Q2 2026 Executive Summary

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.

| $300 Water Heater Replacement Credit NEW | Plumbing | $300 credit toward WH replacement | Apr 1 – Jun 30 | All phases | PPC, Email, Outbound, Direct Mail | Most aggressive WH offer in the Hawaii market.

Ohana Protection Plan — Q2 Integration
EVERY TOUCHPOINT IS AN ENROLLMENT OPPORTUNITY
Q2 Enrollment Strategy
Every completed service, every Happy Visit, every outbound call, and every post-service follow-up includes an Ohana Protection Plan conversation. This is not optional. The free main line camera inspection is the lead enrollment benefit and the most effective opener the team has had. CY Happy Visits are running at 2.8x PY Q2 pace. The February rebrand is working. Keep the framing identical.
| Touchpoint | Phase 1 (April) | Phase 2 (May) | Phase 3 (June) | Owner | Enrollment Trigger | Notes |
| Post-Service Call | Active — every completed job | Active — every completed job | Active — every completed job + blitz | Ambassadors | Free main line camera inspection lead | Most effective enrollment opener. Standard on every post-service call. |
| Happy Visit | Standard scripted step | Standard scripted step | Happy Visit blitz — increased cadence | Ambassadors / Field | Ohana conversation is not optional | CY Happy Visits at 2.8x PY Q2. Enrollment conversation is scripted, not improvised. |
| Email Campaigns | Seq 2: Non-member enrollment | Seq 3: HVAC service → membership | Final Q2 push: 2+ service customers | Marketing | Target: customers with 2+ prior service calls | High-priority enrollment audience based on demonstrated service history. |
| Outbound Calls | Daily cadence: lapsed + WH outreach | HVAC assessment follow-up | Q2 enrollment sprint | Ambassadors | Every outbound call includes Ohana pitch | Ohana Protection Plan conversation is standard in every call script. |
| Meta Retargeting | Awareness: Protection Plan value | Reinforcement: Free inspection offer | Urgency: Summer protection | Marketing | Website visitors + past customers | Retargeting reinforces the enrollment message across all other touchpoints. |
| Direct Mail | April drop: includes Ohana mention | No May drop scheduled | June drop: HVAC + Ohana combined offer | Marketing | Ohana branding on every mail piece | Not the primary enrollment channel but reinforces awareness. |
| Field Service Completion | Tech mentions Ohana at job close | Tech mentions Ohana at job close | Tech mentions Ohana at job close | Field Operations | Every completed service visit | Techs introduce; Ambassadors close. Two-touch enrollment model. |
| HVAC System Assessment | Not primary (HVAC ramping) | Assessment → Membership pitch | Peak: System sale + membership bundle | Ambassadors + Sales | HVAC assessment is natural Ohana opener | Customers investing in system work are highest-probability enrollment targets. |
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
| Requirement | Detail |
| Age | 65 years or older |
| Residency | Homeowner at primary residence in Steve’s service area (Oahu, Maui, Big Island, Kauai) |
| Verification | Valid government-issued photo ID required at every service call. ID viewed only — date of birth verified, no copy retained. |
| Not Eligible | Renters, non-owner occupants, commercial properties, rental properties, vacation rentals, investment properties |
| Trust / LLC Properties | Reviewed case-by-case at Steve’s discretion |
Customer Benefits
| Benefit | Detail |

One discount per qualifying invoice. Does not stack with any other offer, coupon, member pricing, or promotion. |
| One Year Ohana Protection Plan | Included at no cost. No credit card required. No auto-renewal. One complimentary OPP year per residence (not per kūpuna in the household). Sewer camera inspection is diagnostic only, requires existing accessible cleanout, one per household per year, repairs and cleaning not included. |
| Written Estimate | Provided before any paid work begins. Logged in ServiceTitan on every Kūpuna paid job. |
| 24-Hour Decision Pause | Non-emergency work over $500 receives a 24-hour pause to decide. Pricing held for 7 days. |

