About The Welcome Lady Newcomer Services

Boy, were we surprised! We thought it would just be an envelope of coupons. We really enjoyed taking out our "goodies" & will use them! Thanks again! --Lyn & Mike

The Welcome Lady greets newcomers to the area on behalf of local businesses. We put together a nice gift basket full of information about the community. Included in the Welcome Packet is information about local organizations and community events, civic theater and schools, activities for children, medical clinics, recreation opportunities, and more.

In addition, we also give newcomers special gifts, brochures, and coupons from participating businesses.

Our Colville office provides a Welcome Packet to newcomers to the area.

Our Spokane Valley office provides a Welcome Packet to new renters who have recently moved in to an apartment. We partner with a number of apartment complexes to provide this free service. To see a list of participating apartment complexes, check here.

Newcomers to the Colville area and new renters in Spokane Valley love receiving their free Welcome Packet!

Local businesses can benefit from the goodwill that comes from being included in the Welcome Packet. All you have to do to take advantage of this unique marketing opportunity is to sign up and furnish a brochure, coupon or gift as a way of introducing your business to newcomers. We'll do the rest. In addition to acquiring new customers, you will receive their names and addresses to add to your customer list.

All in all, it's a win-win situation. The newcomer gets an introduction to the area and to local businesses via a wonderful gift basket, while the business sponsors get an introduction to the newcomers who are just getting acquainted with the community.

The Welcome Lady is based on an old-fashioned, home town business model. We will introduce your business to newcomers in a cordial, friendly manner. This particular form of advertising puts a face on your business and mine.

We promise to represent you in the most positive manner possible - personally!

The advantages of advertising with The Welcome Lady are many:

It is one of the most direct forms of advertising available -- we put your promotional item directly into the newcomer's hand.

It is much more affordable than print, radio, or television advertising.

Your promotional material has a long, long shelf life.

We target the specific audience for you, so you don't have to worry whether or not your promotional material will reach the right audience.

Being a part of the Welcome Lady packet builds customer loyalty. If you give the newcomer an incentive to do business with you, you win their appreciation and loyalty.

You never know who your next best customer will be!

Newcomers love it, which is why this is such an effective marketing tool.

Did you know?

On average, most businesses will lose 20% of their customer base every year as people move out of the community. However, new people are moving in at the same time. Those new people are a crucial part of any business's clientele.

At the same time, new homeowners will spend 20 times the amount of money on home goods that long-time customers do (Spring 1996 Mover Report). That's over $9,400 on home-type goods per new homeowner and approximately $102 billion nationwide on products related to their move (Atlantic Marketing Research, May 2000, and the National Association of REALTORSÆ, 2000).

If you would like The Welcome Lady to represent your business to newcomers, please call or email for a quote. Rates are surprisingly affordable for this highly-effective form of advertising.

Oh, what a surprise! So many goodies & coupons. We really appreciate your welcome! Ron & Charlene
