Q2 2026 Executive Summary

APR 1 – JUN 30, 2026 4 ISLANDS MERYDIAN®
Q2 Operating Principle — Revenue Quality Over Promotional Volume
The data confirms completed revenue per inbound call is up 29% year over year, new customer acquisition cost improved 26% through Q1, and the highest-performing channels are producing better work at higher ticket values. Entry offers remain in market as controlled booking tools designed to create in-home opportunity for larger-ticket outcomes. They are not the strategy. The strategy is to fill the board with the job types the data says produce the strongest revenue: active leak response, repiping, water heater replacement, HVAC system assessment, and plumbing install. Every channel, every campaign, and every dollar is measured against completed revenue, not call volume.

Island-Specific Enrollment Notes
Oahu

Largest opportunity by volume. Every campaign dollar fills capacity with high-quality customers who are strong Ohana candidates. Email sequences target Oahu's largest non-member customer base.

Big Island

HVAC system sales suggest high membership conversion potential. Customers investing in system work are natural Protection Plan enrollees. Vog/air quality messaging connects to ongoing service value.

Maui

Strong service frequency supports conversion. Mid-Q2 enrollment push timed to seasonal service demand. Drain customers with repeat visits are priority targets.

Kauai

Community referral culture makes Happy Visits the most effective enrollment channel. Quality over volume. Every enrollment on Kauai generates referral potential.

Kūpuna Protection Program

LAUNCH JUNE 1, 2026 CONTROLLED 30-DAY ROLLOUT RISK MITIGATION · NOT REVENUE
Program Posture — This Is Not a Marketing Program
The Kūpuna Protection Program is a customer protection commitment for homeowners age 65 and older. It is run as risk mitigation, not as a marketing investment. The cost of a single Level 3 complaint reaching local media is materially higher than the program’s annual cost. Public-facing protections lead. Discount and complimentary Ohana Protection Plan year follow. Marketing’s role is to communicate the program accurately, support enrollment operations, and protect the brand — not to acquire customers through it.
Eligibility & Verification
RequirementDetail

  • Family review prompt is required for non-emergency work over $2,500.

Cost & Business Case
Cost ElementDetail
Foregone OPP revenue per existing 65+ converted member~$179 / year ($14.95/month × 12). Lower retention expected at month 13 vs auto-renewal — this trade is intentional.
Variable tech-time and parts costFor new enrollee benefit visits: annual plumbing check, AC check, sewer camera. Quantified by Operations.
Brand protection valueCost of a single Level 3 complaint reaching local media is materially higher than the program’s annual cost. Program is run as risk mitigation, not as a marketing investment.
Cross-Dashboard Connection
Why This Program, Why Now
The Consumer Sentiment dashboard surfaced a 1-star Yelp review on Kauai in early 2026 describing alleged pressure on an elderly customer to pay above an agreed quote. That review remains unanswered in public per our standard protocol (1-star reviews are handled via internal customer outreach for resolution). The Kūpuna Protection Program is the operational answer: a public commitment, a hard rule set, and an audit cadence that makes that pattern impossible to repeat at scale. It is the right thing to do regardless of marketing benefit — and the right framing for leadership is that this is a brand-protection commitment first.

Social Media Strategy

TRUST AMPLIFIER — NOT DIRECT RESPONSE ENGINE
NEW June 1: Gas Card Giveaway is the Primary Summer Social Driver
The $250 Visa Gas Card Weekly Giveaway is the lead organic + paid social campaign June 1 – September 30. Weekly post cadence: drawing reminder (Monday), winner announcement (Friday), entry call-to-action mid-week. Use the Steve’s Cares mascot drop creative across all four islands. Hashtags: #StevesCares #GoALittleFarther #HawaiiHomeowner. Always include "No purchase necessary" disclaimer language per official rules. Always link to StevesHawaii.com/giveaway.
NEW June 1: Kūpuna Protection Program — Phase 1 Social Restrictions
No paid social promotion of the Kūpuna Protection Program through June 30. Phase 1 social activity is limited to a single educational GBP post (FAQ-style) and an existing-customer email. No paid amplification, no organic posts on Facebook / Instagram, no influencer / community partner outreach. Phase 2 channel expansion is gated by the end-of-June operational audit. See Kūpuna Program tab for full rule set.
Social supports the broader Q2 strategy by building trust and local relevance, reinforcing high-value service categories, and warming up homeowners before they search, call, or click. The strongest direct response dollars remain with LSA and Google Ads. Social's job is to make Steve's look local, trustworthy, active, and helpful across all four islands.

