Small Businesses in Phoenix Taking Aim at New Wave of Emotional Movers

Phoenix, AZ (Sept. 2013) – More than 43 million Americans will move nationwide this year, many because of employment concerns or a chance at a new start in a new neighborhood. Regardless of the reason, even those moving to our wonderful backyard in Phoenix will be stressed and searching for a warm welcome. In fact, according to the Employee Relocation Council, moving is the third most stressful event in a person’s life, trumped only by death and divorce. Regardless of the stress level, chances are these new arrivals won’t be greeted by a smiling face with a plate of home baked cookies saying, “welcome to the neighborhood.” In a digital age where neighbors are too consumed by technology and daily schedules to deliver a quality introduction to the Valley of the Sun, where’s love for new movers looking for a fresh start? Enter Dave Sliman and Our Town America, the nation’s leading new mover welcoming organization, who have been bringing back house warming traditions to Phoenix since 1999. Each month, Dave delivers warm and personal Our Town America welcoming packages to new Phoenix residents full of valuable gift certificates from local businesses. The goal, says Sliman, is to ignite the emotional spark that encourages new residents, not yet set in their ways, to become lifelong customers with Phoenix businesses. “The average mover has a 56-item to-do list when they move to a new home. We want to make an otherwise stressful situation a little easier to handle by connecting them to our local business community as soon as they come to Phoenix,” Sliman said. “At the same time, we want to help local businesses reach these prospective new customers and turn them into lifelong fans.” Read More Here….

Low Cost Franchise Business that Values High Quality Relationships

Low Cost Franchise Business Our Town America

Our Town America is structured as a relatively low cost franchise business that is an excellent fit for self-motivated entrepreneurs who are interested in sparking long-term, loyal relationships between local businesses and new movers. “Most of our franchisees have been with us for over 10 years,” reports Michael. In addition, they love the flexible business model (many work from home) and appreciate the amount of corporate support delivered by Michael and his team. Larry Neal, a Vietnam Veteran and Our Town America franchisee since 2006, said you would be hard pressed to find a franchisee who has anything bad to say about this company. “The relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee is very solid because of the support provided to us in the field and the constant upgrades to the operations.” Larry, his wife and, more recently, their daughter now own three franchises and he said, “I make more money than I’ve ever made in my whole life.” Click here to indulge in the full article!

Veteran Owned Business Opportunity with Six Figure Potential

Veteran Owned Business Franchise Opportunity Our Town America

Fifteen years ago, Michael Plummer left college and joined the Army. “It grew me up,” he says. In Plummer’s words, four years of training and working as a medic at Walter Reed Hospital in DC and in Korea “taught me real responsibility, depending on myself, leadership and how it affects those around you.” Michael says he’d probably still be serving in the military if he hadn’t been called upon to run the family business due to the unexpected death of his father in 2009. Today, four years later, Michael is running Our Town America, the company his father started in 1972, with the same leadership skills he learned in the Army. Our Town America, the nation’s premier new mover marketing program, helps recently relocated residents find their way to highly reputable area businesses.

Multi-Unit Franchisee Bassam Safi Speaks On His Success with Our Town America

Franchisee Feature Bassam Safi Franchise Owner

Years ago, I came to America with very little I could call my own. I had few, if any, job-ready skills, no college degree, and a very minimal understanding of American culture and the English language. What I did (and still do) have, however, was a tireless work ethic and endless opportunities at my fingertips. Despite the clear advantages other Americans in the workforce had over me, I was determined to overcome them and achieve the American Dream. Today, as a multi-unit franchise owner and North Carolina area developer with Our Town America, the nation’s first and fastest growing new mover marketing franchise, I can happily say that I’ve fulfilled that dream and couldn’t be more satisfied with the personal and financial independence the franchise industry has supplied to myself and my family.
