Welcome Package for OC Newcomers

Serving Southern Orange County since 1986 Orange County's Official Welcome Package

Welcome Express has been welcoming newcomers since 1986. We deliver a package of valuable gift certificates and community information to new residents shortly after their move.

An Introduction to Welcome Express

One of the most sought-after consumer groups! Studies have shown this group spends more money in the first 6 months after their move than any other single consumer group spends in a two year period. Welcome Express Reaches ONLY the Newcomer Market

You only have one chance to make a good first impression. Reach out to New Residents--before they become someone else’s customer!

At a most critical time in their lives... they are in a search mode. Their needs, wants, to-do list, and interest level are at an all-time high. This ensures your advertising will have the best opportunity for both Readership and Response. Welcome Express Reaches ONLY the Newcomer Market

The average business loses 20% of their customer base each year — just due to attrition. Why not replace them with newcomers — who are seeking new services for their home and family and places to dine and shop.

Orange County has a large number of newcomers. Statistics like these are seen regularly in our local newspapers.

The following map is ever changing and being up-dated regularly. It will help when determining where new housing developments are currently being built, or considered.

Welcome Express is the “official welcome package of South Orange County.” We partner with cities, chambers and community organizations to bring an impressive package of tools and valuable resources to help the newcomer get settled into their new home. This is the ONLY package of this type they will receive.

The purpose is to provide more than just advertising. The information provided has a long shelf life and will be referred to over and over again.

The first part of the package includes helpful civic and community information. For example, they will receive a letter from the mayor of their city and the director of their chamber of commerce personally welcoming them to the community - a nice personal touch! In addition, most cities provide specific information about their area. For example…

Voter Forms

Driver’s License Change of Address

Church Guides

City and Chamber Information

Civic Information

Welcome letter from Mayor of city

Welcome letter from local Chamber of Commerce

Worship Directory

We also provide all local websites and phone numbers the newcomer will need to refer to in a precise, directory format. This makes it much easier to reference than the “big yellow book.”

The large 10x13 envelope – designed to “stand out from the crowd” – weighs nearly 1 pound!

The eye-catching, 3-panel Presentation Folder houses all the civic information and gifts from local businesses in a large 4-color envelope.
