Risk Free Virtual Spec Building
We have developed a risk free virtual spec building in which you can choose 3 different sq. ft. options totally customizable to your desires. We place our virtual spec buildings on certified sites and they can be customized for the types of targeted industries you seek to recruit. They can be aerospace hangars, food grade buildings, heavy industrial, light industrial, distribution centers, etc. Additionally, we place a “Caller ID Web Hit Tracker” on each virtual building so you get to see the companies hitting your building and which options they click!

We send 60 emails per week for our clients to executives of companies in sectors our clients are targeting. We have software which gives our clients analytics on the executives which open and click the emails, so our clients can reach out to them to generate prospects for their communities or organizations.

Targeted Industry Study with Caller ID Webpages
We use the following formula to help you determine which targeted industries you can most likely attract to your community:
Step 1: Initial screening criteria (4 digit NAICS level)
- Three or establishments in the region
- Region industry employment greater than 200 (smaller number in small regions)
- Industry employment increased in the last 5 yrs
- Location Quotient exceeds 1.00
- Shift share regional competitiveness (last 5 yrs) positive
- Base sector firms
Step 2: Value Chain
- Select the top industries from Step 1 with the most in-region purchases within a one-hour drive time region
Step 3: Ranking Industries
- US industry employment growth
- Average production wages
- Income multipliers
Once we work with you to determine what your targeted industry sectors should be, we then go a step further than any other consulting firm. Not only do we deliver the study to you in a file, we write content for your website with all the data possible to show why your area is attractive to those type companies.

Strategic Planning
Most clients tell us their favorite part of the process is the rapid fire, sticky note session we do to get everyone’s ideas up on a wall for brainstorming and research! While most consultants deliver a boring strategic plan that sits on a shelf, we deliver an action plan with specific examples from news articles concerning other communities who have taken a similar action showing that if you take this action you will likely achieve this result motivating the entire community to start taking action!

We can visit your community and work to build you a comprehensive strategy to use multiple products to truly create an entire marketing strategy which will help you create prospects.

Workforce Advantage Analysis
Are you tired of only hearing bad things about your workforce? Let us analyze the strengths of your workforce. And once we have done that, let us build you content to add to your website which outlines all the good parts of your workforce. If we find negative issues along the way, we will alert you to them, but we won’t put them in a report for your competitors to read and use against you. Additionally, static workforce reports have a quick shelf life, to address this we update our product every year, so you never have to worry about your workforce analysis getting old and stale.

Organizational Development / Fundraising

Many community leaders have asked us to either help them refocus an organization to take it to a higher level, develop a new organization from scratch, or raise money for an organization. No matter which of these 3 things we are helping them do, we believe being successful with them all revolves around one thing: leveraging or creating a set of goals the community as a whole has “buy in” to accomplish. Once we understand the goals the community wants to accomplish, we then detail multiple strategies to accomplish those goals with projected costs for each option and projected return on investment for each strategy. This way we aren’t just telling an organization or community what to do, we are supplying them multiple options to choose from of best practices, so they build the plan with which they are most comfortable. Once the strategy is built, we can help you raise the money to fund each action item because there will be “buy in” from the community at large.

LOIS Buildings/Sites

As site selectors, nothing frustrates us more than trying to navigate a buildings and sites database that is cumbersome to use, slow, or doesn’t work easily on an ipad or iphone. When we saw the LOIS update recently we reached out to them and asked if we could endorse LOIS as the best buildings/sites database on the market. It works just as well on our ipad as it does on a computer, meets all our needs, and is fast. Simply put, it’s the best buildings and sites database we have found.

Servicing Small to Mid-Sized Communities and Economic Development Organizations Across America
Why is Next Move Group So Driven
To Help Small to Mid-Sized Communities and Organizations Create Economic Growth?
Our founder's childhood was negatively affected in such a community when a Fortune 100 company closed a 500-job plant in his hometown to move offshore when he was 9-years old. This closure cost our founder's father his job as well as many other members of his family. These painful memories have left him determined to create economic growth for small and mid-sized communities
