Parent Company, The Dwyer Group, Launches New Website

2.  In early April, Molly Maid’s parent company, The Dwyer Group, launched a new umbrella company called Neighborly. After a months-long project to assemble a data warehouse and crunch numbers, The Dwyer Group discovered that only 2 percent of customers used more than one of the 13 franchises it owns. In addition to Molly Maid, The Dwyer Group owns other home service brands such as Mr. Rooter, Mr. Handyman, The Ground Guys, and Window Genie.

3.  When customers sign up on the Neighborly website, they are sent a survey asking them to rate their experience after being serviced by one of The Dwyer Group’s companies. Customers are then directed to check out the company’s other brands. According to the company, over 2,000 people have registered on the Neighborly website just one month after the launch.
