Your Neighborhood Business

Your Neighborhood Business is a SAMPLE LISTING created to show local business owners how to build a helpful, attractive listing in the NPR Business & Services Directory.

### WHO ARE YOU?

Start by introducing yourself and your business. Tell neighbors who you are, how long you have been doing what you do, and who you typically help.

**Example:**
“Locally owned and operated by a Nelliefield resident with more than 10 years of experience serving homeowners and small businesses.”

### WHAT DO YOU DO?

Describe your main products or services clearly. You do not need to list everything. Focus on the things you most want neighbors to know you provide.

**Example:**
“We provide residential repairs, installations, maintenance and small improvement projects throughout the surrounding neighborhoods.”

### WHERE DO YOU WORK?

Let residents know where you are located or which neighborhoods and areas you serve. Home-based and mobile businesses do not necessarily need to publish a full home address.

### WHEN ARE YOU AVAILABLE?

Include your normal business hours, appointment availability or typical response time so residents know when they can reach you.

### WHY SHOULD A NEIGHBOR CHOOSE YOU?

This is where you explain what makes your business different. Mention experience, local ownership, specialties, convenient service, certifications, free estimates or anything else that gives someone a reason to contact you.

Your listing is your opportunity to introduce your business to your neighbors. Keep it friendly, clear and useful. You do not need fancy marketing language. Simply explain who you are, what you do and how you can help.
