It appears that not all manufacture perks are dead... these guys promise "so much money... you can get two in different colors".

I find it fascinating the evolution of this industry. While some remember the good ole days when manufacturers offered trips, today it's more lunch/dinner over a training seminar.
The good ole days were when everyone was making profits as it wasn't a race to the lowest price available. Now that it is, training is more important than lavish trips.

No love shown for the late, great prince of perks, Frank De Fina?

2015 our branch took our top installers on a conference cruise where they were forced to endure about 10 hours of sales pitch amongst the 4 days of fun, was a very successful way to spend our marketing budget.
In 2016 we had a golf day that left a lasting impression on some.
In 2017 we had a fairly stock standard sales seminar & provided a couple of nice meals.
As this was a branch based initiative I am not going to state who I work for, suffice to say our customers had fun & got to see the current sales presentations & offerings.

This is probably part of the reason why nobody (or almost nobody) coming out of college wants to enter this industry.

Perks? From the manufacturer? We must have traded those for lower prices or something.

Perks and even basic good will accommodations, previously provided by many manufacturers, are all but gone these days. Those in our industry, enthusiastic about lower prices and subsequently lower margins, equates to our industry's version of "Trickle-Down Economics". Keep on buying and marketing Chinese $50-$150 cameras and you fuel your own demise!
The race to the bottom that a majority of Integrator/Dealers are participating in is why the surveillance industry is destroying itself, from within. Bye bye perks and profits!
