    •  

    Our clients receive monthly prospect lists of all the newcomers visited on their behalf, which includes the newcomers name, address, subdivision, phone number and email address (when available). This information is vital for tracking results and for future business development.We feel it is important to our clients to get the most advertising for their money, not only will we focus on newcomers we will reach existing residents by distributing the magnetic signs to 50% of the community in the 1st year. How will we do this? By attending community events, mailing inserts and displaying the magnetic signs at our client’s place of businesses.

    "Kernersville News"

    "With today's economy our small businesses are taking a beating. I know several businesses that have said they can not afford to advertise but on the other hand they can not afford NOT to advertise", said Beverly McKenzie owner of Hometown Connection. That's why Hometown Connection is focusing on small business in need of strong advertising. Hometown Connections will be distributing 20,000 magnetic phone directories to residents in the Kernersville area for our local businesses, this is a 12 by 14 quick reference phone directory that can be hung on refrigerators with local businesses names and numbers to help narrow the search for the shopper and will help support our local businesses. Hometown Connections will also greet newcomers to the area with gift baskets from our local business. Our goal is to be a one on one sales representative for each of our clients making sure they get the best advertising for their money.

    Kernersville History

    Welcome to Kernersville, NC We’ve been expecting you. Come in, relax, and experience the warm embrace of a vibrant community brimming with opportunities.
    In the beginning of the town’s history, we find Joseph Körner (Kerner), the town’s namesake founder. He purchased the crossroads property (now Main Street and Mountain Street) because he realized it had unprecedented long-term economic value.

    In short, the property was acquired in 1756 by Caleb Story as an original land grant from the English Royal Colony of Carolina. The land then passed to David Morrow, before being acquired by William Dobson. Dobson added to the acreage and improved the property by building an inn and a store at the crossroads.

    However, Kernersville really inherited its tenacious spirit from Körner, who purchased the crossroads in 1817. Körner, originally from Germany, built his fortune in America through business and real estate transactions. When he finally settled in Kernersville, he had a plan.
    In his brief 13 years, between the time he arrived and his untimely death in 1830, he had successfully owned and operated a hotel-tavern and store, managed a plantation, manufactured hardware, and operated a mill. He left a legacy of order, thrift, prosperity, and tolerance.
    Years later, as demand for light manufacturing increased while agriculture decreased, Kernersville made the change seamlessly. And even today, Kernersville is approaching the future with a plan and a willingness to embrace change.

    The plan — Kernersville 2020 Strategic Plan — looks 20 years into the future. It will ensure that as history is being recorded everyday, that Kernersville will always be proud of its yesterdays.
