Reply on Junk Mail
Hi everyone,
I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that has made a comment or suggestion on my post this week. It has been interesting reading all the replies and comments.
An overwhelming theme is that you all think my proposed mail is junk and I agree with that.
Some junk is not junk, like the community paper or the new world specials as not all people could replace paper with a smart device.
We talked about replacing junk with something else email based and that posed the question about how to opt in initially, but still, doesn't address the issue of those with out a computer. At this time we still need junk mail for our older people not using smart phones or pcs.
This morning I had a coffee meeting with Karl Jager and he was very inspiring to talk to. Karl is studying marketing at EIT. One of the suggestions Karl made I am using right now, an application called Grammarly that he uses. It checks grammar as you type, its free and pretty cool tool to use.
So, the future looks different from here. I promise no unsolicited junk mail in your letter box from me from today forward.
To answer some of my critics I have signed up as a premium business on neighborly. My personal posts will be here and business there.
To add value to the community I have some great ideas that you will see over the next few weeks. I will post on neighborly when and where you can see that offer.
So stay tuned, have a great weekend and if you see junk mail with my name on it, well, it wasn't from me.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
