Veterans Day 2011 – What are you going to do for our Military-Veterans?

Next month is Veteran’s Day and a great chance for you to note their sacrifices and protection of our great country. As a MilitaryAvenue Partner what are you doing to recognize our Military and Families this upcoming Veterans Day? Start preparing now for this day of recognition for those who have frequently given so much for their country. Many military families are operating with a second or third deployment over the holidays! Can you say “again”? Many Military-Veterans didn’t get the recognition they so deserved so many years ago. All Veterans and families could use a simple “thank you” from all of us.
Welcoming our Military to your place of business

Here are ideas to jump start your recognition of Veteran’s Day. Make it something that makes veterans and their families feel appreciated:

• First of all offer a Veterans Day Special, for our veterans. Offer something from the heart that you know your military-veteran customers will appreciate. It is only a small token of what they have done for us!
• Hang a “Veterans, Thank You” sign on your door (Something like: http://militarymarketing.militaryavenue.com/2010/05/what-does-your-storefront-or-website.html)
• Sponsor or become involved in a Veteran’s Day parade and encourage others as well
• Add a special event to our Event Calendar so the new military families get the word about the local area (How to place an event on MilitaryAvenue)
• Have your sales staff made aware of military customers and task the staff to thank them for their service

• If you are offering a remarkable military discount or incentive for our Veterans we will add it to our growing list – Veterans Day 2011 – Military Discounts. Last year’s list was circulated by official military-organizations, military-spouse and family groups, and so much more and is STILL looked at every day.
