MADISON, N.J., Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC, the leading real estate lifestyle brand, announced today its Season of Sharing campaign for consumers seeking creative ways to celebrate the holidays ahead. This new campaign features relevant and timely lifestyle ideas curated by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate and Meredith Corporation, which produces the Better Homes & Gardens brand, for Thanksgiving, Kwanza, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve activities, including socially distant party ideas, décor, recipes and more.
In addition to ideas on how to celebrate the holidays at home, the Season of Sharing campaign also features "Ways to Give Back". The section includes suggestions for giving back this season such as researching local volunteer opportunities, participating in a blood drive, fostering a pet or dropping off baked goods to someone in need of neighborly support. The page also showcases the holiday-related philanthropic efforts of BHGRE® affiliates across the country to provide additional inspiration.
The Season of Sharing campaign was inspired by data-rich insights and predictive analytics from the Meredith Data Studio, Meredith’s research and insights division, which uncovered how consumers are planning to celebrate and enjoy the holidays at home.
