The Beginnings…
Our Town’s History is a quaint, full circle of events, beginning back in 1972, when our movers were first welcomed in the small town of Newton, Iowa. Although it was merely a humble envelope of gifts from the local merchants, the new arrivals of the neighborhood were very appreciative of our welcome surprise. The founder of our company expanded the program to other parts of the country. Through the next several years, other new mover program options were investigated and tested. Families have experienced our welcome in a variety of styles, including hostess delivery, expensive solo mail options, and several community style packages — all tried and tested across the country.
Today
Now Our Town provides your new neighbors with the traditional hospitality of warm gifts from the neighborhood in a premium gift package. The only difference is that now we introduce over 6 million families a year to thousands of businesses across the country and we carefully prepare our special packages from a 20,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility. Personal thoughtfulness and generosity are as appreciated today as they were 30 years ago. The necessary psychological triggers which prompt our gift package to be opened give our sponsors the opportunity they deserve. Plus it gives these families the special attention they need — all wrapped up in the spirit of a hospitable, caring town.
