Helping Ōtaki thrive beyond Covid-19

Ōtaki Today has joined forces with web development company Flightdec to provide a free internet presence for local businesses.

The new website open.otakitoday.com will give businesses a free Profile Page. It’s available at no cost not only for business clients of Ōtaki Today, but to any Ōtaki business – big or small and whether or not they have a website already.

The initiative is our vote of thanks to the businesses that make our town thrive and an acknowledgement that without the support of everyone, it’s going to be a tough time for many locals getting their business back up and running.

A Profile Page comes with tools to self-promote (blog posts and event listings), plus visitors to a Profile can easily share a referral to social media or use a Shout-Out message board.

To get going, go to the website and click Become A Member to get a login. Then once your login is confirmed by automatic email, go back and click on Make A Profile. You can then load all the details about your business, contact details, and even images and logos.

Meantime, we’re also supporting local businesses with the logo above. Ōtaki Today will use the logo liberally to promote buying locally, and to support local business activity. It’s available free for businesses to use in their own publicity and for shop posters.  Just give us a call (06 364-6543) or email openotaki@idmedia.co.nz to ask for the image.
