Our Town America
If you’ve ever moved to a new location and weren’t sure of the surroundings, you may have appreciated it if someone had welcomed you. If so, you’re not alone, and Our Town America provides that comfort and warmth that is often wanted.
This home-based franchise provides welcome packages to new residents that feature goods from local businesses. The thinking behind the packages is that if consumers receive a gift from a local store, they will begin shopping there. For this reason, many businesses are eager to have their products included in the packages.
Your job as the franchisee is to seek out these businesses to be included in the packages. You’ll implement your sales skills through the use of the telephone, networking and good-old-fashioned pavement pounding.
The packages are assembled at the Our Town America headquarters. Additionally, most of your marketing essentials, such as graphics, printing, mailing list acquisition and surveys are taken care of there, allowing you to focus on creating a large customer base for your packages.
Franchisees receive a six-day training course at the franchise’s base in Florida, as well as on-going support in administration services, sales, territories and much more.
You are able to complete a majority of the work out of your home. This makes for an extremely flexible work schedule that allows you to actually live your life, while being your own boss.
