Marketing Modules

Marketing modules encourage customers to take advantage of utility-specific or Oracle Utilities-specific products or programs. The modules are selected from a library of content that has been tested to optimize conversions and satisfaction. Small edits can be made to the text and visuals. For example, the modules can be customized to promote utility-specific programs (such as a home audit), products or features, processes, rebates, calls to action (URL, phone number, or both), and more.
