On My Doorstep is a network of websites designed to support local businesses and help the community get the most out of living in their area. On My Doorstep websites provide a wealth of local information including events, weather, news, jobs, a gallery of local images, useful contact details (doctors, dentist etc) and a comprehensive business directory; information that attracts people to the website over and over again.
A local business for local people!
It is a well-known fact that most residents in a town would prefer to use a business or service available locally rather than one from miles away. They appreciate that to do so can save them considerable time and money, as well as being beneficial to the environment. With the apparently ever-escalating cost of travel, people are increasingly seeking services and businesses that can satisfy their requirements locally.
The downside of operating a small local business is that often the potential customer base in their area has never heard of them and might not be aware that such a service exists. They could be exactly what the customers are looking for but, unless they have an expensive high-street presence or spend ludicrous amounts on advertising, they could remain anonymous to the very town they aim to serve. On My Doorstep is the answer to this problem, we unlock the potential for businesses to deal with local customers. The On My Doorstep franchise opportunity

After having a bad experience with a previous franchisor in a different line of business, I was acutely aware of the potential pitfalls and had a clear idea of the basic operational requirements needed to make things work. On My Doorstep ticked all the right boxes and it was clear from the outset that the Franchisor clearly understood how to run a successful franchise operation.
The franchise has been well thought out, the system well-designed and the operating tools, training and technical support are excellent. The whole thing works in a spirit of trust and mutual respect which makes it very easy to concentrate on the prime issues – growing and developing the business.
After 3 months of working in a business sector that was completely new to me, I have nothing but praise for the guys at On My Doorstep – they have been patient and supportive, provided training and guidance, been open and consultative and, most important, allowed me the freedom and flexibility to develop and grow the business the way I want to do it.
The On My Doorstep franchisor clearly recognises that it is the franchisees and their entrepreneurial spirit that make it all work. Many Franchises seem to want to impose sets of rules, reporting structures and big-brother type interference, which tends to restrict this spirit. The way On My Doorstep has been set up means that franchisees can devote all their time and energy into growing the business rather than justifying it.

My first thoughts on this type of business were very negative because there were so many other online directories, but after seeing all the others, and comparing them to OnMyDoorstep.co.uk, OnMyDoorstep came out streaks ahead of any of the others; it’s in a league of its own. It’s so much more than just a directory, and the potential for growth as a business is an inspiration and motivation on its own.
