The Safe As A Silent Salesman D ru Petty, sales specialist at Range Master, a gun shop and range in San Luis Obispo, Calif., agrees product placement is important, especially when selling safes. “We’ve created a centrally located island of safes and security boxes. From anywhere in the store we can see someone checking out the safes and move to assist them. And, we can walk the customer through all sizes and levels of safes and vaults,” Petty said. Winchester e-Vaults, models eV400, eV600 and eV1200, sized for one or two handguns and documents, are low-cost, fast movers in Petty’s shop. When asked for an example of a hotselling new security solution, Range Master’s president, John Perry, jumped in. “That would be the Titan Gun Vault,” Perry said. “We’re selling a lot of them to police and corrections officers, as well as citizens, and customers have been really pleased.” Using different mounting plates, the single handgun-sized Titan Gun Vault can be positioned horizontally or vertically almost anywhere in the home or office, in vehicles and even on steel bed rails. The lockbox itself attaches to the mounting plate in seconds from the inside of the box, enhancing security. A user-programmable, push-button code allows the user to swing open the door, and as it opens, a universal holster on an armature lifts a handgun up into an easily grasped position. “It’s a great design,” Perry said. “Rugged, strong and it demos really well when “People are often surprised at the great interior furnishings and organization of quality safes,” said Dru Petty of Range Master. “Just getting a customer to visualize their guns and valuables inside can close a sale.” Here, Petty presents Browning safes.
