 Signs, signs, everywhere a sign.  But these won't be “blocking the scenery or breakin' your mind.”  We're responding to the vendor and trucking company requests we have been getting for the past who know's how many years, that the PTP locations need to get signs.  Some of you have them already, but the majority of the PTP members do not.  We're

making a push on this on the shop side of PTP and the PTP shop

members are responding!  All of the PTP members have unique features and no two locations look alike.  There is no quick way for trucking

companies to know that you are a PTP member unless you have a sign.

 

 Right now we are asking all of the PTP shop members to purchase a

2 X 6 lighted sign that can be hung outside the location.  This is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get uniformity in the network.  We appreciate everyone's co-operation on this project.

 

 On another note, we've got a new program coming out soon that will add on to the already existing Partner Points program.  TSC Global (formerly Barjan) has been working with PTP and Partner Points to

design a program to help you move more merchandise via the Partner Points program.  Look for the initial e-mail on this program to be

coming to you very shortly.  No extra cost, just more ways to drive point redemption.

 

 Remember, we welcome your ideas and comments at all times.
