Video for a presentation to suppliers to encourage them to participate in the Home Charm Group’s (including Texas Homecare) marketing campaigns. In particular it discusses the Texas Homecare Autumn Sales Drive. Suppliers helped to fund the campaigns in exchange for promotion of their product. A cricket theme is used for the presentation.

It appears that the presentation would have also included talks by directors Manny Fogel, Clive Roylance and Ron Trenter but these are not included in this video and were possibly intended to be delivered in-person at an event for suppliers. A still image of each director during the video seems to identify when their talk would have begun.

Several television commercials from previous marketing campaigns are also included in the video.
