“KCP&L partnered with PowerDirect Energy to provide grid-use data analysis, secure product warehousing and distribution services for our CFL (compact fluorescent lighting) program. The goal was to deliver kits to 50,000 homes. The program was a great success, both in terms of garnering consumer participation, and achieving significant KWh reduction. It took just five days to deliver all targeted households.”

Energy Efficiency Program Manager, KCP&L
“As our principal provider of direct-to-door leave-behind boxes, PowerDirect Energy has proven to be a very responsive and flexible partner. They were tasked with program fulfillment. They delivered a very fast turnaround and below-market pricing, exceeding all our performance expectations.”

“PowerDirect worked with the Gas Company in developing a front door marketing program thanking our current Hawaiian gas customers for their loyalty. I found their team to be very responsive, and they provided a strategic and tactical creative solution which fit my timing and budget. I’d be happy to recommend them and would definitely use their services again.”

Start a dialogue, change perceptions, influence behavior, meet your goals
Engaging, encouraging and educating customers, in ways that produce measurable behavioral change, have one thing in common: strategic marketing communications. This means that successfully meeting mandated reduction goals ultimately depends on crafting customer-centric messages customers will relate to, in a manner they’ll respond to, through the channels they’ll react to.
