Guess what?<br/><br/><br/>WELLESLEY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 15, 2002-- Nexus Energyguide, a leading provider of e-CRM solutions to energy companies, is enriching its extensive web content and marketing options through a new partnership with Tom Silva and Richard Trethewey of This Old House(TM) and Ask This Old House(TM) TV Shows. <br/><br/>Historically, utilities have been viewed as just the company that runs the wires and electricity into the home. This is changing rapidly and utilities are becoming instead the expert source on all types of home services and issues. <br/><br/>Through the partnership, utilities can now offer expert advice on home heating, cooling and efficiency issues, capitalizing on the valuable name recognition of the This Old House brand. <br/><br/>This Old House is one of the top rated television shows in the nation with approximately 10 million monthly viewers. The show features on-location home repair and construction case studies and advice--including tips on energy management and efficiency. Several experts appear regularly to help solve home problems. <br/><br/>Two of the most recognized cast members are Tom Silva and Richard (Rich) Trethewey. Tom provides ongoing input on general contracting and construction issues and Rich contributes on HVAC, plumbing and energy efficiency topics. <br/><br/>Both Tom and Rich will work with Nexus to provide additional creative content to customers of Nexus' utility clients. <br/><br/>This will include a web-based "Ask The Experts with Tom &amp; Rich of This Old House" column, where Tom and Rich will provide answers to saving energy and related questions asked by utility customers. Utilities can offer this functionality on a private label basis. <br/><br/>Similar content will also be available for electronic and print newsletters provided by Nexus, as well as in Nexus' CD-ROM based products. <br/><br/>In addition, utilities will be able to utilize Tom and Rich in other promotional activities. For example, to encourage customers to participate in an energy efficiency program, one Nexus utility client has offered their customers the chance to "Win a Free Home Visit from Tom and Rich of This Old House." <br/><br/>"We are tremendously excited to bring the benefits of this partnership to our utility clients," stated Harvey Michaels, CEO of Nexus Energyguide. "Nexus is focused on providing leading edge customer service and marketing solutions to the energy industry, including highly innovative energy-related content. Tom and Rich will enable us to enhance that content with practical advice based on years of experience. Moreover, the utility brand can benefit from association with nationally recognized experts that TV viewers look forward to listening to every week." <br/><br/>Tom Silva is excited also about working with Nexus. "Rich and I are very familiar with Nexus' history as a leader in helping consumers with energy issues, so it's great to be working with them and their partners to help people out," said Silva. <br/><br/>About Nexus Energyguide <br/><br/>Nexus Energyguide (www.nexusenergy.com) helps energy companies and other energy-related organizations enhance customer communications and relationships by delivering CRM solutions addressing energy management, customer service, and marketing services.
