Poll: When it comes to email newsletters, what’s your biggest frustration right now?

Russell from Ashburton District

Quick pulse check for founders and operators 👇

Email newsletters should be one of the easiest ways to stay in touch with customers… yet for a lot of us, they quietly fall to the bottom of the list.

Before tools, templates, or tactics. I’m curious about the real blocker.

What’s the one thing that makes you hesitate, overthink, or just not hit “send”?

Vote honestly.
If you’ve already solved this, feel free to drop what actually worked for you in the comments — no theory, just real-world experience.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
