Strategic Partner Spotlight
New in our Council Corner newsletter, we're highlighting our 2022 Strategic Partners. You may have had the chance to meet them at the Midyear Meeting, but we wanted to do a brief one-on-one interview to find out everything a Women's Council member should know and why you should do business with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®.
Q: What does your business do?
A: TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is the largest franchised moving company both in the United States and internationally. Currently, there are more than 375 locations and 3,000 trucks operating in 46 U.S. states in addition to Canada, Ireland, and the UK. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has performed more than 9 million moves since its inception in 1985 and has seen consistent monthly growth dating back to December 2009. Each location is independently owned and operated. As the “Movers Who Care®” we offer a wide variety of services from moving, junk removal, storage, and packing services.
Q: Why are you interested in a partnership with Women’s Council of REALTORS®?
A: The Women's Council of Realtors has 12,000 current members and is known for advancing women as business leaders in the real estate industry. Working together we can help create local business connections as well as provide customers with special offers and tips and tricks when it comes to all things moving, packing, storage, and junk removal.
Q: What should Women’s Council members know about your business that not everyone may know but you’d like them to?
A: Since the beginning, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has put a focus on giving back to the community. Our Movers for Moms® campaign is a national giving program aimed at assisting moms in need by collecting donations and delivering them to women’s and family shelters each Mother’s Day. Each individual franchise partners with local businesses, schools, and other organizations to collect essential care items for women staying in or receiving support from these shelters. Once all donations are collected, our move teams pick up and deliver the items on or around Mother’s Day. This campaign continues to hold a special place in our hearts as TWO MEN AND A TRUCK was founded by a single mom and her three children.
Q: Where should Women’s Council members look to find out more information about your business?
A: Members can go to our website and find their nearest franchise or visit us on Facebook for more information.
We also offer a special program just for Realtors called the Realtor Referral Program. This program provides realtors with $50 gift cards for their clients to use toward TWO MEN AND A TRUCK moving services. The local franchise provides these gift cards to the real estate partner once a connection is made. The real estate partner can then distribute these cards to their clients, and the clients present these cards to the franchise during the estimate process or on the move to receive $50 off their services. The Realtor Referral Program was created to provide TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchises with a way to build partnerships with local real estate companies, and to help Realtors offer special deals to their clients.
