Amazon.com announced it reached a new agreement with the U.S. Postal Service on package deliveries, and sources ​said the cash-strapped mail system would retain about 80% of its ‌existing deliveries from its biggest customer. That 20% cut is a dramatically better outcome for the postal agency than the two-thirds or larger reduction that Reuters reported last month Amazon had threatened. USPS has a roughly $80 billion budget, and Amazon represented $6 billion in annual revenue to the agency, according to two people familiar with the business arrangement. "We're pleased to have ​reached a new agreement with USPS that furthers our longstanding partnership and will ​let us continue supporting our customers and communities together," Amazon said in a statement.

Dilly dilly. I’m lovin’ it. Get a Mac. Why is it so easy to rattle off the brands that introduced us to these catchphrases? Because Bud Light, McDonald’s and Apple are among the best at telling stories, catching us off guard and even making us laugh. They understand the power of a campaign and how disruptive a “big idea” can be. And how powerful it can be—helping us consider their products for the first time, or again in a whole new way. But for a campaign to reach—and disrupt—the most people, it must be executed across all touchpoints (in digital and in print).

Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) today announced the renewal of its partnership with Hunger Task Force and a $750,000 commitment over the next year to ensure more Milwaukee-area children, families, and seniors have access to healthy, free food. Coming at a time of growing need, the donation extends Kohl’s hometown partnership with Hunger Task Force and will help sustain its network of more than 60 food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. Funding will also help fill the gap in food access that many youth face during the summer through next year’s Summer Meals Program. “Together with Hunger Task Force, we’re strengthening access to healthy food for families across Milwaukee at a critical time right now when so many need extra assistance during the holidays,” said Christie Raymond, Kohl’s chief marketing officer. “We’re proud of our longstanding partnership and are working to immediately minimize the gaps in nutritious food resources for our community. If you are looking to help neighbors in need this season, we encourage you to please join us in supporting Hunger Task Force.” Kohl’s Cares has contributed more than $12 million to Hunger Task Force since 2009, fueling programs that have delivered more than 1.3 million suppers for youth through the Summer Meals Program and 3.5 million pounds of healthy food served across its network.
