A Premium Retail Business Opportunity with
Wireless Neighborhood®

We have a relationship with Verizon Wireless that allows Wireless Neighborhood® retailers to be “Premium Retailers”.* This entitles them to benefits that many other retailers, even those that sell Verizon Wireless, do not have. For instance, your location may appear in Verizon’s own advertising, be included in their online store-locator or qualify for certain funds. Plus, you’ll get the support of an organization with over 100 employees dedicated to your success. We don’t charge fees of any kind. In fact, we’ll help pay some of your start-up costs!* If you care about giving great customer service, representing the best products and services in the industry, maintaining your own freedom and being a part of a growth opportunity, then request more information today and let’s talk.

Here are just a few of the reasons why becoming a Wireless Neighborhood® retailer is a smart business decision:

The Wireless industry continues to change people’s lives by empowering personal communication, entertainment and business services. Best of all, many areas are growing rapidly including:

• Accessory sales – Expected to grow 38% to US$80 Billion by 2012 (ABI Research).
• Smartphones – Expected to double their market share by 2013 (Wireless Week).
• Mobile Internet – US mobile broadband subscribers will more than triple by 2013 to more than 140 million subscribers in 2013 (Parks and Associates).
• Netbooks – Expected growth of 127% in 2009, from 2008 (IDC, Research Firm).
• Music – Over 48 million songs were downloaded on VZW network in Q1 of 2009 (Verizon).
• Photos & Videos – Over 2.1 Billion photo and video messages were sent on the Verizon network in Q1 of 2009 (Verizon).
• Texting – 127 Billion text messages were sent over the Verizon network in Q1 of 2009 (Verizon).
• Replacing Landlines – 1 in 5 households are “wireless only” (USA Today).
  

As cell phones become more powerful, consumers rely on them more and more. In fact, other than their car, consumers have said the most important technology in their life is their cell phone (Business Weekly).

Verizon Wireless has over 89 Million customers, more than any other carrier in the nation. But, it is not just the biggest carrier. We firmly believe it is the BEST carrier in all of the most important ways.

• Best Network – Verizon Wireless has the largest and most reliable 3G Network in the country, period. Plus, they, more than any other carrier, are rapidly deploying a revolutionary 4G network.
• Best Value – Verizon customers switch carriers at the lowest rate in the industry. That’s because Verizon delivers true value, not just gimmicky promotions and low up-front costs that mask larger coverage charges. Verizon customers pay some of the lowest monthly rates, can access high-end services and can call over 86 million fellow Verizon customers, and up to 10 non-Verizon customers, at no additional charge. No wonder their customers are so loyal.
• Best Brand – Not only is Verizon Wireless one of the most recognizable brands in the world, their name is synonymous with quality products and wireless service. Verizon also consistently wins awards for the best customer service in the industry.
• Best Future – Having the best network, providing the best value and maintaining the industry’s best brand makes for an incredibly bright future. And you can be a part of it!
