Just checked my snail mail.

My insurance company (Swann Insurance) has sent me a free copy of NZ Motorcycle Trader. Cool - nice surprise. There is a letter attached.

Dear Swann Customer,

... we have enclosed a copy of NZ Motorcycle Trader for you to enjoy and since you are a loyal customer... (Loyal since December 2007 says I) ...

It then goes on to say that the magazine and the insurance company are delighted to offer me a special subscription deal...

To take advantage of the great offer I need to call the MagShop.

Cool. 3 companies involved in this one letter.

Amazing how business works and how businesses work together. I guess every one of them is getting their piece of the action. I have my own IT business so I find this interesting.

Thank you Swann insurance for insuring my bike - although I do pay you for that. Thank you to NZ Motorcycle magazine for producing this fine looking magazine. Thank you to the MagShop for finding a way to bring my insurance company, and a local magazine together to make money and put a smile on my face!

Ill read it tonight. I pay my insurance on the 25th of each month. But I dont want Mags for my bike.
