1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: It's Black Friday. Not that should come as any surprise

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: given all the ads that have been coming hard and

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: fast over the past few weeks. Almost feels like black

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: months these days. Roasty Douglas is from Rebellion.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: This morning, top of the Morning.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Look, I'm saying, if you stats coming through on own news,

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: why that's Apparently New Zealanders collectively spend one hundred and

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars on Black Friday last year, and

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: then price me shows nearly forty percent of Kiwi so

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: planning to take advantage of the day. But then we've

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: got a poll running on our hawknewy Ashburtin Facebook page

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: and sort of suggests otherwise. So what's your read from

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: a mid Canterbury perspective? Do we buy into the buzz?

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: I think a little bit, Luke. I think it became

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: an American thing that's sort of caoled onto the into

16
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: a Kiwi thing, and then it started out as being

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: a technology driven sort of specials over here on Ensidn't

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: there actually starting to grow more and more? Is it?

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Are you expecting a bit of an uptick and foot

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: traffic today? How does it translates around Luke?

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's I don't think it's a

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: massive driver for for everybody, but look for some people

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: that'll will have an impact. Absolutely, give us.

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: A lay of the retail land out there. If Jack

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Thames Special on Tuesday Night is to be believed, among

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: the tough times that everybody's facing here in mid Canterbury

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: were something of a rock star economy. Are things humming

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: out there?

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: That's happening. I think anyone's trying hard. I think that's

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: a great thing. A bit Esperton does everyone there. Everyone

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: tries hard and I think we look we're very lucky.

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: We live in a fantastic community. Luke, very lucky for

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: their rural sector and all of their h and what

34
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: that brings to the region. I just think everyone's just

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: trying to battle for that dollar. Do what they do

36
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: to keep people shopping him down.

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: These big chains obviously they have the buying power and

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: the influence to pitch pretty sharp deals, but why is

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: it worth keeping the locals in mind?

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: Roasty, I think it's great. It's still nice to try

41
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: and support the mom and dad retailer. The they keep

42
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: the they keep everything ticking over. I've got the weak

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: part timers I've got a couple of staff. They try,

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: and they try and do good bye. In the community,

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: they'll be the ones that will be giving the prizes

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: to the to the golf tournaments and the other bits

47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: and pieces and and uh and I think they I

48
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: think they play a really important part and uh and

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: how our community works well.

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I love how I can purchase something from you, and

51
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: then if I can't figure it out, at least I

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: know where to find you, I can comb back and

53
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: you give me a hand.

54
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: That's also the joy of retail. Look, I know we

55
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: all talk about online nowadays, but I still think bricks

56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: and mortar has its place. I think it's nice to gathering.

57
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: I'll be going and to talk to someone, go and

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: see someone going, go and try something on the Yeah,

59
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: I think there's still a bit to be said to

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: that
