Listings requested for Year 2000 SPJST Member Services Directory If you're a member and you've got a business — big or small — get it listed in the Year 2000 SPJST Member Services Directory. The Year 2000 Directory, which will be published in January, provides a comprehensive listing of SPJST sales representatives and free listings to members who are in a position to provide various products and services to other SPJST members. In addition to these free listings, members will also have the opportunity to purchase additional advertising space as a way to further promote your business. The price for a standard business card size advertisement or "coupon," will be $25. Advertising revenues will help to defray the cost of printing. Since the first SPJST Member Services Directory was published in 1995, it has consistently increased in size. In 1999, the directory included more than 600 business listings, ranging from accountants and auto mechanics to musicians, beauticians and physicians. Seasonal businesses and part-time businesses are all invited to participate in the directory.
Only those listings which are deemed "questionable" or those which promote life insurance or other products available through the SPJST, will not be printed in the directory. Please note that if your listing appears in the 1999 SPJST Member Services Directory, you do not need to resubmit your information — only changes and/or corrections. To be listed in the Year 2000 directory, send your business card or basic information, include your name, name and address of business, service or product provided and telephone number to: SPJST Member Services Directory
