New lobby signs coming! Why the exclamation point? Of course you're aware that new lobby signs arrive at all Postal ServiceTM retail units at the beginning of every new drive period, typically every three months. But in this case we're not talking about those point-of-purchase (POP) promotional signs. What we're talking about here is continuity menuboards - the panels displayed above or behind the retail counter in our full service lobbies. They're being replaced June 1. Better viewing for our customers! Better selling for us!
The term "continuity" refers to elements that are designed to be on display continually unless the rates and services they depict need to be updated. After much research and consumer input, we've created new blue menuboards with new graphic elements. These signs are easier to read and provide more details about our products and services - and the offerings are grouped in a more logical manner to better help our customers as they make their purchase decisions.
Look for the continuity signage kits to arrive at the end of this month. Some offices will get a new menuboard that promotes passport services, money orders, and more. Be sure to follow the planogram so customers can feast their eyes on our new menu ... boards beginning in June!
Follow the arrows Everything's up to date in your Post OfficeTM when you follow the arrows on your signage. They tell you when to put up the POP - and just as important, when to take it down. Be sure your POP is current. Tax time info still on display? It shouldn't be. Check out the Advertising website at http://blue.usps.gov/advertising for everything you wanted to know about retail POP - and much more!
Small
Dog bite posters National Dog-Bite Prevention Week is May 16-22. In support of this campaign, posters are being sent to 10,000 retail units. There are two 18" by 24" posters - one intended for employees and the other for customer display. Both are titled, "The Usual Suspects," and depict dogs posing in a "lineup." However, please note the different messages intended for difference audiences.
The employee poster says, "Did you include me on the Dog Warning Card (PS Form 1778)?" This poster is intended for an internal audience and should be displayed near the carrier work floor. The customer awareness poster says, "Be a responsible pet owner - Your carrier will appreciate it." This poster should be displayed in the PO Box lobby.
Both posters should be removed at the end of the spring drive period, June 30.
FIRSTCLASS Sell them and you could win! The FIRSTCLASS
PHONECARDS PHONECARD® contest is now under way. From May 1 through May 28, Post Offices in each area will compete against each other to sell the most FIRSTCLASS PHONECARDS of any denomination. A grand prize will be awarded in each area - how about $1,000 worth of new appliances for your break room? Winning offices will be notified in mid-June.
Also coming to some offices - a new Global International Phone Card will be tested in select locations during June. These offices will receive an information sheet along with a counter display and a shipment of the new cards.
Let your customers know USPS® offers FIRSTCLASS PHONECARDS for sale - be sure they are displayed properly. Remember: A "mystery shopper" could be looking for them. If you need to order more or report any phone cards that are stolen, call 800-297-0521. If you have questions about any of these program initiatives, contact Dean Davis at 202-268-2347.
Disks on display America Online (AOL) start-up disks will continue to be available in Post Office lobbies.
However, USPS personnel will no longer be responsible for assembling and stocking the displays. Under a new agreement that began April 7, AOL merchandise representatives will assume these duties. Managers of retail units should designate one location in the lobby for the display (preferably the writing table - the display should not be placed in the PO Box section).
AOL will continue to mail shipments of its CD-ROMs to USPS locations. Store them until an AOL merchandiser visits your office. This representative will:
Request the box of AOL CD-ROMs.
Record stock levels/replenish the supply/place reorders.
Set up the new AOL display.
Stamps by Mail Effective July 1, Stamps by Mail® brochures will have a new
brochures in the Business Solutions Display (if your office has this display). Just a reminder to refer to Postal Bulletin issues 22120 (1-22-04) and 22121 (2-5-04) for ordering instructions and print deadlines to ensure you have enough brochures to keep your display fully stocked.

If you're planning to purchase tires soon, here's an opportunity for you to save money. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is offering discounts on tires sold by its company- owned stores (including Just Tires) twice a year. In May, Goodyear is extending these special discounts to Postal ServiceTM employees and retirees.
From May 13-17, 2004, Goodyear will offer Postal Service employees and retirees up to a 25 percent discount off the purchase of Goodyear brand auto and light truck tires. Special pricing will also be offered for tire balancing. These discounts will be available at Goodyear company-owned stores only - independent dealers will not be participating.
There are more than 726 Goodyear stores in 40 states. To locate a participating company-owned store near you, call 888-439-7786. You must have a Postal Service photo ID or other proof of employment to receive the discount. Make sure to call the toll-free number provided, as there are some parts of the country where Goodyear doesn't have company-owned stores.
You can find sample pricing on the Postal Service blue page at http://www.usps.com/news/online/deals/goodyear.htm.
