We are a unique, old fashioned referral and lead program, that has been brought into our 21st Century culture...

Why Our Program Works...
Ten Great Reasons To Join Us!
1. Most folks start their searches for “RELOCATION,” "PARENTING," and other interests, such as "PET MATTERS," on the net.
Join us in being the first to get these folks attention.
2. We take the time to "Poll" our neighbors and get their “BEST IN TOWN” opinions.
Our hometown folks share their favorite community businesses, best places to eat, places to go for family fun, and who to trust if the car breaks down, or the dog becomes ill.
3. We provide a wealth of time and money saving community information that will allow our new folks to complete all "RELOCATION" and “NEW MOVE TASKS”.
Department of Motor Vehicles, Register to Vote, Community Connections and pet licensing, to name a few.

Four Offerings That You Just Can't Miss!
Gift Packet Program!1. You may be wondering what a “Welcome Business” is. Have you recently moved? Do you know someone who has? Were you greeted by a friendly member of the community who brought you a packet full of gifts, maps and community information? If not, why not? In the past, whenever someone new moved into the neighborhood, everyone knew about it. The kids wondered if the new family had kids of the same age. The women wondered if the wife had similar interests. The men wondered if they would find a new fishing buddy. A few of the ladies in the neighborhood would pay a visit on the new family to say hi and welcome them to the neighborhood. They usually brought a cake, or pie, for the visit. Along with the wonderful home baked goodies, they brought something more valuable (and less fattening). They brought information! They would tell you what stores to shop at, the name of the local scout leader and about the crazy lady with all the cats. These visits made the new family feel welcome and a part of the community.
In today’s fast paced society, everyone is running here and there and no one has time to welcome the new family to the block. We are a nation on the move, just look at the number of moving companies in the phone book. In the past, moving took a lot of work. You had to load the wagon, pack up the kids, get the animals ready and head out. If you were smart, you would hook up with a wagon train heading west. The wagon train is no longer the preferred method of moving! In the age of planes, trains and automobiles, people are moving here, there, and everywhere. Like ants, they lift up their futon, load up the minivan and move on. They land in cities, towns, and country farms. All the new choices and directions are perplexing. They wonder, “Where do I shop? Who is the local scout leader? And what’s up with that crazy lady with all the cats?”
Just like the neighborhood ladies of the past, our Hosts will be their personal, life saving, community advisor; the “Community Host” of the new era. They will provide the answers to the most common questions a newcomer has about the community. While they can tell them all about shopping in their community and give them the name of the scout leader, they will leave the crazy cat lady to someone else (they are professionals after all).
In addition, Our Hosts will present the newcomers with a great Gift Packet that contains the goodies, marketing gifts, and product information from our community-minded business sponsors, YOU!
Every town needs a community host. With our help, you can be the first to invite these potential new buyers to your door. Your presence in our Gift Packet Program will help ensure that you reach new profit goals.
*All potential sponsors must provide references or be recommended to our staff by a satisfied client/customer. A good community reputation is a must. We ensure that our newcomers receive the best referrals possible. This policy guarantees that you will only be represented with the "best". A win-win for all of us.
