The smart home is becoming increasingly popular as consumers search for convenience, safety, security and energy savings from their connected devices. In fact, one-third of U.S. homes have at least one connected device today and within four years, household penetration is expected to increase up to 60 percent.* This smart statistic is exactly why JCPenney chose to pilot a compelling selection of smart home products this spring. Customer response was enthusiastic and we are excited to announce that beginning Oct. 6, smart home technology will be available in nearly 500 JCPenney stores.
In addition to industry leading products from Samsung, Ring, Netgear and more, JCPenney customers will now find Google Home devices in stores and at jcpenney.com. Google Home is powered by Google assistant and can help users make phone calls, play music, manage everyday tasks, answer questions, and perhaps most importantly, control their smart homes. JCPenney also offers easy-to-install smart home solutions in categories including major appliances, lighting, safety and security, audio and accessories. Just in time for the holiday shopping season, we are adding more smart home brands and products to our already extensive assortment that would even make Santa consider a smart hub for his sleigh.
By offering shoppers the most intelligent technology available, JCPenney is helping customers discover how to smartly and efficiently connect their homes at an affordable price.
Here are just a few of the smart home products that JCPenney shoppers will find in stores, and at jcpenney.com, this fall:
