One of the nation’s oldest moving companies – North American Van Lines – is offering a free, online guide for household moving, including community and school information.
(Vocus) December 2, 2009 -- North American Van Lines, one of the top moving companies, announces the release of its free online movers’ guide - designed to help homeowners prepare for their next relocation. Among other topics, the interactive guide covers moving tips, local community data, school information and more, all free to use through the company’s Web site at http://www.navl.com/movers-guide.
“Moving an entire household seems like a giant task, but it’s really a matter of managing all the details. The movers’ guide from North American Van Lines can not only help simplify the process of moving, but can provide homeowners better insight into where they are moving to,” says Jeffrey Williams, Web Marketing Manager at SIRVA. “Whether it’s a move across town or a move across the country, North American Van Lines and its new guide are great resources to plan, start and finish the moving process.”
The new guide covers all aspects of the moving process, from planning and packing to tips while on the move. The guide explains how movers from North American Van Lines work and move items, and discusses the protection options available for everyday and high value items. Other planning topics are discussed as well, such as how to help children adjust to a move, how to move with pets, and how to move with large and/or valuable items, such as electronics and automobiles.
Also discussed are packing options available from North American Van Lines, as well as helpful do-it-yourself packing tips. Packing preparation and professional tips, such as how to pack particular items and what not to pack, are also included in the guide.
In addition to covering the moving and packing process, the guide also features helpful and informative tools to help homeowners learn more about their new communities or the communities they are considering moving to. With the company’s community information report, users can look up information about population, housing, weather, crime, education and employment statistics for any city in the country. People can search by city, county and ZIP code and can even compare cities against one another. Users can also request a free moving quote from any city search result page, so they can quickly learn what it would cost to move to the locations they find.
The movers’ guide also provides in-depth information about public, private and Catholic schools and districts across the country. On top of researching schools in a given city or ZIP code, users can search for schools by name, district and address. Search results provide a general school profile, including calendar year, money spent for pupil, community educational climate and more. The results also break down the number of students per grade, number of classrooms and student-to-teacher ratio. Special features and programs available at each school are also referenced.
“As a full service moving company, North American Van Lines understands the importance of making informed moving decisions. Thanks to its movers’ guide and community and school reports, the company makes this possible for all homeowners,” Williams says.
