how does a catalog advertising products for sale not constitute advertising ??

I think it would definitely be considered advertising considering the catalogues have no retail value thus the catalogues could not be considered goods.

of course you are ,if someone puts garbage in your letterbox its up to you to with what you like

you have entered no legal obligation or contract to return or pay for any unsolicited goods people post or dump thru ur letterbox

personally i light the fire with them and i tell them that when they come to collect it

What is the legal position on non-name-addressed catalogues, what about the fairly recent thing of, 'To the Householder'?

---

I didn't expect this thread to revive itself, it shows that this manner of distribution does touch a nerve with some people.

As I stated earlier in the thread, anything in our house that's not 'personalised mail', gets put in the green bin straight away. The green bin has the lid flipped open 24/7, very quick and easy to drop something in.

I still think its an imposition by a stranger, non addressed mail with conditions attached? No thanks.

i have filled a bogus charity bag full of 1 week old kitchen waste once,put the sticker on it and left it out for collection the following day

they can enjoy sorting through that

i dont even like them coming onto my property at 6am to retrieve these bags

some rite dodgy guys snooping around in the dark with an " charity excuse" in case they get caught on your property

achecketts · 11-08-2010 10:32pm

If anything comes through my letter box, as far as I'm concerned I can do with it what I wish.

I'm afraid I take pride in the outside appearance of my home, so I'm certainly not going to leave a plastic bag or magazine in my front garden for days on end until it's collected. I spend enough time picking up rubbish that's made it's way onto property without adding to it myself.

If someone knocks on the door and asks if I want it, then I'll happily oblige if I'm interested, otherwise it becomes trash.

It's a local call rate number - free to me because I have a phone package that gives me free phone calls to all landline numbers (like many people do)

So why the big deal over a recycled booklet?

Ok, here are two things for you to think about.
1 - how much money time and effort is the whole of Europe putting into advertising Bob The Builders slogan 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle'?
Reduce the number of catalogues out there by letting any Kleeneze, Betterware, Avon, Timberland, Lidl, Aldi,Co-op, Royal Mail distributors know if you don't want their product/information - the world will be less polluted, and a better place for you being nice to another human being.
Reuse the catalogues that are out there by returning them all to their owners, including the Aldi/Lidl/Co-op flyers.
If anyone doesn't return for their respective catalogues when they say they will, THEN recycle them and let them know why when then come knocking, but don't let them think that you want another one, that's just petty and pathetic.

2 - Kleeneze don't feel the loss of catalogues so much as the independant distributors do. (Anyone thinking that Kleeneze profit from selling catalogues think again. Take a look at the catalogue set and compare it to any of the glossies in the newsagents - which are mostly funded by advertising - then decide what you think it would cost to buy if it were an entertainment magazine. I don't know what they cost now, but last time I asked a rep it was less than 1 Euro each. I doubt if there's any profit in selling them.) That would be the average guy on the street who is trying desperately hard to bring in an extra 100 Euros a week or so. For every catalogue that some unpleasant person deliberately ruins or bins (did you think that it made you a nice person? If your child acted in such a spiteful way would you praise or punish them?) they will have to deliver another 5 catalogues to make up the money they lost. So if nothing else, why don't you try to look out for your fellow Kleeneze hater and minimise the number of catalogues distributors are putting out there?

Do you know how to get a Euro sign from my computer? IT's dead annoying having to type Euro all the time, especially when I've got this useless $ on my keyboard!

Try and be nice to everyone you have contact with today - I bet you can't!

If you ask anybody they will tell you that Lidl, Tesco etc leaflets go into the bin as well, actually just something I realised from your post.

Can you tell me why a person living in the UK is defending these spammers in Ireland? You've showen that your clearly not aware of the Irish market by mentioning numerous companys that don't operate in Ireland.

In addition An Post delivers mails in Ireland not Royal Mail,

Reuse the catalogues that are out there by returning them all to their owners, including the Aldi/Lidl/Co-op flyers.

Both you and me know they can't be reused, most of these flyers are for weekend offers or limited time offers, if they are returned they'll be dumped.
So don't suggests such nonsense

Atleast by me putting them into a recycle bin I can be sure they'll be recycled.

2 - Kleeneze don't feel the loss of catalogues so much as the independant distributors do.

So then Kleeneze don't actually care dispite your previous statement?
Basically the person putting them through the door pays for the catalogues...correct?

