Attention ACTIF Founding, Charter and Associate Members!
Join the Voice of ACTIF as we reach out to the entire rental industry -- be a part of the message! We are excited to offer all ACTIF vendors a new sponsorship opportunity.
ACTIF will now be sending postcards (quarterly) to an updated list of prospective car rental members. The postcard outreach will be used to promote ACTIF Membership, the Car Rental Show (Oct 10-12 Las Vegas Hilton) and other ACTIF events.
Get your name out to 10,000 (approx.) rental industry professionals! ACTIF recently acquired an updated list of independent rental operators and is looking forward to reaching a new audience with our marketing efforts. This sponsorship opportunity will allow you to reach these new contacts at the same time!
The sponsorship will be $1,500/month with a limit of 2 sponsors per postcard.
SPACE is limited -- act now! To participate or to see a copy of a sample postcard, please forward your company name and contact information including telephone number and email address to maggie@actif.org with the subject: "Postcard Sponsorship." ACTIF will need a .TIFF format file with your company logo and a PO# or credit card to secure your spot.
