About

This website has been initiated by community newspaper Ōtaki Today and developed by web development company Flightdec to provide a public space for Ōtaki businesses to profile their services.

Its intention is to help local businesses thrive as they recover from the recent Covid-19 crisis. Anyone browsing the internet will be able to find out about Ōtaki district businesses that have a profile on the site.

Building a free Profile Page is simple – and FREE. It’s available to any business that operates or has a presence in Ōtaki.

The initiative is a vote of thanks from Ōtaki Today and Flightdec to the businesses that make our town thrive. It’s also an acknowledgement that we need to support businesses together.

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

Meantime, local businesses can also use the Ōtaki Open for Business logo and poster 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.
