          oday there is a steady
        
        
          and growing demand
        
        
          for integrated systems
        
        
          in today’s homes and
        
        
          businesses. In fact, every
        
        
          major category of home
        
        
          entertainment, security, and
        
        
          personalized automation has grown from
        
        
          2012 through 2013 and the trend continues.
        
        
          Our desire for convenience and a better quality
        
        
          of life is helping to drive this technology
        
        
          adoption. Most of us enjoy music or movies
        
        
          or sports or all three…and we usually enjoy
        
        
          them with our friends and family. Exciting
        
        
          new products and services make it easier for
        
        
          all of us to upgrade the entertainment and
        
        
          technology in our homes today.
        
        
          At Reference,we take confusingor complicated
        
        
          circumstances associated with new products
        
        
          technologies and make them work for our
        
        
          customers. Reference was established in 1992
        
        
          as a specialty audio/video retailer located
        
        
          in Cumberland Square in Bettendorf. The
        
        
          company provides design services along with
        
        
          custom installation of audio video systems
        
        
          into homes and businesses from its Quad
        
        
          Cities location. Years later, we made the
        
        
          decision to become a full-service technology
        
        
          integration firm and we acquired a security
        
        
          services company to expand our offering to
        
        
          include surveillance cameras and monitored
        
        
          security systems.
        
        
          As a market leader for more than 20 years, we
        
        
          provide our clients with the peace of mind
        
        
          that comes from systems that are properly
        
        
          designed, professionally installed, and backed
        
        
          by a service-for-life relationship...we strive to
        
        
          do this better than anyone.

          In this age of the internet and major box
        
        
          store chains people sometimes wonder
        
        
          (or even ask) “can you compete on price
        
        
          with companies X, Y, or Z?” The answer is
        
        
          a resounding “YES”. Let’s take TVs as an
        
        
          example. The Reference price will be the
        
        
          same as the advertised local Box Store price.

          the best value. Each customer decides and

          to work on the important priorities.
