E-mail suggestions (how to address your employees)

E-mail suggestions (how to address your employees)

Suggestion for the first e-mail addressing your employees – the e-mail should be sent in February or March:

Sign up for the Bike to Work challenge!

Bike to Work is a countrywide challenge. All you need to do is put together a 2 to 5-member team, register yourselves by the end of April on www.dopracenakole.cz (each contestant should be registered separately) and during the month of May commute to and from work on bike, scooter, skate, wheelchair, walk or run as regularly as possible.

The morning workout will keep you in good form and your brain cells will be grateful to you (as will be our town) as the oxygenation helps them think more clearly. That is also the reason why …..(fill in your company name) will pay your starting fee (alternatively pay the starting fee to everyone who register themselves by the end of March, or pay the starting fee to the first X people registered etc. – it depends on what you prefer). So during the registration, please check the box with an option “Starting fee is paid by the employer.“

All participants will receive contest T-shirts made of biocotton or practical neck warmers – both with an original Bike to Work logo. The best ones can look forward to great rewards such as bikes, scooters, package holidays or tickets to various sport and cultural events (+you can add your own idea – for instance Everyone who cycles or walks to work at least ten times during the month of May will receive from us special…bike lights, jerseys, bells,…anything you can think of).

Registration is possible from the 1st of March. It is also the most advantageous to apply in March, so do not hesitate (supposing you do not pay the starting fee to your employees).

We look forward to your mileage and mainly your smiles!

Suggestion for the second – “reminding“  – e-mail to the employees – to be sent around the 15th of April:

Just X days remaining until the registration closes!

Slowly but surely the Bike to Work challenge is approaching… In total XX people from our company have registered. We are very happy for that! And those of you who still have not decided, apply and join us for the ride!

Those of you who do wish to join our teams this year and win many lovely prizes (you can add in particular prizes which you can think of in your company), register for the competition as soon as possible, by the end of April at the very latest. The website for registration is www.dopracenakole.cz. Whoever manages to do this in time, will have their starting fee covered by the company (during registration simply check the option “Starting fee will be paid by my employer.“).

Fearless teams such as … (write names of the teams you have so far) are already brushing up on their tactics. Do not let them shame you at your department (with your colleagues, in your office,…). Put a team together and show them you are ready to accept the challenge! Whatmore, all the participants may look forward to special offers (see www.dopracenakole.cz) such as breakfast for free, special offers “on T-shirt“ etc.

Most importantly, it is going to be fun, so lets get started!

Suggestion for a text for your business partners, contractors, customers, possibly even competitors (you can challenge them to a duel:))

Be proud that your employees cycle to work and use it to bolster your PR.

Boast with it on your company Facebook page or website. (During the months of March and April add the call for registration and a corresponding weblink).

You can also invite your business partners, customers, contractors …to join in the competition. Send them an e-mail with a nice picture of your company team and for example the following text:

“Ride your bike to work with us! Last year more than XX of our employees enjoyed this great event  and we heartily recommend it to everyone. It is not just fun, but also an ideal way to improve relationships among employees, help them get fit and get a good feeling about themselves. In a way you will also help protect the environment. At …(your company name) we are proud to support the Bike to Work competition.

Join us this year!

We look forward to our ride together!

Motivational e-mails to be sent during the competition

Inform your employees about all events which are being planned within the Bike to Work competition and motivate the teams by announcing continuous results. Example of communication:

“So far the continuous regularity chart has been ruled by team….with a 100% regularity, followed by team….with a X% success rate.

When it comes to the mileage, there has been no competition for Mr. XX from team XX so far with  unbelievable XX kilometres. Trying to catch up with him is Mr. XX from team XX with XX kilometres. Sadly we have seen no results from team XX, four members of which have not taken their bike to work once!…“
