Door to door sales tactics yet again!

Carol Winters from Age Concern Havelock North

Many of you know my aversion to forceful door to door sales people. In fact I got into a little hot water last time I talked about this.....

In fact I got into a little hot water last time I talked about this..... However it has just come to my attention that there are sales people offering free carpet shampoos. The whole campaign is geared to getting into a persons home environment to sell a vacuum cleaner. You may well ask, Carol I thought you said this was a carpet shampoo! You would be correct as that is what my contact thought. Lo and behold that was not the intent, they did very badly want to sell a $4000 vacuum cleaner... Yes you read that right, a $4000 vacuum!

My contact is savvy but it still took some time to convince the sales person there was not going to be a sale. Our concern is that there are vulnerable people in our community who may well feel pressured into making a purchase they can ill afford or need. So please be aware and let other people know if there are concerns.

Did you know that we supply a range of frozen meals??

Carol Winters from Age Concern Havelock North

Yes that's one of the many things we do at Age Concern in Havelock North. There are so many older (and not so older) people that just don't have the desire or ability to cook main meals any longer.

There are so many older (and not so older) people that just don't have the desire or ability to cook main meals any longer. We've partnered with Pure Catering here in the village who provide us with a range of good old fashioned meals that are freshly frozen.
