Create your own branded consumer education materials using the Outreach Toolkit.
Add the NCPW 2009 buttons and banners to your website or blog. And ask other organizations and businesses in your community to do the same.
Host a forum, workshop or seminar in your community to talk about the tools people need for today’s economy. Partner with local organizations, the police department, or the local library.
Customize the sample newsletter article in the Outreach Toolkit and send it to local organizations so they can promote NCPW through their publications.
Plan a press event to announce that your agency is taking part in National Consumer Protection Week. It’s an opportunity to talk about the educational initiatives that you are implementing as part of NCPW.
Contact your local television, radio or cable access station to do an interview on the tools consumers need for today’s economy.
Contact your local radio station and ask them to use the NCPW PSA scripts. Suggest that local radio personalities record announcements promoting National Consumer Protection Week.
Tell your friends, family, colleagues, and others about National Consumer Protection Week. Word of mouth is a very powerful tool!
Look for local blogs and use the comment section to tell people about NCPW. Keep your comment brief and be sure to include the website, www.consumer.gov/ncpw. Blogs you read regularly are a great place to start.
