Notes: 1. Philatelic retail units must submit unsold migratory bird stamps that are more than 2 years old to the stamp destruction committee by AP 8 for SDO offices and by AP 7 for SSC offices. 2. Offices designated as philatelic outlets are the only outlets that should have an ending bird stamp inventory on the AP 9 of Postal Quarter III statement of account. These offices should list inventory of migratory bird stamps by year of issue and face value in the remarks section of the statement of account. Philatelic offices reporting under SAFR/SS/A should maintain detailed accountability of their bird stamp inventory locally. Additional instructions can be found in Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting Procedures, section 427, Handling Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, which is available via the Postal Service PolicyNet Web site at http://blue.usps.gov/cpim; click on HBKs. - Revenue and Field Accounting,

New Year Drive Period Here's a resolution to get 2003 off to a successful start - focus on the small-business customer. This is the theme for the New Year retail drive period, which runs through March 22. You'll notice that the new point-of-purchase (POP) signs, which should be on display now in all Postal Service lobbies, features owners of small businesses and how the Postal Service helps them retain their customers. The Postal Service does this by providing services that small businesses frequently use, like Priority Mail® service with Signature ConfirmationTM service and Express Mail® service.
During this drive period, make sure to look for opportunities to educate small-business customers on Postal Service products and services that best fit their mailing needs. And don't forget to suggest those extra services that business folk especially need.
Also new in 2003: The Employee Mailbox, your retail calendar for January, has been redesigned to include all the important New Year retail drive period information on one attractive poster. If you don't see it on display in the employee work area of your office, check with your manager or postmaster.
Let's resolve to focus on the small-business customer this new year!
Business Solutions There's a new destination in retail lobbies for small-business
Display customers to get information on how to grow and manage their businesses with products and services available from the Postal Service. Retail Marketing is rolling out a Business Solutions display to 6,875 select Post Offices nationwide, including the largest and highest revenue-producing locations.
The display will hold up to 19 brochures, with the capability of converting six holders to three CD holders, depending on the product offerings for any given drive period. This display will eliminate clutter and present a more professional, consistent look to lobbies.
There are three phases to the rollout of the display materials. Shipments in the first phase - during the week of December 30 - went to select Post Offices in the Capital Metro, New York, and Northeast areas. These should arrive by January 10. The next phase will occur during the week of January 27, with shipments going to select Post Offices in the Eastern and Great Lakes areas. Materials for the third phase will ship during the week of February 25 to select Post Offices in the Southeast, Southwest, Western, and Pacific areas.
Each shipment includes the display, set-up instructions, eight brochures, and planogram.
Pull the pens Last year, from September 1 through November 30, all Post Offices participated in American Express's double "Membership Rewards" points promotion. In support of this promotion, POP kit "A" offices received pens that were placed near the full service counter line or the case wrap area. As with all in-store campaigns, these POP elements should have been removed at the end of the promotion. Alas, it seems the pens are still out there in some retail units. Please help us stay in good graces with our business partners and pull the pens!
Retail merchandise It doesn't arrive by magic. Under the new Official Licensed Retail Product program, you must order the retail merchandise you plan to sell in your lobbies - it's not automatically distributed. And, of course, you must be a participating office in the program to get products. The new Winter/Spring line of merchandise is now available and can be ordered through the hardcopy catalog or viewed at http://blue.usps.gov; click on Headquarters, then Retail, then Merchandise, then OLRP - Official Licensing Retail Product Program. You can also purchase the products through eBuy at http://ebuy.usps.gov. Need a catalog? Contact your district retail manager.
