At this year’s BAGI Bash (Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis) creativity was on full display — and not just in the latest tools, materials, and smart-home gadgets. The event organizers challenged vendors with a theme -- to design their booths around their favorite movie. RWC’s account executives Staci Cool and Crystal Jackson went all in with the theme and turned out a spectacular booth that was not only perfectly on point for the prompt & the time of year, but also for our industry - inspired by the classic 1990 film Home Alone.
Visitors were greeted by our very own “wet bandits,” on hand to help educate attending builders on potential booby traps, and craft the ultimate home protection plan. (After all, even Kevin needed backup!) Every detail crafted in their booth served a purpose. Informative flyers reminded attendees that accidents happen and highlighted how a comprehensive home warranty can prevent small issues from turning into full-blown disasters. And cute, clever Little Nero’s pizza boxes were filled with a variety of fun, handy items and goodies.
And if you wanted to win the Home Alone–themed prize, well then, you needed to prove your smarts in the “Wet Bandits Warranty Trivia” game. Those who scored the highest were entered into a drawing to win the “Cozy Night In” gift basket. Inside were treats like a gift card (for a plain cheese pizza, if you prefer), plenty of snacks, and Home Alone–themed koozies to keep your beverages cold while you “eat junk and watch rubbish.”
Congratulations to Bob Sandberg with RLS, located in Indiana, for winning the prize! Bob has been a loyal member with RWC for 27 years.
But beneath the laughter and holiday spirit, there was real business being done. The booth attracted steady traffic throughout the day, giving the team a perfect chance to connect with builders, realtors, and contractors. The theme may have made people smile, but it also made them stop. Everyone remembers the chaos of that movie — and Staci and Crystal used that feeling to talk about how a home warranty helps prevent real-life chaos.
