Neighborhood News, Staff Writer

The importance of neighborhood news is intertwined within the fabric of communities across America. News is a vital part of our everyday lives. We expect to easily obtain this information, especially on matters that impact us directly. Below is a list of the top three reasons why a local Neighbors Choice® franchise is important:

REASON #1 – COMMUNICATION DISCONNECT BETWEEN HOA AND RESIDENTS

Creating a cohesive community is directly impacted by whether a community newsletter or website exists, or not. Many HOA community leaders are at a loss as to how to connect with residents. This difficulty resides in the many ways we communicate today. Finding the right media channel to distribute vital neighborhood news is no small feat for most neighborhood associations.

This is where the local Neighbors Choice® saves the day! Everyone can agree that picking up a printed newsletter that has been delivered right to your door or email inbox is incredibly convenient. The fact that there is zero cost for this service is just icing on the cake.

REASON #2 – COMMUNITY NEWS FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE

Reliable neighborhood news is expected by residents of their HOA.  Regular and reliable information meets community expectations and HOA notification guidelines. It also fosters the relationship between the two. Information is the most important asset in business and in the community. Having the support of the HOA and the neighborhood can be a powerful indicator of the value of living in the neighborhood, not to mention a tremendous impact to the quality of life.

Today’s residents want advance notice of neighborhood events, meetings, closures, elections, maintenance, repair, crime prevention and stats, and an abundance of other issues and announcements. The sooner our neighbors are alerted, the more included and secure they feel. Thus begins the building of steppingstones to a better relationship between HOA’s and community residents and a better quality of life for all.

REASON #3 – BRINGING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY BACK TOGETHER

When residents feel that their voice and needs matter to HOA management, they are more likely to talk about what a great neighborhood they live in with family and friends, This creates seemingly organic-type marketing that flows naturally.

Newsletter franchise owners can help by encouraging HOA’s to start organizing Local Neighborhood News Committees built up with local neighborhood residents. This is a great way to get residents involved in neighborhood affairs. Many residents would like to participate in helping their neighborhood or volunteering however, they are unaware that these opportunities exist.

This is the perfect opportunity for those yearning to make a positive difference in the world around you. Being a franchisee is so much more than printing and distributing newsletters or building websites, it is the glue that binds neighbors together.

Franchise Field: Community Involvement

July 30, 2021

Neighborhood Awareness Celebrations

Community involvement is at an all-time high. People are looking for ways to get involved. Plus, many have decided that they want to work at home. Around 4 million people have either changed jobs, started their own business or are looking for an opportunity that will give them that luxury.

A Neighbors Choice® franchise is a unique opportunity to work at home while helping to establish or enhance communication within area neighborhoods. Your business will create a valuable partnership between local businesses and residents. This unique relationship makes for better and more authentic information, more active neighbors, and a more positive environment.  The more you become involved in your community the more you will see the need for good communication.

You will learn about many resources available to neighborhoods. This knowledge will help you in your business and help your local community.  For example, National Night Out and Neighbor Awareness Day are two annual events that work to help promote relationships among neighbors and promote safety and “Good Neighbor” awareness.

National Night Out – August 3 & October 5

“National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.” NNO dates back to 1970 when a community watch volunteer was on a mission to help his community. National Night Out was officially introduced in 1984. Since then, 16,000 communities and over 38 million neighbors have taken part in this annual event. National Night Out is celebrated on the first Tuesday in August except in Texas and a few other places it is celebrated the on the first Tuesday in October. Registration is free. Resources to help plan National Night Out events will be provided to you.

National Good Neighbor Day – September 28

“In 1978, U.S. President Jimmy Carter announced the creation of a national day aimed at raising public awareness that good neighbors help achieve human understanding and build strong, thriving communities. Since then, National Good Neighbor Day has been celebrated every year on September 28th.”   Their motto is “Good Neighbors Make Great Neighborhoods” and ask participants to pledge to be a good neighbor and practice the Good Neighbor Mindset.

We’re on a mission to spread the word about our micro-local publication services. Our franchise partners have the opportunity to build authentic connections with community leaders and businesses of all sizes by providing ad space. This brings the unique opportunity to be a community-oriented entrepreneur, all with a low investment range.

After 25 years of running a successful business model, we serve nearly 100 communities throughout Texas in major markets such as Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. Now, with continued growth on the horizon, we are looking to expand across Texas and Arizona.

“Our concept has evolved over the years, becoming a valuable resource for communities throughout Texas, and it’s truly a win-win-win proposition for everyone involved,” said Susan Schopp, President, and CEO of Neighbors Choice™. “Community leadership teams win, the small business advertisers win, and we have the pleasure of helping residents connect through subject matters that are relevant and valuable to their local areas. We are thrilled to begin franchising with like-minded entrepreneurs who want to invest in and build a community-centered business, provide news that’s close to home, and reap the rewards from our proven system.”

While franchisees work with neighborhood groups to build their territory, they also sell ad space to local business owners. Our corporate team then facilitates the collection and placement of the newsletter content, printing, and distribution process. Franchisees receive comprehensive training and support while selling a variety of products and services that improve and enhance the communication between the local business community and neighborhood residents.

In addition to providing recurring revenue, our model gives franchisees the flexibility to work from home in their designated territory and bridge the gap between residents and business owners. We are currently seeking well-qualified, dynamic salespeople who are passionate about being involved in their community.
