Dear
Local Business:
Shelby Electric
Cooperative has an
exciting new
opportunity for your
business. We would
like to invite you
to join us in a new
member benefits
initiative, the
Co-op Connections
program. This
program gives you
the opportunity to
offer our
cooperative members
valuable discounts.
In exchange for your
participation, the
Cooperative will
promote your
business and
discount offers to
our members at no
cost to you.
Shelby Electric
Cooperative, in
conjunction with
other Touchstone
Energy cooperatives
around the country,
has developed the
Co-op Connections
program to deliver
more value to
cooperative members
and assist
participating
businesses by
increasing customer
visits. This program
gives your business
exposure to our
9,500 members and
millions more served
by other Touchstone
Energy cooperatives.
 Distribution of the
cards, key fobs and
a list of
participating
businesses should
take place in the
spring of 2006.
Participating
businesses
will also be posted
on this Shelby
Electric Cooperative
Web site as well as
the Co-op
Connections Web
site. Businesses
will receive static
window clings and
register stickers,
which can be
displayed by the
business. When
cooperative members
show their Co-op
Connections card at
any participating
business, they
receive a discount.
The discount offered
is left completely
up to the
participating
business.
To
learn more about the
program and to view
a list of
participating
businesses from
across the country,

Participation is
easy and should help
give you a marketing
advantage with our
17
million-and-growing
membership! Please

brochure and the
business contract.

program, simply
