Endicia Launches PartnerSHIP Forward Program to Help Businesses Grow
08/27/2009
PALO ALTO, California
Endicia, the trusted leader in Internet Postage with nearly $4B in postage printed, has created the PartnerSHIP Forward program to positively impact businesses as they “ship it forward.” This unique program will help companies enrich their relationship with current business partners by connecting with them via two pre-paid U.S. Postal Service® Flat Rate boxes compliments of Endicia. An approved licensed vendor of the U.S. Postal Service, Endicia designed the PartnerSHIP Forward program to coincide with the U.S. Postal Service’s Priority Mail® Flat Rate box promotion.
To start the program, Endicia has invited 20 current customers to take part. In addition, five more companies will be selected to participate based on their creative ideas of why they would like to “ship it forward” to two of their current business partners. Interested companies can apply online at www.partnershipforward.com/applytoparticipate.
When a company registers to participate, they will have the opportunity to select one charity from a list of charitable organizations. Each time a charity is chosen, Endicia will donate $9.85 to that charity, the commercial base value of postage for a U.S. Postal Service Medium Flat Rate box. This amount will accumulate for each organization and be donated in one lump sum after the program ends on October 31, 2009.
Once registration is complete, Endicia will send participants one Large Flat Rate box and one Small Flat Rate box with postage already attached to the boxes (combined value of $18.30). Companies simply fill the provided U.S. Postal Service Flat Rate boxes and they’re ready to ship products, services, or other items to two current business partners.
Participating companies are encouraged to be creative and ship something meaningful so the partners they touch will “ship it forward” to two of their current business partners, who will, in turn, “ship it forward” to two more partners, and so on.
“Endicia knows that building and nurturing business relationships is important to our customers,” said Amine Khechfe, general manager of Endicia. “This program will provide a fun and unique opportunity for companies of all sizes to show how much they value their business partnerships.”
Program participants are invited to share the story of why they “shipped it forward” and what impact it had on their business at www.partnershipforward.com/participants. For their submission, participants will be awarded three months of free Standard, Premium or Professional service from Endicia. In addition, the 20 best stories will receive a DYMO productivity prize package including a DYMO 4XL or Twin Turbo printer, a CardScan Executive and a scale.
