At Safety Technology, we encourage retailers to sell our wholesale can and diversion safes as a cost-effective way to protect valuables. These safes, designed to look like everyday items, divert burglars’ attention, leveraging their tendency to avoid time-consuming searches. The content below details how these products work, citing the importance of appearance and placement for security. Diversion safes are an underutilized yet highly effective security measure, offering a unique selling proposition for retailers. We offer advice on selling these safes and highlight the support Safety Technology provides its dealers, including low wholesale pricing, dropshipping options, and marketing assistance.
We sell can and diversion safes at Safety Technology at wholesale because we know they work. We encourage you to consider selling them as well.
They represent an inexpensive way to protect valuables from burglars. These diversion safes and stash boxes offer a clear value to your customers. Let’s take a closer look.
Understanding the logic behind diversion safes is easy when considering what a diversion is.
A diversion safe creates extra protection by diverting a potential burglar’s attention away from valuables and toward other possible targets. In simple terms, it’s a safe that looks like something else. Blending in with other everyday items provides better security through obscurity.
The concept of a diversion safe is to hide valuables inside safes that do not look like safes. The best diversion safes look like ordinary household products.
For example, look at our Arizona Tea Diversion Safe product, pictured above. It is a safe built into a can that looks exactly like a can of Arizona Tea.
Your customer can place this safe in the fridge along with a few legitimate cans of the same product, and a burglar would never think to check any of them.
Appearance and placement work together to disguise the true nature of the diversion safe or container. The same applies to lubricant diversion safes (keep them in the garage with your other tools), wall socket safes (mount it in the wall, just like an actual socket), and many others.
Diversion safes work because they take advantage of the criminal mentality. More on that in just a minute.
First, we sell can and diversion safes in many shapes and sizes. We have diversion safes that look like beverage cans, jarred foods, automotive products, household paints, and more. Each item has been painstakingly manufactured to look identical to the real thing, thus giving burglars no reason to look more closely.
If a burglar gets curious, each of our diversion safes is properly weighted. That Arizona Tea safe weighs about the same as a full can of actual tea. Trust us when we say that our manufacturers have thought of everything.
Two surprising aspects of home burglary explain why diversion safes work. Here’s the first: most burglars head to the master bedroom upon entering a home because they know they will find easily pawned items like jewelry, small electronics, etc. They also see the master bedroom as a good place to find cash.
The second thing to note is that the average burglary takes less than 10 minutes. Burglars are cowards who want to spend as little time as possible in a home to minimize the chances of being caught.
So, if a burglar heads to the master bedroom and spends five minutes rummaging around, that leaves him or her only five more minutes to cover the rest of the house. He or she is not likely to check every beer can or open what he/she thinks is a can of paint. They’re looking for easy, obvious targets — not highly concealed and disguised safes.
This is why diversion safes work. They are designed around the fundamental rule that burglars are very time-sensitive. Manufacturers give property owners a great opportunity to hide their valuables in plain sight by creating a safe that looks like an ordinary household product.
It’s all about taking advantage of the fact that most burglars are in too much of a hurry for serious investigation.
Now that you understand the basic concepts of diversion safes and why they work, let’s discuss why you should sell them. According to statistics, a home burglary happens every 25.7 seconds in the U.S. On average, each break-in lasts eight to 10 minutes.
That amounts to 4,800 burglaries daily, so the chances of your customers being victimized by burglars are fairly high.
You should sell diversion safes because they are an inexpensive, reliable, and long-term way to protect valuables. For less than $50, one of your customers can buy a very effective safe to protect everything from diamonds to precious family heirlooms. They do not have to spend a fortune doing so.
Talk to your average consumer on the street, and he or she is likely to quote a price of hundreds of dollars for a safe. So many people don’t know that diversion safes are as effective as wall or floor safes but a lot less expensive. When you explain the concept of diversion to them, they may realize that one of your products might be more effective than a wall safe.
In short, you should sell diversion safes because your customers will want them once they know you have them. We would not be selling these concealment devices without demand for them.
Our inventory of wholesale diversion safes is extensive enough to give you plenty of options to work with.
The key is to experiment until you find the particular products your customers want. You can easily order diversion-safe samples to find the right product mix for your customer base and to let them interact with your offerings.
As for venues, you have lots of options. Start by selling diversion safes at home parties.
From there, you can branch out by renting vendor space at public events in your area. These include art shows, food-tasting events, holiday celebrations, etc. Public events that seek out vendors are a wonderful opportunity to sell personal safety items.
Next, consider selling at flea markets and pop-up shops. You could also look into renting a kiosk at the mall. Your main goal is to find a space where foot traffic is good. Then, display your diversion safes and other products attractively.
Curiosity will bring customers to you. Diversion safes stand out when marked as diversion safes, especially when disassembled. When they’re in their intended environment, they don’t
You can even consider displaying a sealed diversion safe among accurate versions of the same product to help get the intent and purpose of these concealment devices across to potential customers.
Of course, you can sell diversion safes online as well. You can sell via online classifieds, auction websites, or e-commerce platforms that offer all-in-one stores and shopping carts. If you want to build your site, you can do that too. We can even build an e-commerce site for you.
Regardless of the sales venues you choose, we have discovered that focusing on the burglary aspect is the best way to market these products. Talk to people about annual burglary statistics. Get them to imagine what it might be like to come home from work and find evidence of a burglary. Encourage them to think about the valuables they have stashed — or even in the open — in the master bedroom.
Focusing on the burglary aspect drives home the reality that every property owner is a potential victim. If you can get your customers to think about it, you can show them how effective the diversion safe is.
Show them the attention to detail, the realistic size and weight, and ease of use. Explain how the diversion principle works to fool burglars who want to get in and out quickly.
One last thing is to let your customers handle a sample diversion safe. Let them see how realistic it looks, how realistic it feels, and how heavy it is.
Also, invite them to see if they can find the secret compartment on a sealed diversion safe and quickly figure out how to access it. Remind them that the average burglar only takes 10 minutes to move through an entire home and will likely spend seconds looking at a single, unassuming can of tea or soap dispenser.
If they cannot figure out how to get the diversion safe open, your average burglar isn’t going to waste time trying to figure it out. He or she wants to grab what he/she can and be on their way.
