NAHB 2007 New Homes Month Promotional Kit Online Now
April 2007 is New Homes Month and NAHB has developed an online promotional kit packed with resources and materials to help HBAs and members bring positive attention to the home building industry and provide their community with consumer information on the benefits of homeownership and, in particular, buying a new home.

In the New Homes Month Kit you will have access to consumer articles, print advertisements, a New Homes Month Proclamation and other resources to help you and your association or company maximize New Homes Month throughout April. Consider using these materials to further promote your spring home shows or parades of homes and other special events you may be planning in April and beyond.

Please contact the Public Affairs area at NAHB if you have any questions about the 2007 New Homes Month Kit and other ways to bring positive attention to the home building industry in your communities. Call us at 1-800-368-5242, ext. 8061 or email nclark@nahb.com