So if anything its in Kleeneze interest for these not to be returned as it means the person going door to door has to buy more...correct?

So your previous bull**** statement that the company cares what happens to the catalogues is nonsense because they'll actually loose money if people do return the catalogues because reps won't need to buy more....correct?

(Anyone thinking that Kleeneze profit from selling catalogues think again. Take a look at the catalogue set and compare it to any of the glossies in the newsagents - which are mostly funded by advertising - then decide what you think it would cost to buy if it were an entertainment magazine. I don't know what they cost now, but last time I asked a rep it was less than 1 Euro each. I doubt if there's any profit in selling them.)

You doubt but you don't know, very informed person then eh?

If your child acted in such a spiteful way would you praise or punish them?)

If they recycled stuff I'd be very happy with them,

Anyway,
Kleeneze operates on selling cataloges to reps who in turn affectively spam the average joe hoping they'll make a sale, they rep earns commission on the sale and Kleeneze earns money.

Can you tell me how is this different to a company paying people to send out thousands of unsolicated e-mail's advertising watches or some other random item with the hope of making a sale, the sender earns commission and the company earns money.

Bottom line, its not...you wouldn't entertain internet spam so why entertain door to door spam? At the end of the day there's still people doing it but that doesn't make it ok on any level, we all know people can be scum when they want to be and as such should be treated as such.

jpb1974 · 12-08-2010 7:36am

It's a local call rate number

So it isn't free and you expect people to go to their own expense to contact Kleeneze?

THEN recycle them and let them know why when then come knocking

Eh... haven't you been reading... I think the vast majority of people on this thread mentioned that they recycle them

Kleeneze don't feel the loss of catalogues so much as the independant distributors do

In that case Kleeneze (the not such a small fry company) should pay for the catalogues so and not the independant distributors

Try and be nice to everyone you have contact with today - I bet you can't!

Go on then... let's have a bet since you know me so well.

Press CTRL and ALT and the number '4' button altogether/at the same time and you'll get a Euro sign. Or the buttons 'AlthGR' and the number '4' (pressed together/at the same time) display a Euro symbol.

Hope this helps.

it takes time, money and effort

why shoukd i waste that on a greedy commpany who think if they blanket spam enough houes it will generate sales ??

if every single person in the country burned their kleeneze catalog for about 3 months in a row they would be forced to re-view their business strategy

the only reason they cointinue it is because irish people are too soft

Not being able to know what I was thinking about last year

, there are "book club" scams that run whereby you sign up to the book club, they send you books and if you don't send them back, you get billed for it. This gets around the problem of unsolicited mail because you've agreed to receive these books.

I don't even know if it stills goes on tbh. The whole pretence was that someone signs up thinking that it will let them order cheap books via mail. They don't understand that they've agreed to the "book club" sending them books randomly and billing them for anything they don't send back.

Kleeneze catalogues.....could go either way. Can they be considered mail, even though they aren't actually delivered through the post? I imagine the reps believe that it's the same as handing the person the catalogue (like handing them a magazine), and therefore you would be obliged to return it. But fair game, if it comes through my letterbox then it's mail and it's mine to bin, contrary to what I said last year

Haven't seen one of these catalogues in years, thankfully.

This is more crazy expectations/demands, again expecting me to give up my valued free time. The onus should be on the spammer to find out if somebody wants their advertisement, not the "spammee". It is crazy and wasteful that they are so presumptuous. From reading this thread and others the presumption should obviously be that people do NOT want these catalogues.

Mrkleenezeman wrote: »

:eek: that is the most twisted faulty logic I have heard in a good while. If they bothered to ask people there would be far less of these catalogues produced there would be far less waste etc.

Mrkleenezeman wrote: »

Again my valuable time & money, do you suggest I post them back, drive around, deliver by hand, nobody in their right mind would do this, I'm beginning to think you are just winding people up with this nonsense.

Mrkleenezeman wrote: »

Here's a tip for you, if you have to pay to work in a job them more than likely its a scam, I view the kleeneze system as a scam. I knew this when I was 15 and went to a "job opportunity" seminar in a local hotel, they were selling kids black sacks and wanted them to go door to door selling them. Thing was it was cheaper to buy the black sacks in any shop than from them. They wanted housewives etc to take pity on these poor kids and buy the now well overpriced bags.

This whole forced face to face collection thing is a similar enough marketing ploy as using those kids -you seem to be well able to trot out the whole emotional blackmail attempts yourself.

