Doing Business with The Plain Community

The Plain Community refers to groups such as the Amish and conservative Mennonites who embrace a simpler way of life. These communities prioritize faith, family and tradition, often abstaining from modern conveniences in favor of a more modest and self-sufficient existence. Their strong work ethic and commitment to community values set them apart from mainstream society.

Given their limited use of digital technology, a subscription to PCBE provides access to a wide range of products and services essential to their daily lives and businesses from suppliers and service providers who understand their unique needs.

Plain Communities Business Exchange also caters to the community’s entrepreneurial interests and cultural values. Each issue showcases new and successful companies and provides insights about common business challenges. Readers also enjoy guest articles about homesteading, healthy living and nostalgic stories celebrating their shared heritage.

Many businesses find PCBE is the best place to advertise woodworking and metalworking equipment, hardware, cordless tools, auctions, pneumatics and hydraulics, shows, real estate, and many other items to the Plain Community.

Print publications are the Plain Community’s connection to other businesses so there are few distractions from other media such as websites, social media posts, online ads, and e-newsletters. PCBE advertisers increase their brand awareness not only through the publication but through the word-of-mouth referrals within the Plain Community.

Our Non-Plain advertisers appreciate the industrious and entrepreneurial spirit of the Plain Community. The trust built between members of these groups can turn into long-term, strategic, and profitable partnerships.
