| ● NEBRASKA LEGISLATIVE
REPRESENTATION The Nebraska Retail Federation ensures a retail voice for Nebraska that is united and strong. Today, Congress is giving more power to state and local governments. This means that state actions increasingly impact your bottom line. You can’t be at the state capital every day to know which issues are being discussed, who to talk to and how to get the work done on your company’s behalf. The NRF protects retailers’ interests at the state level. Your participation in the Nebraska Retail Federation assures that your interests are being represented. The Nebraska Retail Federation works on issues on the legislative level continuously as well as working with regulatory agencies to protect and enhance the bottom line of the retailers who invest in NRF’s efforts. ● FREE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING COST ANALYSIS |

WEB SITE CREATION |
||
 |
An internet storefront is an international
showcase for your business. Although most large scale NRF retailers
have extensive web sites, many smaller scale merchants still lack an
internet presence. Many merchants, while aware of the advantages of
creating a web site, have neither the time nor resources for the
project. That’s where the NRF can help. The NRF can develop a Web site
specifically to fit your needs at minimal cost to you. Contact Jim Otto at 402-474-5255
or 800-944-4673 or e-mail nebretailfed@hotmail.com
for details. You do
not need to live in Lincoln to take advantage of this offer; everything
can be handled electronically. |

HEALTH INSURANCE |

 |
Flexible,
affordable, and easy to understand health insurance is available to NRF
members through Associations Marketing Group, Inc. (AMGI). AMGI
understands that most employers cite high premiums, access
problems, benefits that
are hard to understand, and health plan instability as contributing
factors to the uninsured problem. |
|
| AMGI's Simple Plan can
be tailored to your
specific needs. AMGI has
the expertise and technical support that can provide an employee
benefit package properly. “Our target market
is the employer who has between one and fifty employees. Most insurance

four person groups,” states Jesse Patton, President and CEO
of AMGI. |
