NAWBO
Affinity Discount
Every
other month we plan to highlight two or three discount programs that
add
financial value to your NAWBO dues investment. Our goal is to have the
savings
equal or exceed your membership dues.

Health
Insurance available to NAWBO members-Nationwide
NAWBO
has at last negotiated a benefit that members have been seeking for a
long time.
NAWBO and NCT Financial have partnered with eHealthInsurance, the
leading site
for members to learn about, compare and buy health insurance.
Offering the
largest selection of health plans from leading insurance
companies
nationwide, the web site features online instant quotes,
side-by-side
plan price and benefit comparisons and online physician
directories
to help members select the health plan that best meets their
needs. The
Customer Care Center is staffed with knowledgeable
representatives
to answer questions via email, online chat or phone. These
features
make buying the right health insurance easier than ever before.

On speaking
with members who have participated in the program this year,
they said:
"It
has been very beneficial to Medical Educational Services and is a great
benefit!
I would urge other members that have a high shipping budget to
take
advantage of this discount! "
-Verna
Pearson,
Medical Educational Services
"I
just looked over our UPS account. We
have been UPS clients for over 20
years
sending out several small packages every day.
This year's special
discount for
NAWBO members has saved me a couple of hundred dollars -- For a
small but
consistent user, this attention to their clients will keep me
using UPS.
By the way, this savings has been
enough to cover my dues cost with NAWBO."
-Linda
Karasch,
CVP Communications
"My
company is a regular shipper. I estimate that we save close to $500
annually
using the NAWBO discount for UPS. The online tracking and shipping
document
generator is very useful for shipping, billing and tracking
parcels."
- Donna
Myers,
DHM Group
We
urge you to take advantage of this excellent discount program. There are
no
enrollment fees or contracts to sign. Just
call 1-800-325-7000 to sign
up and
identify yourself as a member of the National Association of Women
Business
Owners. If you already have a UPS account, call to have it rolled
over into
the discount program. By doing so, you will not only save money on
shipping --
you will be helping NAWBO grow.
TOSHIBA
and COPY SYSTEMS offer 30% discount
NAWBO has entered into a marketing agreement with Copy Systems, owned by
long-time
member Mary Jane Rebick, to secure discounted pricing on all
models of
Toshiba copiers, faxes and laser printers. Toshiba products are
available for purchase or lease at a 30% discount.
Toshiba will
ship the machines to a local servicing dealer who will install
and provide
onsite customer training. Special pricing is also offered on
service. To
receive a NAWBO price list or discuss your copier needs, call

It
is important that members realize that unless the orders are placed
through Copy

the sale.
Only through tracking and documenting successful marketing efforts
can NAWBO
continue to negotiate excellent price discounts on products such
as these.
