New Materials for January and February
Now that Economic Census forms are in the hands of nearly all companies that are to receive them, the emphasis shifts from "watch for the form" to getting it done. The press release for January highlights online resources for help in completing the forms. One version of the PSA shows a computer mouse and declares that census reporting is "Easier, faster, smarter...online".
If you are writing material that will appear in February, emphasize the impending due date, February 12. The tag line in the PSAs shifts to "It all comes down to you."
New Slides, Talking Points, and Handouts for Your Presentations
Add the Economic Census to your presentations to business people. The 2002 talking points link takes you to several slide shows, the newest of which includes suggested things to say. That page also links to the pdf of a brochure, America Needs Your Numbers, that you can hand out to your audience.
