the safest states in the country. This article was talking about the rising crime rate in Maine. During 2008 Maine saw a jump of almost 1% in our overall crime. But what I thought was very disturbing was the fact rural crime was up almost 7% from 2007. That’s a pretty scary thing.

One point I have always tried to get a crossed was the fact that no matter where you live you are at risk of being a victim of a crime. It is a fact of life and there is no getting away from it. That doesn’t mean you have to install security bars on the windows and never go outside. It just means you want to take proactive steps to make sure you are protected.

There are many ways you are able to do this. For you home you can do a few simple things to make sure your home is protected. I always recommend taking a little time and walking around the outside of your home and pretend to be a burglar. Try and find all the different ways you can gain entry to your home. Let’s say you come to a window that is able to open easily, than you would want to take some steps to secure it. The best way to do this is to get a window jam. You can either buy one or make one yourself. If you make one yourself all you have to do is measure a piece of wood that is long enough to go from the top of the lower part of the window up to the top frame. Then you put it in place and it will make it almost impossible to open the window even if it is unlocked.

If you spend some time finding all the weak areas in your home security than you can make your home much safer without spending much money at all.

There are also many ways to keep yourself protected when you are out and about. There are things you can buy like stun guns or pepper spray. If you want to find out where to buy pepper spray just head over to our main page and you will find a great selection. If you want to find the best stun guns for sale we have you covered there too
But there is also ways you can do it without spending money. The best way to avoid being a victim of a crime, like a mugging, is to be very aware of your surroundings. If you are the type of person that does a lot of walking around or walks to work than pay attention to the areas you walk through. You will notice things you never did before like dark places where criminals can lurk.

You want to pay attention to locations that have no street lights. They tend to be a prime place for muggings to happen because it is easy for a criminal to hide in the shadows. Another thing to watch out for is area where there are not a lot of people such as parking lots or alleys. These are a hot spot for criminals to attack. If a criminal is planning on robbing someone they want to do it in a place where no one will notice. As an example if you are walking through the parking lot coming out of work or from shopping you want to pay attention to what the few people out there are doing. The people that are in parking lots are normally heading to their car or heading to the building. If you see someone just standing there not walking around you want to avoid that person. The key is to look for activity that doesn’t match the situation.

There are many other ways to stay safe and these are meant to serve as examples of what you can do. In upcoming posts I will be going into more detail on ways to do this. I hope this gives everyone and idea of things they should be doing to be safe.

I’ll leave it at that for today I have to get back to finishing off getting our new office set up.

Be Safe,

Barry

Hello everyone,

It’s been awhile since I have posted, it has been pretty crazy around here. We have been in the process of moving our office along with our house. We have decided to downsize our house for now and move to a larger office. We found a great 2 bedroom house for a wonderful price. It will save us a lot in the long run, the other place cost way too much to maintain. If you have ever moved before I’m sure you know the stress it can bring. Moving everything in the house went pretty good but we ran into problems with our office.

I figured it was a good idea to save some money by moving our servers and setting up our new network myself. That didn’t exactly go as planned. I ended up destroying our main server which resulted in a good amount of data lost. Good thing I keep a lot of backups. But this caused our phone systems to be down for an extended period of time due to the fact we use a VOIP system which relies on our network functioning properly. If anyone was unable to contact us during that time I apologize, it was 100% my mistake.

As my way of saying sorry I’m going to dramatically mark down the cost of our 775,000 volt Stun Master Stun Gun. We normally sell it for $79.99 and most of the other online self defense stores usually sell it for around $90.00 but for the next 7 days I’m going to make it available for $59.99. That is much cheaper than it normally is and to be blatantly honest that is a steal for that stun gun. Stun Master stun guns are some of the best stun guns for sale on the market today.

One of the highlights for these stun guns is the fact that is uses 4 high quality electrodes at the end of the gun instead of 2. This will give you the maximum benefit from the 775,000 volts of power this thing puts out. It is also made from a hardened plastic to ensure it is able to stand up to some abuse. Overall I would say this is one of my favorite stun guns that we offer. I am so confident in this stun gun that it is the one I bought for my mother when she moved to Florida.

