In the heart of Preston, there’s a legacy of community and support that runs deep. It all started with Pansy Wilson, the matriarch of the Preston family, who believed that businesses should stick together to build stronger communities. Now, her legacy lives on through the Preston Business Alliance program, spearheaded by Lisa Schmitt, the Business Development Manager for Preston.
Pansy Wilson, along with her sons Dave Sr., Earl, and HG, instilled in the family the importance of businesses supporting one another. This belief became the cornerstone of the Preston Business Alliance, where businesses come together to uplift each other and their community.
Joining the alliance is simple. Lisa Schmitt personally meets with each business to understand their needs, whether it’s the size of their team or specific challenges they’re facing. Once on board, businesses receive a unique code that unlocks a world of benefits tailored just for them.
What sets the Preston Business Alliance apart is its commitment to customization. No two businesses are alike, so each partnership is crafted to fit their unique requirements. Businesses receive personalized assistance that aligns with their requirements, whether it’s gaining access to specialized services, exploring partnership opportunities, or enjoying discounted memberships at Preston’s gym, Beau Monde Elite Fitness.
At its core, the program is driven by a sense of community and giving back. There are no costs or agreements—just an invitation to be a part of something bigger and support the community that supports them. It’s Preston’s way of saying, “We’re here for you.”
But the benefits don’t stop with the businesses themselves. Employees also reap the rewards, with perks like mobile services that save time and money, along with special pricing on various amenities. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
Already, businesses like Tidal Health, Caroline County Public Schools, Choptank Electric Cooperative, Summit Community Bank, and more have joined the program. With over 40 companies on board and growing every day, the Preston Business Alliance is making a real impact in the community.
One touching example of the program’s impact is a customer who had never purchased from Preston before. After a bad experience elsewhere, they were hesitant to seek service again. But thanks to the convenience of on-site servicing provided through the program, they were spared the hassle of taking a vacation day to get things sorted. It’s moments like these that highlight the true value of community support.
In essence, the Preston Business Alliance program is more than just a business initiative—it’s a testament to the power of collaboration, compassion, and community. Through Lisa Schmitt’s dedication and the enduring legacy of the Preston family, businesses in Preston aren’t just thriving—they’re building a stronger, more connected community, one partnership at a time!
