2008 Thanksgiving Weekend Travel
Media Planner

The intent of this promotional planner is to provide you with marketing material, earned media tools and marketing ideas that you can distribute to fit your local needs and objectives while at the same time partnering with other states, communities and organizations all across the country on this promotional program.

This planner includes messaging and templates that you may choose from to support your occupant protection initiatives surrounding Thanksgiving. The materials available to you can be used in several capacities and are built on the message platforms "Buckle Up America. Every Trip. Every Time" and “Click It or Ticket” for enforcement purposes. These materials also carry the taglines, "Tighten Your Belt Before and After Thanksgiving Dinner”, a reference to both the need to arrive safely to spend time with family and a contradiction to the belief that readers will have to loosen their belts after a big meal.

Please select, tailor, and distribute this planner in a way that best fits your local situation and objectives.
