After watching this video and looking at how it applies to our industry, here are three trends we think integrators should keep on their radar for 2026:


  • People connect with people: Your brand isn’t just your products—introducing your team helps build trust, especially in security.


  • Communities want real interaction: Digital ads aren’t enough anymore. Get out there and meet customers where they are.


  • Niche content wins: Algorithms love specificity—share your products, but also the passion and purpose behind your company.

We’re excited to share that one of this year’s Best Business Practices panels at Live & Learn is all about Social Media!


Join us live for real-world insights, honest experiences, and practical tips you won’t find anywhere else.

Make Your Brand a Scroll-Stopping Experience


The first three seconds on social media can make or break whether someone pauses on your content or scrolls right past.


Katye McGregor Bennett breaks down why hooks, authentic moments, and simple behind-the-scenes clips consistently outperform polished, high-production posts.


It’s all about capturing real stories, real reactions, and real value — quickly.


For dealers, these principles are a perfect fit: a quick lighting demo, a client’s first-time reaction to a system, an unboxing on-site, or a before-and-after transformation can go much further than a staged promo ever will.


Small moments tell big stories, and those stories build trust with future customers.
