01 · The Client

Built-in trust. But no identity of its own.

NJR Home Services (NJRHS) sells, installs, and services home heating, cooling, and solar systems across New Jersey. As a subsidiary of New Jersey Resources, a Fortune 1000 gas utility, NJRHS had built-in trust but needed its own identity in a saturated market. It also needed to grow its signature Total Comfort Plan among homeowners who didn't yet have a warranty or immediate need for HVAC repair.

02 · The Insight

Two overlooked truths.

Princeton Partners uncovered two overlooked truths about NJRHS and its market.

The Emotional Truth

Comfort isn't a product feature—it's the reason people pick up the phone.

The Analytical Truth

NJRHS had been marketing the Total Comfort Plan to a fraction of its real opportunity.

The Real Addressable Universe
What Was Being Marketed To
The addressable universe was far larger than anyone realized — NJRHS had only been reaching a fraction of its real opportunity.
03 · The Solution
