PRW DUES
Offer An IRTA MEMBERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
As PRW members receive their 2006 dues invoices, they will have an opportunity to join the International Refrigerated Transportation Association (IRTA) for the low cost of $200 per company. IRTA recently joined the IARW family with the goal of building its membership and programs. With membership in IRTA, your company will be able to submit a listing of your transportation capabilities for the IRTA section of the 2006 International Cold Chain Directory. To learn more, visit the IRTA website.

Study Shows Damaged Packaging Directly Impacts Brand Loyalty
Careful handling of food packages is probably more essential than ever before. Results of a recent survey show that seventy-two percent of those surveyed view the retailer with damaged frozen food packaging as offering lower value products than competitors, while 25% go so far as to question the quality of the brand. PRW operators who pay attention to careful handling practices are more likely to please their customers because the customer's product is less likely to be viewed as inferior by consumers.
