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.

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.

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. An oxymoron I know but still ... no preservatives and delivered to us weekly.
