| A
Safe Business
How
lucrative is the safety business? Consider this:
Parents
spend more than $1 billion annually on products to safeguard their
children.
Child
safety products have become one of the fastest growing industries
in the market.
With
more dual income families than ever, parents are increasingly putting
those discretionary dollars to use – on their children.
Ever-increasing
knowledge and awareness of safety issues are now prompting parents
to become more adamant about the well-being of their children than
at any other time in history.
