Associates Can Stream the Olympics – and Spread the Word to Shoppers
The Olympics are exciting — the Games bring together the world’s greatest athletes for a few weeks of high-spirited competition. Associates can enjoy that excitement by taking advantage of the free streaming benefit provided to service members by NBCUniversal.
When streaming of Tokyo Olympics coverage begins with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, that’s just the start of more than 5,500 hours of coverage – associates can watch every minute of every competitive event. This is far more in-depth coverage than the recaps on network TV in the evenings.
And not only can associates watch and enjoy, they can share their experience with shoppers, many of whom are also streaming. All associates are encouraged to stream the coverage themselves – and to tell customers about it.
Watch the Olympics live and remind shoppers that streaming is available to all current service members, honorably discharged Veterans and retirees. All the details on how to do this are available now on shopmyexchange.com.