Mrkleenezeman wrote: »

I would praise a child for getting rid of rubbish in the recycling bin, there is nothing spiteful about it. I think it is good to discourage this type of spamming and show the spammers it is not a profitable way to go about business.

Mrkleenezeman wrote: »

If it is binned I would have thought that is message enough that you do not want them -not that they even bothered to ask if I wanted one in the first place. Thankfully I have no doorbell and am out most of the time so do not have to deal with them. And like the other poster said I am not about to litter my own garden with reams of flyers left out for people to pick up again.

oceanclub · 12-08-2010 4:56pm

Reading this thread is a bit of a eyeopener. I'd realised the Kleeneze thing was a bit of a pyramid scheme thing, but didn't realise how emotional blackmail is used to get people to buy stuff ("buy my mop or I'll be thrown out of my negative equity house" seems to be the underlying tagline).

Indeed he does, the point regarding Mrkleenezeman and trying to attack people emotioinally is very valid especially considering the repeated rants

case in point from his posts:

After all you have no idea why these people have chosen to be Kleeneze distributors, perhaps it's because they are close to having their house repossesed and are doing everything they can to stop them loosing their family home.

Walk a mile in the other man's shoes before you condemn them!

Please try to remember that these are real human beings, and they do have feelings. There is absolutely no reason to deliberately cause them harm, emotional or financial.

I would recommend that perhaps you see an anger management counsellor, you obviously have 'issues'

That would be the average guy on the street who is trying desperately hard to bring in an extra 100 Euros a week or so

Where are you in the pyramid?

I'm not in any pyramid.
Pyramid selling is illegal.
I know it's complicated and hard for someone of such little intelligence to follow, BUT...
A pyramid scheme is where people get paid a proportion of the registration/ franchise/ joining fee when someone they introduce to the scheme joins.
Because the emphasis is on people joining, there is no requirement to support the individual who has shelled out their hard earned cash and because of this honest hard working people got burned by pyramid schemes way back when. That's why they were made illegal.

In Kleeneze, if someone becomes a distributor through me, then does absolutely nothing, I don't just get nothing, I get less than nothing. I get nothing from Kleeneze, and I hand people like you ammunition on a plate. Obviously this hurts my business, especially locally, where I have a good reputation, earned by honest hard work.

If I don't help and support my team, to achieve whatever it is that THEY want to achieve (nothing to do with me), as I promise I will when I meet them before they join, they are far more likely to get disgruntled and quit.

If you've ever had any business dealings at all you'll know that a happy customer will tell a few friends, but one that you upset will tell EVERYBODY.

I'm not going to tell you, because you won't know what it means anyway

SPAM?

Just another word for unsolicited mail, or junk mail.

From wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleeneze

Since the 1980s, Kleeneze has used a different approach, using catalogues which each Independent Distributor delivers to householders and then fulfills the orders. This method is not without drawbacks as many people throw away junk mail without reading it although many distributors have devised strategies to minimise the losses.

They seem to recognise it as being junk mail. I presume one ingenious brilliant strategy might be actually asking people if they want it, rather than showing an utter lack of respect and just dumping unwanted items into peoples private homes -and then having the cheek to actual expect them to store it, write notes, ring companies etc.

JohnC. · 13-08-2010 4:16pm

Yes, it is true they are very careful to keep it just on the legal side of being a pyramid scheme.

Though I particularly like these two bits from their own site

Remember, it is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by promising benefits from getting others to join a scheme.

If your friends and family like the idea of earning an extra income, then you can help them start their own home shopping business.

They become part of your ‘team’ and as they build their home shopping businesses, we’ll support them and reward you.

Before going on to outline the bonuses you get for building a bigger business.

In google if you type in "is kleeneze a" it automatically suggests "is kleeneze a scam"

First hit is then
http://www.squidoo.com/kleeneze

Why Kleeneze can make you cry. Here are the negatives.
What is it about Kleeneze that causes 99% of new distributors to quit? And what causes only 8.5% of those who don't quit to put orders through regularly?

Whether you are a current Kleeneze distributor, or just thinking about joining, or even an ex-distributor, this page is for you.

What are your thoughts?

A day in the life of a Kleeneze Distributor....
Independent Kleeneze Distributors are self-employed representatives of the company and earn a 21% commission from the sale of any items from any catalogues which they distribute, either to friends and family or door to door.

