New website for Swindon Family Grapevine
Swindon Family Grapevine has just launched a brand new website. The editor, Sheridan Parsons, writes: “I hope you like the look of our new site. I have had great fun designing it! Among the most important things we wanted to include on this site were the listings, rather like the ones in the magazine, but extended and with website links.”
Freedom from Franchising
This week The Family Grapevine announced to its franchisees that they are reviewing their franchise contract and converting it into a licence to use the trademarks and provide territory protection. The response to this move from existing franchisees has been very positive. The present members of The Family Grapevine’s network have always valued their freedom, and this development will give them as much independence as possible to operate in the way they choose.
Shrewsbury and Telford franchisee gets a boost from the Internet
Tina, our Shrewsbury and Telford franchisee is delighted with the way that both she and her customers have benefitted from the Internet. Since she built a very simple website for the Shrewsbury and Telford Family Grapevine a year ago, her turnover has increased significantly and she has even added additional pages to her publication to accommodate the extra advertising. “I’m a big believer in the power of networking and the Internet is the ideal place to reach new people.”

A new Family Grapevine is coming to Mid Devon
We are thrilled to welcome Jo Angell to The Family Grapevine! Jo writes: “I decided that The Family Grapevine would benefit Mid Devon after speaking with lots of local Mums who were experiencing the same frustrations as me, trying to find out what’s going on! We all know there is no handbook for parenting. The Family Grapevine is at the very least an invaluable tool in helping Mums and Dads keep themselves sane and their kids occupied. To be honest I can’t wait for the first edition for my own reference!”