Subject Line Principles
•  Lead with the homeowner's problem, not the offer: "Water heater acting up?" beats "$300 off water heaters!"
•  Keep subject lines under 50 characters where possible. Mobile-first.
•  Use urgency without false urgency: "before summer demand rises" is honest; "LAST CHANCE EVER" is not.
•  Personalize by island where the platform allows: "Oahu homeowner?" or "Kauai plumbing alert" adds local relevance.
•  Every email pre-header should reinforce the subject, not repeat it. Subject: "AC problems?" Pre-header: "Here's what to do before it gets worse."

Call Center & Ambassador Playbook

CSR BOOKING PRIORITIES + OHANA ENROLLMENT
NEW June 1: Kūpuna Protection Program — CSR & Ambassador Scripts
CSR intake script addition: When booking a call for a homeowner who self-identifies as 65+ or whose information indicates 65+, mention the Kūpuna Protection Program briefly and flag the job in ServiceTitan with the Kūpuna tag so the technician arrives prepared with the welcome packet, written estimate templates, and family review prompt awareness. Do not pressure for enrollment on the call — the program is explained at the door, in person, with ID verification.

Ambassador / Technician script: At the door, verify government-issued photo ID (view only, no copy). Present the Kūpuna welcome card. Confirm trusted contact preference. For any non-emergency work over $500, explain the 24-hour pause and 7-day price hold. For any non-emergency work over $2,500, the family review prompt is required. Technicians may not pressure for upsell during any Kūpuna service or any OPP benefit visit. Manager 48-hour follow-up call is auto-scheduled in ServiceTitan.

Escalation: Any Level 3 complaint (alleged pressure, elder concern, media risk, legal threat, AARP, DCCA) is escalated same business day to the Island GM and Wes Carver.
NEW June 1: Gas Card Giveaway — CSR Mentions
CSRs mention the Steve’s Cares Gas Card Giveaway at the natural close of every inbound call: "Have you heard about our weekly $250 gas card giveaway? Anyone in Hawaii can enter for free at StevesHawaii.com slash giveaway." Brief, optional, never high-pressure. Service or no-service does not affect entry odds and CSRs do not ask whether the customer has entered.
Q2 is a revenue quality quarter. CSRs should prioritize booking the job types that produce the strongest completed revenue, not the highest raw call volume. Entry offers ($89 Drain, $89 AC Checkup, $159 Combo) are tools to get in the home. The goal is always to convert the entry into the larger-ticket outcome.

Booking Rate Watchpoints
•  PY Q2 booking rate was 34.2%. Q2 2026 target is ≥33%. HVAC surge volume in May–June can compress booking rate temporarily — this is expected.
•  If booking rate drops below 25% on any island for more than 3 consecutive days, flag CSR team IMMEDIATELY before any channel spend is adjusted.
•  A system-wide booking rate drop across all trades and all islands simultaneously is an operations problem, not a marketing problem. Do not reduce spend.
•  Speed-to-answer is critical as call volume rises in Phase 2–3. Monitor daily. If hold times increase, CSR staffing is the fix, not budget cuts.
•  Track booking rate by island daily. If one island fills faster than others, alert Marketing so budget can shift to the softer island same day.
•  Booking rate on HVAC calls may be lower than plumbing — this is normal (system assessment calls are longer, more consultative). Judge HVAC on revenue per call, not booking rate alone.

Production & Compliance Notes
•  Total cuts needed: 8 (Spot A × 4 islands + Spot B × 4 islands). Optional 9th cut: Big Island Spot B with vog/air quality angle.
•  Big Island versions use numeric CTA only (808-329-5325). No LEAK mnemonic. Spot is ~3 words shorter as a result.
•  Spot A to Spot B transition: May 1. All stations should have Spot B loaded and confirmed by April 25.
•  Both spots retain: $89 price point, low monthly payments, Foodbank mention, Steve's Guarantee, steveshawaii.com.
•  Spot A introduces: $159 Combo → $300 WH credit pathway. Spot B introduces: Free AC system assessment.
•  Word counts are approximate. Time each cut at recording to confirm 30-second fit. If tight, "Low monthly payments available" can be trimmed first.
•  All spots must include the Steve's Guarantee verbatim: "We do it right, make it right, or it's free."
•  Foodbank mention is a brand differentiator that no Hawaii competitor matches. Keep in every version.
•  If streaming/digital audio is added (Spotify, Pandora, iHeart), same scripts apply. Add a Radio + Streaming line item to the Spend Tracker.