A Distrubutor with Kleeneze has this job to do before she earns any money:

1. The Kleeneze distributor buys a few hundred catalogues from Kleeneze, spending their own money. [Yes, the kleeneze company makes a profit from the sale of the catalogues to distributors]

2. The Kleeneze distributor posts a few hundred catalogues door to door, with a little note inside of what day they will be recollecting them.

3. The Kleeneze distributor waits whilst some of the people look through the catalogues and think about ordering things.

4. The Kleeneze distributor re-walks the same route as before, but this time knocking on the doors asking for the catalogue back (to re-use next time).

5. The Kleeneze distributor takes whatever catalogues they could re-collect home with them and counts up the orders, then enters them in on the Kleeneze website, under their name.

6. The Kleeneze distributor takes delivery (at their house) of all the products that all the customers ordered, then sorts them for each customer.

7. The Kleeneze distributor drives back around all the houses knocking the doors giving people what they ordered and collecting the cash.

8. The Kleeneze distributor finally takes all the cash home, keeps 21%, and sends the rest to Kleeneze UK LTD head office.

9. The Kleeneze distributor repeats the whole process the following week.

Wow...

The Vampire Distributors?
The goal of every Kleeneze Distributor is to recruit enough people into his or her Kleeneze business, who deliver catalogues door to door and repeat the 8 steps above, so that Mr or Mrs Kleeneze Distributor don't have to do it themselves.

This is because Kleeneze Distributors earn a percentage of the sales generated by the distributors they recruit.

Given the scarily-high drop out rate of new Kleeneze distributors, Mr Kleeneze Distributor succeeds in creating an "automatic residual income" only by recruiting an insane amount of new people. This is called Vampire Marketing.

New blood, new blood, new people, new people. Because no customers can put in orders directly with the company. So for any distributor to earn RESIDUAL income and not have to work for it is by having tons of new people. And those new people would need new people. And those new people.... you get the idea...

Someone has to be out there delivering catalogues! This is NOT the case in many other business opportunities, and there is no reason Kleeneze can't have their customers order directly from them and still pay the agent who introduced them.

There is plenty more in the link, it is easier to read it there in its original format.

If you don't want your windscreen washing do you have the right to tip his bucket of soapy water away?
I know you get aggressive people that will just start washing your windscreen without you asking - there are idiots in all walks of life - but almost all the ones I've come across just move on to the next car when you say 'no thanks'

I'm afraid I take pride in the outside appearance of my home, so I'm certainly not going to leave a plastic bag or magazine in my front garden for days on end until it's collected. I spend enough time picking up rubbish that's made it's way onto property without adding to it myself.

Valid point, but how do i know that before you tell me?
When we deliver catalogues unsolicited we ALWAYS pick up next day, but granted we also see other catalogues lying around for weeks on end.

If someone knocks on the door and asks if I want it, then I'll happily oblige if I'm interested, otherwise it becomes trash.

I would hope that if you say you don't want it then they wouldn't deliver it? but it's nice to know that you would just give a straight answer.

In all honesty I think I've delivered two catalogues (by accident) to people who have told me they don't want it. Not bad considering we started out delivering to 4,000 houses. But, believe it or not, it's not the most intellectually chalenging task, putting catalogues through letter boxes, and occasionally the mind wanders.

The obvious difference there is that he hasn't actually given me his bucket of water for a week. If he had, then yes, I wouldn't be keeping his water for him. But in reality, he hasn't given me his water so I would have to actually take it from him first. Whole different story.

You won't even get to ask the likes of me since I have no doorbell and will remove it if I move to a new house with one, so if nobody is home do not dump it in, you should presume it will be binned.

As I said before -The onus should be on the spammer to find out if somebody wants their advertisement, not the "spammee". It is crazy and wasteful that they are so presumptuous. From reading this thread and others the presumption should obviously be that people do NOT want these catalogues.

I'm not a regular on this forum, and neither are you judging by your 4 posts, but this sort of piss-ignorant mudslinging personal crap is not tolerated on Boards. Cop the fcuk on and have some self-respect before you resort to name-calling, it really is embarrassingly juvenile, and isn't going to help you win any debate, nor help with anyone taking your side. Grow up.

It's no wonder that Mr Kleeneze went anonymous rather than using his normal boards.ie login; he's the worst advertisement for his own company that you could imagine.
