OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPANDED COMMUNICATION
• North Attleboro is always looking for ways to improve communication with residents
• Increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets• Challenge of email as form of communication (how
many unread emails do you currently have?)• Hectic lives put pressure on alarms, reminders and
notifications• Many other forms of communication are not proactive
(Facebook, town website) and rely on someone checking in
5
TIMING AND LAUNCH
• Contracted in January 2015• First town on platform• Remyndr built the entire database for North
Attleboro. We supplied addresses, pickup details and collection calendar
• Live in March 2015o Presentation to Board of Selectmeno Promotion on website, Facebooko Article in local papero Coverage on local TVo Ongoing outreach

households (10.4% penetration)• Very positive feedback from residents. Many have
become used to notifications and appreciate reminders for less frequent collections such as Yard Waste
• Ongoing outreach needed• Awarded certificate for
“Innovation & Creativity” thanks to integration of Remyndr into town communications
