NEW BROCHURES NOW AVAILABLE TO TPI MEMBERS IN MEMBER-ONLY TOOLKIT!

TPI has just released the first of several new brochures available in the Member Benefits section of the TPI website. Tis new section of the Member Benefits page is called “Member-Only Toolkit” and will be the homesite for new resources that TPI members can use to promote their products, provide educational materials to their customers, and more.

Te first resource to be launched here is the brochure titled Turfgrass Watering & Care for New Sod. Tis is a tri-fold brochure that TPI members can print at their business and hand out to customers at the point of sale or send along with their delivery truck drivers to present to customers as their new sod is delivered. Tis brochure covers the ins and outs of caring for newly laid sod with regard to watering and when to begin mowing and is written in a consumer-friendly way that will allow them to easily access the information they need.

US and International

Versions Available! Also new to the Member-Only Toolkit is the addition that the publications in this section will be written in US and International versions! All references to numerical values in US versions are written in standard units, while the international versions are written in metric units. Tis is just one more way TPI is trying to serve its members with locally relevant information that TPI members can use in each of their own particular markets.

Customizable with your

company logo! For TPI members wanting to add even more local presence, these publications are created in a way that allows us to insert your own company logo at the top of each brochure showing your customers that you are dedicated to providing them the information and care that they need to care for their purchase. Simply email a copy of your logo to Geri Hannah at ghannah@TurfGrassSod.org and she will insert your company logo and e-mail the electronic version directly back to you.

Tese brochures can be downloaded directly from the Member-Only Toolkit and can be printed in-house by TPI members or sent to a local print shop for bulk or high- quality printing. Either way, this resource is one of many current and new benefits here to serve TPI members!

Keep an eye out for future publications to be released soon on Turfgrass Fertilization, Benefits of Sodding, Calculating Lawn Sizes, Turfgrass Pest Control, and more ...

“Also new to the Member-Only Toolkit is the addition that the publications in this section will be written in US and International versions! You can personalize the brochures

by replacing the TPI logo with your own logo, as shown in this example”
