Movers and Shakers: John Chambliss Becomes New Owner for RSVP Sarasota

John Chambliss

SARASOTA – RSVP Publications announces John Chambliss as the new franchise owner of RSVP Sarasota. John brings a wealth of experience from 20 years with Hillenbrand, Inc., a Fortune 500 company. As one of their top sales executives, John consulted with small businesses to find ways to help them grow and be profitable with Hillenbrand products, including advertising.

John received RSVP luxury card packs at his home in Sarasota and was an active consumer who used the post card offers. After using an offer from Mr. Sandless to refinish his floors, he learned from the advertiser that the RSVP Sarasota franchise was for sale.  

"I was impressed with RSVP and what Neil had to say about them," said John, "and I had the ambition to be my own boss. Neil Bass at Mr. Sandless of Sarasota introduced me to the RSVP franchisee, and the end result was that I achieved my dream of owning my own business by purchasing the RSVP Sarasota franchise."

"My goal with my RSVP business isto create a diverse and interesting collection of advertising that consumers look forward to receiving in the mail, and gets great response for my clients," said John.

"We also now have expanded RSVP products that provide more ways for businesses to generate qualified leads from local affluent homeowners," John added. "We offer the RSVP New Homeowners monthly mailing, and the RSVP Radius Mailing program. New movers are a highly desirable segment for many businesses, and this helps our clients get in frontof those newest households every month. The Radius program makes it easy for businesses to mail the nearest homes around a job site, a tried and true marketing tactic. The on-demand system is easy to use and like all of our RSVP products, it is very cost efficient."

John is a native Floridian and 21-year resident of Sarasota. Born and raised in Jacksonville, John holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of North Florida. He is active in the community through his church and the Manatee Chamber of Commerce.

Come meet John at the Manatee Chamber of Commerce on Friday, May 28th at 3 P.M. Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
