What is the best platform to advertise on? Should I even advertise?
EVERY BUSINESS needs to advertise to maintain and grow their client base as their will always be attrition - it's just a case of where will your advertising dollar work for you the best...
In my experience....
Community newspaper/Radio: perfect for the sleeping customer, readers tend to be parents and 50+
Social Media: ideal for Native advertising - building trust with informative and interesting posts
Online: a heaving beast that is still evolving, using safe and premium environments is a must. Branding and performance campaigns depending on the objectives, can track
Some important questions for any business:
Q1: Who is my target market
Q2: Where do they look
Q3: What is my budget
q4: What is a successful campaign (sales, clicks, website traffic, awareness etc)
The best practice is to view advertising & marketing as an investment and treat it as such - repetition = reputation!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
