I think we're gonna need a bigger boat...

Oops. Clearly I haven't managed to close all the links yet. You see, KIWIreviews has been chugging along for over 20 years now, since it launched as New Zealand's first genuinely public-access product review forum.

In that time, well over $10 million dollars in retail products, accommodation stays, car hires, dinners and more given away to Kiwi consumers just like you to test and provide their honest feedback. On top of that, well over $2 million worth of goods and services have been given away in the many competitions run through the site. Prizes ranging from hot drinks and alcoholic ciders to brand new smartphones, tablets and more.

In all that time, never once has any of the admin team or reviewers accepted a single dollar for their efforts. A true collective passion project.

However, a lot has changed in the economy and the marketing landscape. The Rise of The Influencer, the Micro-Influencer, the Streamer and Podcaster. Evolution leads to pivot or perish, and the time has come to place the website into Phase 2.

Existing members will retain all the capabilities and access they had before, will be able to log in and add new listings and/or reviews depending on their access level. New memberships are not being accepted via the automated form any more though. Anyone wanting to join is welcome to use the contact form to reach out.

So for now, thank you one and all.
