Niche

Budget winter prep for older homeowners (Dollar Tree buys, no-power heat)

Audience

Older US homeowners (inferred): the winter videos speak to 'our age' and 'an older body' and cite US storm outages and Dollar Tree prices; earlier videos target homeowners comparing window, roof, flooring and AC brands and contractor quotes.

Avatar

• Realistic avatar
• Current look: an older man with a white handlebar moustache, cream cowboy-style hat, cream neckerchief and navy denim jacket, in a study (avatar) or composited into store scenes. Earlier uploads show a different-looking middle-aged man with a grey beard in a blue polo with a house-shaped logo (introduced as Hank).

Format

Countdown list of 5-20 items per video, opened with a household-cost story; each item gets a reason, a price and a caution (an older-body note in the winter videos). Ends with a plan reminder, a subscribe line and a pointer to the next video.
