Hi There!
I have some questions about Supermarket News, I am hoping someone there could answer them for me.
Firstly, the banner says “TRUSTED, RESPECTED, PREFERRED” – I have no issue with it being trusted, nor respected. But preferred? I mean I don’t think there’s anything else in the marketplace quite LIKE Supermarket News, is there? I would say you can’t claim to be preferred if you’re the only game in town. Or there is a RIVAL supermarket happenings publication I’m not aware of?
Second, WHY IS THE TWITTER FEED ALWAYS SHOUTING AT US. WHY??? https://twitter.com/NZSupermarket
The content is important, no doubt. But you don’t need to keep shouting at us, do you? I mean it’s Supermarket News, not CoronaVirus updates.
Finally, your website isn’t https compatible. It gives certificate errors. You might want to contact your webhost about this.
Finally, my email is repeated in a format that the @NZSupermarket Twitter person will be able to understand, case they’re the person who gets this (HI!)

Thanks Tim.
I’ll look into the SHOUTING on twitter.
As regards magazines – there are two b2b in the market and about 45 overseas publications that are the same.
As for website ditto above, I’ll look into it.
Can I ask why you are getting in touch with us?
I haven’t heard of you, but then we’ve only been in business since 1923.
Cheers,

Hi (Supermarket News Person)!
I only ask because I like to ask questions 😊
You wouldn’t have heard of me, I’ve only been in business since 1976 when I was born, but I didn’t even move to New Zealand until 2000. Yes, I’m an annoying Australian. I work in computers and have nothing at all to do with supermarkets. Well, I used to do nightfill at Purity (now Woolworths) in Sandy Bay, Tasmania back in ~1996 or so, but I don’t think that qualifies me to know much about supermarkets (except how dirty they are out the back, erk!)
I appreciate the reply, most people, strangely enough, never seem reply to my questions!
Much Love,
Tim
Not 2 hours after I sent this email, the Twitter feed stopped shouting at us:
