| For the cost of the subscription to the New Zealand Retailers Association, it must be the best return anyone could every get out of any investment. |

| I cannot fault your service for a new boy on the retail block - I have come from 26 years in the military where my men come first, it certainly looks like that with the NZ Retailers Association - thanks. |

| The benefits we receive far outweigh the cost of membership, and it's good that you keep the Government watchdog role on legislation and all matters which impact on us. We have been members for 27 years and appreciate the steady flow of relevant information. |

| We must say that we have been very pleased to have been a member over the past seven years & have found the Association very supportive in every way. Keep up the good work as there must be numerous smaller outlets that know you are working for them. |

| I purchased a sole trading business about seven years ago. My son-in-law suggested that I should join your association, but as I was just starting out and thinking of the 'pennies' I thought I could do it all myself. I eventually joined, and then realised that this was money well spent. Just to lift that phone and immediately obtain an informed answer was so convenient. I have really appreciated your ability to answer legal, employment and more general questions. The benefits you receive from the association are a bonus. I feel the association is a must, especially for a small business. |

| The New Zealand Retailers Association helped us deal with several difficult situations and we would recommend them as a first port of call for any issues involving staff, customers, suppliers etc. SImple, commonsense advice! |

| We could not imagine a retail lifestyle without the New Zealand Retailers Association. Our area manager is always available with information about employees, and if he cannot help, he will advise us to go to a specialised person within the Association. It is wonderful to be able to talk to someone who takes a personal interest in our company, and we talk regularly. "The Notes" keep me up-to-date on New Zealand retail, business and employees, the magazine on New Zealand retail issues, and my business partner and I never go any where without our Shell Card. Thank you for being there. |

| Joining the NZRA was one of the best business decisions I have made. All the staff I have liaised with - be it about staff, my lease, or training programmes, have been very helpful. NZRA are like a lifeline - just knowing that experienced people are at the end of the phone leaves me feeling supported at all times. The lower interest rate for EFTPOS and credit cards available through the NZRA have been a great advantage for my business. |

The Warehouse has derived a great deal of benefit from being a member of the New Zealand Retailers Association - particularly in its representations to government on behalf of the whole retail industry. We believe all retailers should take advantage of these benefits by joining this organisation. |
