Our goal is for every store to use Loud & Clear! for every community relations initiative. Just six months into the program, program use is already higher than expected.

Summer usage stats:

• 23 stores called into the program — unsolicited — asking for help.

• 22 of those stores went forward with an L&C! initiative.

• Another 17 L&C! initiatives resulted from our monthly calls checking in with stores.

Delilah Marlow, Albuquerque ETL, on Operation Cleanup:

"A year ago, we probably wouldn’t have done anything for publicity. With Loud & Clear it is so easy."

Maria Orozco, Plaza Bonita STL, on a local grant:

"Loud & Clear made it really easy for me to spread responsibilities to my team members. I use to do all this stuff myself."
