Marketing Tips

When one of your employees achieves certification, it deserves some attention. A press release along the lines of the sample below may get a write-up in the local paper. You can also let your clients know about it by putting it in your company newsletter and by posting it in the lobby or some other appropriate location.

Your certified employees can show their status by placing the "NICET Certified" decal on hardhats, clipboards, etc. Decals may be ordered through the NICET Store.

Also, see "Certification and Business Value".
