Home Winterization
• According to a forecast by IHS Global Insight, the projected annual growth rate from 2011-2015 for Home Insulation & Weatherization products is +8.1%.
• The U.S. Department of Energy reports that only one in five homes built before 1980 included satisfactory insulation, meaning home investments can be escaping through unsealed windows and faulty doors.
• The most cost efficient way to keep a home’s heat inside, while keeping the heating bill respectable, is to add fresh insulation to the attic, ceilings, basement, and walls. – These can be “do-it-yourself” home upgrades that could cause instant energy savings
between 10-20%.

Insight Based Ideas
Insight
Holiday time inspires homeowners to make improvements and repairs to get ready for the many friends and relatives who will visit, and sets the stage for a magical season.
Holiday Décor Sets the Holiday Tone
Idea: Deck the Home
Radio and Advertiser X help consumers celebrate the magical season with inspirational ideas for honoring traditions, decorating with a festive flair and decking their own halls in their own style within their own budget.
Radio sets the stage by Decking their Homes with Advertiser X as the ‘exclusive’ provider of the station’s trees, trimmings and more.
Deck the Home
How it works:
• Radio stations Deck their Home– Station decorates live trees reflecting their format with Advertiser trimmings for a
budget of $50/tree. Trees can be auctioned or given to needy families in the community.
– Station studios can be decorated with trimmings from Advertiser X and the website’s home page is decorated with Advertiser X flair and presented exclusively by Advertiser X beginning Black Friday throughout the holiday season.
Includes images of the live tree and studio décor.

Insight
Home tours (especially Holiday Home Tours) provide an opportunity to live vicariously and be inspired by escaping daily life and visiting historical or modernistic takes on the magic of the holidays. All in the surroundings of a beautiful piece of architecture not typically open to the public.
Living Vicariously
Idea: Holiday Home Tours
Radio and Advertiser X partner to open doors to historic, celebrity and everyday homes in local markets for consumers to enjoy beautiful and creative holiday home décor and gain inspiration for the décor of their own homes.
Holiday Home Tours
How it works:
• Radio stations and Advertiser identify and secure rights to showcase historic and celebrity homes in the local market for Holiday Home Tours.– Live tours would be scheduled for 1-2 weekend days prior to the Holidays.– Virtual tours (video and still photography) would be made available on the
station’s website.– Advertiser X may offer to decorate these homes for the holiday season and the
tour.
• Virtual tours would be supplemented by content from the Advertiser, for example:– A photo featuring the Holiday tree will include an inspiration thought bubble and a
click-through for trees and trimmings from Advertiser X.– Video of a Holiday dressed dining table may include inspiration thought bubbles
about how to decorate your own dining room with merchandise from Advertiser X.
Holiday Home Tours
How it works:
• Station runs on-air and online promotional units to invite listeners to join them on the live and virtual Holiday Home Tours presented exclusively by Advertiser X. For example:
– “Join station and Advertiser X on a Holiday Home tour this weekend!! This one weekend event offers the opportunity to see some of our region’s best homes decked out for the holidays. If you can’t make it in person, log on to stationsite.com/AdvertiserHolidayHome to take the virtual tour, get inspiration for decorating your own holiday home with Advertiser X and then posting it on the site to win a Holiday Décor Advertiser gift card.”

How it works:
• Listeners are invited to upload a home tour of their own personal Holiday Home and post their “how to” and DIY instructions for others to replicate the look with Advertiser.
– All uploaded home tours will be entered to receive a gift card from Advertiser X for additional décor enhancements.

Insight
More than one in five children in the United States lives in a family struggling with poverty. The situation is urgent for these 13 million American kids. As unemployment rises and safety networks fray, it is up to community partners to come together to help ensure children and families in the United States receive the vital basics they need to survive.
Giving Back
Idea: Save Money & Help Others Live Better
Radio station and Advertiser X present a campaign designed to help local listeners make a difference in the lives of needy families in their community.
Together, we will encourage listeners to nominate families in need of utility assistance, winterization supplies or even warm clothes for kids and purchase Advertiser X merchandise to winterize their own home.
For every $X amount purchased in that community, Radio station will donate $X in merchandise to the nominated families in need.
Save Money & Help Others Live Better
How it works:
• Drive awareness– Heavy media schedules and DJ live reads promote:
• The Advertiser X winterization product offerings to help listeners save money and improve their homes’ efficiency throughout the winter.
• Opportunity to help needy families in each community.
• Family nominations– Radio station creates a simple application to nominate families in the community
who are in need of assistance.– Applications could be submitted online via station website, Advertiser X website,
mailed in or dropped off at local Advertiser X store(s) or the radio station.– Nominated family stories are read on-air to encourage greater participation.
Save Money & Help Others Live Better
How it works:
• Giving– Radio station will donate merchandise based on preset amounts to
be determined.
– Listeners invited to contribute donated merchandise to help families they select from the nominees.
• Blankets, portable heaters, coats, etc. which could be dropped off at Advertiser X location(s) or the Radio station studio.
– Families that benefited based on this campaign are invited to share their story on-air and online.
