All,
I'm thinking about attending convention in three weeks. My reasons are several but most important is that I want to become more involved in USMS and I figure the best way to find out how/what/when/where is to attend convention.
Does this make sense? Would it be worthwhile?
Paul
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have to choose between multiple discounts who are fighting for your business? With 45,000 wealthy, educated members, I reckon USMS could round up a few dozen top-notch, national companies that would be willing to give our members discounts.
Doug--I think this would be great, but the discounts would have to be worthwhile for us to use them.
When I use a company discount for a hotel or rental car, I'll usually get asked by the clerk, "So you work for XXX. How do you like it there?" I think if they saw a USMS discount, they may strike up a similar conversation....and we may educate more people on who/what USMS is. Quite possibly, we may gain more membership from these clerks or other customers who overhear us.