Once again I would like to apologize to everyone that was not able to get a hold of us over the last week or so. If you’re looking to buy a stun gun than click here to see this stun master stun gun you won’t regret it.

Until Next Time,

Barry

Hello Everyone,

I hope all is well out there. It’s been very busy on our end. We have been doing a lot of rearranging of our overhead to ensure that we are able to weather the economy. They way it looks right now we are going to be able to keep all of our employees. At Protection Direct we are like a close family. We don’t work in a giant office building it is a relatively small office so we spend a lot of time with each other. This has caused all of us to become very close so I had to do everything in my power to make sure they all still have jobs. So that’s the business update for today.

Another thing I wanted to talk about today is the Mace Pepper Gun. The demand for them has gone down recently so I wanted to write about some of the great benefits of them. Many people see the Mace Pepper Gun and think it is something that they don’t need, they think it is almost gimmicky. But it is far from that.

The Mace Pepper Gun is a very unique item and takes a different angle at protecting yourself with pepper spray. For those of you that have never seen the Mace Pepper Spray Gun just click on the underlined text to check it out.

It is basically a plastic gun that holds a pressurized cartridge of pepper spray. It features a trigger just like any gun. The huge advantage of using it is the fact it is operated like a gun. When using a regular bottle of pepper spray it is similar to using a hair spray bottle (in form of course, I’m by no means comparing pepper spray to hair spray), some people find it a little difficult to aim at the attacker to get the perfect shot. With the Mace Pepper Spray Gun you simply aim at the attacker and pull the trigger. It is much easier to get that perfect shot.

Another huge benefit is the distance it is able to shoot. It has the ability to shoot a stream of pepper spray up to 25 feet which means you can keep a whole bunch of distance between you and the bad guy. When you pull the trigger it also activates a very bright LED light on the front of it so you can have a better view of what you are shooting and it will also disorient the attacker so they will have a hard time seeing you.

When you purchase the Mace Pepper Spray Gun it comes with one cartridge of pepper spray and one of water. The water one gives you the chance to practice with the gun without wasting any of the good stuff. This is vital when you are using self defense products. You want to practice as much as you can so when the times comes to use it you are very comfortable with it so you will get the best results.

Overall the Mace Pepper Spray Gun is a wonderful way to stay protected and defiantly has benefits over a regular bottle of pepper spray. I’m not saying regular pepper spray is bad but if you want something that has a bit more of a bang than this is for you.

I hope that helps shed some light on a product that has seemed to fade into the shadows. I’ll leave it at that for today, we have our daily team meeting in 10 minutes so I have to finish preparing for that.

Stay safe,

Barry

Hello everyone,

I wanted to thank everyone that has taken part in our keychain pepper spray promotion. It is still going strong and we have decided to keep it around for good. The response we have received has been incredible. And in an effort to help everyone in these hard economic times I want to make sure everyone has a chance to be protected. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck like many of us are it can be hard to spare the extra money for self defense products. Being protected shouldn’t cost you a ton of money and that is exactly why I want to make sure anyone that wants to be protected has the chance to do it without breaking the bank.

If you have previously taken part in our keychain pepper spray promotion and are coming back to get more you have probably noticed the price has changed. I apologize for any confusion this has created but there was an unforeseen increase in the price from our distributer. We were previously paying $3.25 per unit but sadly the price has gone up to $4.50.

If you have shopped around you have probably seen the same exact keychain pepper spray anywhere from $10 to $15 dollars. So you are still getting a great deal on some wonderful protection. I truly wish we could still sell it for $3.25 but times are hard right now and everyone needs to do what they can to stay in business.

I would once again like to thank everyone that has taken part in the promotion so far and I extend my sincerest apologies for the price increase.

I’ll leave it here for today, I have a cat at the vet I need to go pick up. She just got fixed so she won’t be a happy camper. Wish me luck!

Stay safe,

Barry
