TNT Australia is demonstrating its support for small business through its involvement with the nationwide Shop Small® movement as a Silver Partner.

The Shop Small campaign runs through the month of November and aims to support thousands of small businesses throughout the country by raising community awareness of the important role these businesses play in their local communities.

TNT Australia director of Marketing Matthew Collier said partnering with Shop Small was a great way to promote the benefits of supporting small businesses while reinforcing the ways in which TNT already supports its customers in Australia.

“TNT provides all its customers with a broad range of transport products and services, backed by a comprehensive local and global network,” Mr Collier said.

“This is especially relevant for small business owners, as TNT’s extensive network and expertise means we can deliver the right transport solution, at the right time and at the right price.”

Mr Collier said the recent introduction of its Easy Send online booking tool enables businesses to book a domestic shipment with TNT even if they are not an account holder.

“Easy Send is a great tool that enables non-TNT account holders to quickly and simply book a shipment with us online. It’s just one example of how we’re making it easier for all businesses to transact with TNT,” Mr Collier said.

“TNT is very focused on the importance of small business. We have recently launched a number of sales and customer service initiatives aimed at providing the right support, tools and products to serve the transport needs of this important sector of the economy.”

In conjunction with its support of the Shop Small movement TNT is offering customers the opportunity to win one of three $1000 Westfield gift cards* by clicking on the Shop Small logo and registering at www.tnt.com.au before 30 November.

Businesses that open a new account with TNT before 30 November have the chance to win a $100 Woolworths voucher* by emailing their contact details to AUshopsmall@tnt.com.au.

After launching in Australia in 2013, Shop Small 2014 includes a number of initiatives such as small business events, Shop Small walks hosted by social influencers, media partnerships and business grants aimed at encouraging public awareness and support of small businesses.
