Follow on Google News | Our Town, the Nation’s Leading New Mover Welcoming Franchise, Comes To PittsburghEver evolving franchise system to open newest franchise location in Pittsburgh
By: 919 Marketing “We are happy to welcome Denis & Christine to the Our Town family,” said Michael Plummer, President of Our Town America. “We are confident that their entrepreneurial spirit, marketing and sales experience and professional character will enable them to succeed as our newest franchise location. It is an exciting time for the Our Town brand as we continue to move into untapped markets and connect local businesses with new and searching audiences.” A Pittsburgh native, Denis resides in Coraopolis with his wife and twin daughters. Despite spending the last eleven years in corporate sales, most recently with KOHLER Company, Denis is not a first-time entrepreneur. 15 years ago, he bought and renovated a 100-year old house, employed a staff of 12, and successfully launched Bella Christine Salon with his wife. Denis says it is that experience with the salon that inspired him to open his own Our Town franchise. “I didn’t truly understand the value of marketing until my wife and I built our own business from scratch,” said Byrd. “Christine and I know how much of a struggle it can be to build brand awareness and customer loyalty so we are excited to make it easier for Pittsburgh companies to reach new customers. First impressions can’t be undervalued – it will be our job to make sure our partners put their best face forward when new families move to the area. We are eager to start building Our Town’s Pittsburgh presence by helping local companies do just that.” Since 1972, Our Town has made it their business to welcome families into new neighborhoods with personalized welcoming packages. They have recently added the Tru Trak digital barcode and custom, full-color postcard mailings to enable their sponsors to better reach and follow up with potential customers.
