I have been connected with so many talented New Zealanders and great businesses and know there are many more out there that are involved in reinventing, reusing and up cycling. I want to link like minded consumers with a network/directory where they can find these products and services, something I have struggled to find on my journey.
The directory will be categorized so people can find what they are looking for fast with links back to businesses websites and social media pages. We will be promoting individual products and ideas from our Instagram and Facebook pages that will take you straight to the companies online shop. Apart from the usual categories No Brand New is going to feature a "Charity & Social enterprises" section that showcases some amazing NZ organisations that are turning our junk into someones treasure and donating pre loved goods to those in need. Also a very exciting section is our "Waste Minimizing Products" category that feature businesses that are selling some really great products & services that reduce our waste, save us money and encourage us to make less purchases over our life time.
The really awesome initiative that will be launched in the very near future on the No Brand New site is the 3 - 6 month "No Brand New" challenges. Think of it as an online bootcamp or fitness overhaul for the mind, wallet and planet. With an introduction to minimalism, up cycling projects, "no brand new" buying options and much more. With newsletters, inspiration and support for members this is a really fun and rewarding challenge for the entire family. Have you got what it takes??
If you are a NZ business or Social Enterprise and would like to be involved in the directory please get in touch at [email protected] or check out www.nobrandnew.com
See you in a little over a week for the big launch!!
