PA Residential Best Practices Best Practices • Cross-marketing of all energy efficiency programs • Centralized call center capable of marketing all programs • Rebate processing to provide timely customer response • Umbrella marketing: • Crisp, clean, professional look to all marketing materials • Consistent use of colors, branding, wording • Designed to create consistent consumer messaging • Provide support to other CSP’s programs (e.g., JACO distributes CFLs) • Stay flexible to redirect efforts for programs that are successful and modify those programs that are under-performing • Provide field-based program outreach to provide all market actors (retailers, contractors, distributors) with marketing, awareness and confirmation that they are viable participants
