The nation?s leading provider of neighborhood marketing programs, Connecting Neighbors now provides more than 10,000 unique neighborhood websites across America, helping local consumers, real estate agents and other service providers stay more connected with their communities and each other.
Reply! services, such as Connecting Neighbors, are growing rapidly because of their unique ability to provide consumers with locally relevant content, valuable decision-making tools and easier access to trusted local service providers and businesses. Connecting Neighbors has more than doubled the number of neighborhoods it serves in the past 18 months. Local service providers, specifically real estate agents, sponsor the websites, along with related neighborhood newsletters, as a community service and powerful online marketing platform.

To service providers, we are simply the most effective way to reach and acquire local customers and clients online.?
Neighborhood marketing programs from Connecting Neighbors include an interactive neighborhood website and newsletter, which provide residents with a wealth of local information, including job openings, community news, classified ads, school information and community updates. The sites also brand local real estate sponsors as the neighborhood real estate expert, with their name, photo and contact information displayed at the bottom of every page. Through the Connecting Neighbors marketing program, real estate agents are dramatically increasing business opportunities and sales.
?More than 5,000 real estate agents have already signed up for Connecting Neighbors? marketing programs,? said Sean Fox, executive vice president of Reply!?s real estate division. ?The program is very popular because it truly helps agents establish a connection with local residents and be viewed as experts who really know and understands their community.?
The continuing growth of Connecting Neighbors is part of the overall expansion and success of Reply! Inc., which in 2005 more than doubled in staff size, closed a funding round of $17 million and made a series of important executive management hires to solidify its position as the leader in local e-marketing & performance based marketing solutions and consumer services.
