There are SO many exciting things happening at this year’s Home Service Freedom event. We want to jump right into the details of what Home Service Freedom is (if you don’t already know!) and the role our team is going to play this year. If you haven’t secured your spot yet, get your tickets here!
Freedom 2024 is going to take place in San Diego from Sept. 25-27 at the Marriott Marquis – San Diego Marina. Hosted by Tommy Mello, Home Service Freedom is entering its second year after seeing tremendous success in 2023. Designed for home service businesses specifically, Freedom gets to the heart of growing your business with the intent to sell. It is spearheaded by several multi-million dollar entrepreneurs who have capitalized on their efforts and are now bringing their strategies and secrets to the stage.
Last year, our president and creative director, Dan Antonelli, was a keynote speaker and delivered a full presentation about home service brands and how the brand directly impacts your ability to grow and sell your business. Terri Lynne Briggs, our executive vice president, joined a marketing panel to discuss the lay of the land for home service businesses and the various strategies for standing out in an increasingly competitive market.
This year, our team will continue to be a resource for all Freedom attendees. Whether you would like to discuss your company’s name or learn more about our logo process, we’re bringing the experts across each of our departments to arrive prepared and fully charged. Here are the KickCharge team members who will be attending Freedom 2024:
If you met us at last year’s event, you’ll recall our team providing free, on-the-spot brand evaluations. We’ll be doing those again this year, with a few changes.
Since we’re bringing the brand evals back, we decided it was time to give our signature offering a name. From this day forward, KickCharge will be the creator and provider of Brand Scans!
Is your brand healthy? In other words, is it disruptive and doing its part to help you stand out rather than blend in? There’s only one way to find out …
Besides our catchy new name, the other change we’ll be introducing this year is pre-scheduled time slots. We want to make sure we can support and assist as many home service businesses as possible. Therefore, we’ll be following a predetermined schedule to ensure that everyone who wants to connect with us will have the chance to do so. Plus, each time slot will be 20 minutes long, so our team will be able to give the same amount of time and focus to everyone.
Schedule your Brand Scan today (and don’t forget to select Pacific Time zone). Spots will fill up quickly, so schedule now to secure your spot!
If you were in Orlando for last year’s Freedom event, you likely saw the fabulous chalk drawing completed by Jesse LuBera, one of our incredibly talented illustrators. Jesse will be returning to Freedom 2024 to work his magic and create another piece for this year’s event. Stay tuned for more details on where the drawing will be so you can stop by and take some pictures to commemorate the fun at Freedom 2024!
FlexCharge, fleets and marketing plans, oh my!
There’s a lot happening at KickCharge Headquarters! Here are some exciting new initiatives to put on your radar:
Extended payment options are now on the menu! If you have wanted to rebrand, but felt restricted due to cash flow, you’ll definitely want to check out our new FlexCharge program.
FlexCharge is essentially financing without the stress and complexity of working with third-party lenders. There are no applications, credit checks or lender approvals required to participate. The only requirements are to be a KickCharge client and provide the necessary credit card or ACH information to enable automatic payments.
As a FlexCharge client, you will pay the first 50% of your project fees as an upfront deposit. Then, rather than require the other half of your payment all at once, you’ll be able to pay over time through one of these options:
During those 12-18 months, you’ll start to recoup that investment as your brand launches and unleashes its new, KickCharged power!
Financing new vehicles isn’t always feasible (or even possible) for home service companies. Paying cash and slowly purchasing one vehicle at a time isn’t any better. Plus, for every vehicle you purchase, you have to handle all of the maintenance and upkeep yourself.
JumpSpark Fleet Management is the long-awaited solution for home service companies. Founded by Tommy Mello, JumpSpark was created to help fill a void in the industry. It is the fleet company that Tommy wishes existed when he was growing his own business, A1 Garage Door Service. Through open-end lease agreements, JumpSpark helps businesses free up more cash flow and grow their fleets faster and more efficiently. Plus, JumpSpark will take the reins and provide ongoing services (fleet maintenance, strategy, risk management, etc.) to help clients navigate the complexities of fleet management and maximize their ROI. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with JumpSpark and help elevate the home service industry through this long-awaited solution.

Freedom 2023 was a blast—and that’s when the party was just getting started.
Now that we’re in Year Two, we can’t wait to see what’s new and how we can help even more businesses through this event and our own newly launched initiatives.
If you haven’t already done so, we highly encourage you to learn more about Freedom 2024 and reserve your spot. This is going to be one for the books. And, even better, we’ll be having some fun in the California sun. We hope to see you there!