| Family Review Prompt | Required for non-emergency work over $2,500. |

| Manager 48-Hour Follow-Up | Manager calls every Kūpuna customer within 48 hours of paid service. Logged with timestamp, two attempts before close. |
Hard Rules — No Exceptions, Any Level of Leadership
- No credit card or payment method collected at Kūpuna OPP enrollment.
- No auto-renewal at month 12 for anyone, new or existing.
- Existing 65+ OPP members: billing paused 12 months, affirmative continuation required to resume.
- ID number is not retained — only viewed.
- Technicians may not pressure customers to upsell during Kūpuna service or any OPP benefit visit.
- Family review prompt is required for non-emergency work over $2,500.
- Controlled 30-day launch: no paid acquisition push until operational metrics confirmed clean.
Phased Marketing Rollout
| Phase | Window | Marketing Activity | Channels Allowed | Channels NOT Allowed |
| Phase 1 — Controlled Launch |
June 1 – June 30, 2026 |
Internal training, ServiceTitan workflow audit, ambassador / CSR script readiness, existing-customer notification only. Website FAQ live. Plain-language program page on StevesHawaii.com (no promotional treatment). |
Internal comms, ambassador conversations on service calls, GBP FAQ post, single targeted email to existing 65+ Ohana members about the complimentary year |
Paid acquisition (PPC, LSA, radio, broadcast, paid social, DM). Aggressive social promotion. Outbound calling campaigns. |
| Phase 2 — Broader Communications |
July 1 – ongoing |
Activate after Phase 1 ops metrics audit confirms clean: written-estimate logging, 48-hour follow-up call rate, audit failures resolved. |
Add: GBP posts (educational), website featured placement, AARP community outreach, earned media, organic social, opt-in email content series |
Paid promotion still prohibited until quarterly leadership review approves expansion. |
| Audit Gate |
End of June |
Phase 2 activation contingent on: 100% written-estimate logging in ServiceTitan, 95%+ manager 48-hour follow-up completion, zero Level 3 complaints, no pattern of policy exceptions. |
Reviewed by Marketing + Wes Carver + Island GMs. Documented decision logged before any Phase 2 channel activates. |
Operational Commitments Marketing Supports
| Commitment | Marketing Role |
| Written estimate logged in ServiceTitan on every Kūpuna paid job | Confirm tracking field in ServiceTitan exists; report weekly compliance to GMs |
| Manager 48-hour follow-up call (two attempts before close) | Weekly reporting line; flag missed SLAs |
| Month 11 reminder letter before complimentary year ends | Mail house coordination; template approval; mailing list pull from ServiceTitan |
| Month 12 manager call (no same-call enrollment) | Reporting only; marketing does not generate this contact |
| Level 3 complaint same-day escalation | Surfaced via Consumer Sentiment dashboard; routed to Island GM + Wes Carver |
| Audit failure consequences (5-day corrective coaching, next 3 jobs reviewed) | Marketing does not own; reports cadence |
Cost & Business Case
| Cost Element | Detail |
| 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 cost | For new enrollee benefit visits: annual plumbing check, AC check, sewer camera. Quantified by Operations. |
| Brand protection value | Cost 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.
Full detail: Kūpuna Protection Program Build Package v6. Leadership One-Sheet dated May 16, 2026. Program launch: June 1, 2026.
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.
CSR Booking Priorities by Job Category
| Job Category | Phase 1 (April) | Phase 2 (May) | Phase 3 (June) | Active Offer | Booking Script Guidance | Upsell Path |
| Active Water Leak / Leak Detection | HIGH PRIORITY — Book same day where possible | HIGH PRIORITY — Maintain urgency response | HIGH PRIORITY — Peak demand | No discount needed. Urgency is the offer. | "We can get a tech out today to locate the leak and stop the damage. Let me get you on the board." | Leak → Repipe assessment → Ohana enrollment (priority service for future emergencies) |
| Drain Clearing (Mainline + Fixture) | HIGH PRIORITY — Peak drain month | MODERATE — Maintain board fill | MODERATE — Steady volume | $89 Drain Clearing + FREE Camera | "For $89 we'll clear the drain and include a free camera inspection so you can see the condition of the line." | Camera → Mainline repair → Repipe → Ohana enrollment |
| Repiping | HIGH PRIORITY — Dedicated campaigns live | HIGH PRIORITY — Continue all Q2 | MODERATE — High-ticket focus | Free Repipe Protection Assessment | "We can send a tech out for a free repipe assessment to check your system and give you options." | Assessment → Repipe job → Ohana enrollment (protect new pipes) |
| Water Heater (Repair + Replace) | MODERATE — Steady demand | HIGH PRIORITY — Ramp WH campaigns | HIGH PRIORITY — Peak WH demand | $300 WH Credit (requires $159 Combo) | "If you book the $159 Home Comfort Combo, you qualify for a $300 credit toward water heater replacement. That's the best deal in Hawaii." | Combo → $300 WH credit → WH replacement → Ohana enrollment (protect new unit) |
| AC Checkup / AC Repair | RAMP — Launch AC campaigns | HIGH PRIORITY — HVAC acceleration | PEAK PRIORITY — Maximum HVAC demand | $89 AC Checkup (renamed "Summer AC Checkup" in May) | "$89 gets you a full visual AC checkup. If we find anything, we'll quote it before any work starts." | Checkup → AC repair → System assess → Ohana enrollment |
| HVAC System Assessment / Sales | LOW — HVAC still ramping | MODERATE — Assessment pipeline | HIGH PRIORITY — Peak system sales | Free Summer AC System Assessment (launches May 1) | "We offer a free AC system assessment. No obligation. We'll evaluate your system and give you options including financing." | Assessment → System sale → Free Air Purifier bundle (June) → Ohana enrollment |
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.
Capacity Guardrails — If This Happens, Do This
| Scenario | Island | Trigger | Immediate Action | Marketing Action | CSR Action | Timeline | Who Decides |
| Plumbing board gets tight | Any island | Same-day plumbing availability drops below 2 slots | Alert Marketing same day | Reduce $89 Drain emphasis on that island.

Do NOT cut spend — shift to other islands. | Shift to booking 1–2 days out. Prioritize emergency and high-ticket calls. | Same day | Branch Manager |
| Oahu HVAC fills faster than expected | Oahu | HVAC board fill exceeds 85% for 3+ consecutive days | Reduce AC Checkup on Oahu.

Maintain emergency AC same-day. | 24 hours | Marketing + Branch |
| Big Island plumbing fills too fast | Big Island | Plumbing board fill exceeds 90% | Shift toward higher-value jobs only | Reduce eLocal and $89 Drain on BI. Maintain repipe and leak campaigns. | Prioritize repipe, install, and leak calls. Schedule drain 2+ days. | 24 hours | Marketing + Branch |
| Maui booking quality weakens | Maui | Maui revenue per call drops below $350 for 5+ days | Tighten paid channel mix on Maui | Reduce eLocal and Yelp on Maui. Review PPC keyword quality. Shift to high-intent keywords only. | Flag low-quality calls for Marketing review. Monitor cancellation rate. | 48 hours | Marketing |

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.
