Earlier this year I had an idea to create a directory of businesses within the subdivision that I live and work in. So I sent out 1000 letters to the homeowners suggesting the idea and giving them a response date. Well, I had an overwhelming response and put together the business directory. By the way, I hired a graphic designer and had them professionally printed! I didn't want them to look to homemade.

I then hand delivered some and hired a local teen to walk the streets and hand deliver them too. The comments and feedback have been terrific. I plan to hand them out at open houses and deliver them to new homeowners. I have already had calls and emails asking to be included and when the next print will be.  Next time, I may offer discounts to homeowners etc.

What a wonderful idea! Keeping busiiness local and everyone feels like part of it. It sounds like it would be great to hand out at your closings.

Wow, thats a great idea.  I live in a gated community/country club in Boca Raton, Florida, maybe I should try that.  At a trade show a few years ago a company was marketing Web Sites with each developments name as the Web address.  The idea was to have a Web Site devoted to the homeowners of the said community which you set up and ran, with local businesses advertising, which would pay for your site.
