Keep the Pedal to the Metal: “Race to Miami” Business Connect Competition — Race 2

“Race to Miami” is the Business Connect™ com­petition that can qualify you to win great prizes throughout the year and an expense-paid trip for two to Miami, includ­ing VIP tickets to the final Motorsports Race in Homestead, Florida, November 17, 2007.

Your activities throughout the competition will automat­ically count towards your monthly Business Connect program targets.

All crew members qualify — postmasters, station managers/managers of customer service, branch manag­ers, and supervisors.

Remember: you must document all your activities in the Business Connect Data Center by July 31, 2007, 11:59:59 p.m. CDT.

Rules for Race 2 (Runs From June 1 to July 31)

• Conduct at least five activities, two of which must be a Direct Mail presentation.
• Document all activities in the Business Connect Data Center.
• Specify your Direct Mail activities in the Business Connect Data Center; under the “Individual” or “Group Activity” screen, click on Direct Mail (BC Contest) to receive credit for your Direct Mail activities.

Suggestion: Make a group presentation to a rotary or civic club using your Destination Door-to-Door Direct Mail Kit. (We mailed the kit to all Post Offices™ in March 2006— a picture of the kit appears here). Simply pop in the DVD and let customers tell other customers how they used direct mail to grow their business. If you need additional support material, contact your local marketing manager or small business specialist.
