<strong>USPS</strong>.com Week March 12–16, <strong>2007</strong> Publicity Kit<br />
SERVICE TALK<br />
<strong>USPS</strong>.com Week — March 12–16, <strong>2007</strong><br />
The <strong>Postal</strong> Service is promoting our award-winning Web<br />
site — <strong>USPS</strong>.com — during the week of March 12–16,<br />
<strong>2007</strong>. Post Offices, stations, and branches around the<br />
country are sponsoring events for small businesses during<br />
this week. The theme is “Go to <strong>USPS</strong>.com and Skip the<br />
Trip.”<br />
Our Web site is the ideal example of Quick, Easy,<br />
Convenient. Customers can create shipping labels and pay<br />
for postage, find a ZIP Code, calculate postage, locate a<br />
Post Office, schedule a pickup, ship and track packages,<br />
hold mail, change their address, buy stamps, order shipping<br />
supplies, and much, much more — all from their own<br />
computers.<br />
When you deliver mail to your small business customers,<br />
tell them how easy it is to skip the trip to the Post Office<br />
by visiting www.usps.com. We want our customers to know<br />
that just about everything they can do here at the Post<br />
Office, they can do online at <strong>USPS</strong>.com, and save time and<br />
money in the process.<br />
Include the following paragraph if your Post Office is<br />
hosting an event:<br />
Here in [insert name of community], we will be hosting<br />
our own <strong>USPS</strong>.com Week event. Activities will include<br />
[summarize plans for the week]. When you deliver mail to<br />
your small business customers, invite them to our<br />
<strong>USPS</strong>.com Week event(s).<br />
We appreciate all you do to deliver the mail and to make<br />
the <strong>Postal</strong> Service the carrier of choice.<br />
Thank you.<br />
