Public Events: Go where the crowd is.

If your customers are anything like us, they like to get out and about and try new things (within reason). What a PERFECT time to have a conversation about your program and energy-efficiency and entice them to try something new in their home. While e-commerce is all the rage these days (we’re pretty awesome at that too), retail was born through pop-up shops at bazaars and public markets and is not going away anytime soon.

Retail the way it’s always been done.

The birth of retail started with vendors popping up in public to sell products. We stumbled upon this truth in our earliest days supporting utility and energy-efficiency programs in selling CFLs (remember those things?) to uninterested customers and became pretty good at it over time. We learned when you combine a good offer, quality products, and a hands-on educational experience, customers are more than willing to make a purchase. No two events are the same, but they all offer the following benefits:

  • Claim energy savings for each sale
  • Custom-branded “packs” or “kits” that not only deliver multi-measure savings, but act as a “walking billboard” promoting your program and brand
  • Low-cost of entry and fast set-up

The future of energy is here. Beneficial electrification. Utilities and energy providers need to educate their customers about this disruptive shift with an omnichannel marketing and awareness approach. The challenge of explaining a multifaceted concept like beneficial electrification to a customer becomes a much easier proposition when they can experience firsthand what new technologies can do for their home.

I'll-Be-Back

“I’ll be back.”  

The Governator was on to something when he said that. Who knew this pithy three-word phrase laid the foundation for successful e-commerce strategy adopted by companies ranging from Target to TechniArt?
