Fairdinks Delivery has gone completely butt litter free with No BuTTs award-winning Pocket Ashtrays.
Fairdinks Delivery was created to provide an online option and delivery service for Costco Melbourne clients regardless of where they live, whether in Melbourne or anywhere else in Australia.
Launched in early 2011, Fairdinks Delivery can deliver anything that can be purchased from Costco, including fresh fruit, vegetables and groceries all the way up to large household items such as refrigerators, plasma screen TVs and furniture.
"Fairdinks Delivery is a fantastic company and we are delighted to welcome them to No BuTTs as one of our latest Butt Free Businesses." said Jack Jacobson, No BuTTs
Managing Director.
"Costco is absolutely amazing and it's easy to bring household items home yourself, but what do you when you want to purchase something too big to take home by yourself - because Costco doesn't deliver."
"Fairdinks is a brilliant solution, and as a regular Costco customer I can't tell you how many times I've looked at an item and asked myself just how the hell do I get it home - and Fairdinks Costco delivery service has solved that problem."
"But Fairdinks has taken it one step further by allowing their clients to select, order and pay for any of around 1,000 of Costco's most popular items via the Fairdinks website, and have it delivered by Fairdinks staff, all with a few easy mouse clicks to their website."
"You don't even need to be a member of Costco to take advantage of this super convenient service, because the folks at Fairdinks Delivery are, and they can go and get any items you require and deliver them straight to your home."
"I'm not a smoker, and I wish my staff didn't smoke," said Arron Wood, Founder of Fairdinks Delivery, "but the reality is that many of our staff do smoke, and I started wondering just what they did with their cigarette butts when out doing Fairdinks deliveries."
"And I wasn't very happy at all when I discovered the answer, so we looked for a solution to staff cigarette butt littering."
"As soon as I discovered No BuTTs Pocket Ashtrays I knew it was the simple solution to our problem."
"And it's a real big problem, not only for the environment, but just as importantly, for the public image and corporate profile of every business that has staff or contractors who smoke." said Jack.
"And any managers or business owner that chooses to ignore this serious issue, or maybe doesn't understand the ramifications to their business, does so at their own peril."
"It always amazes me how many businesses do everything they can to promote their company in a positive way, but for various reasons don't or haven't addressed this issue - one that is so critical to their public image."
"The fact is it doesn't get much worse for the public image of any business or organisation than when their staff or contractors litter their butts."
"And it's much worse when their smokers are out and about representing the company they work for - especially when in company uniform, or safety jacket or vehicle, etc, because people do notice cigarette butt littering - and it's a very bad look."
"No BuTTs Pocket Ashtrays eliminate this problem completely, for around $3 per employee." said Jack.
"In fact, more and more of our customers every day are realising the amazing eco-friendly promotional benefits of our Pocket Ashtrays, and ordering them with their logo, website and slogan printed on them, for distribution not only to staff, but also to customers - and everyone else they can think of."
"And because smoking is a contentious issue, and we occasionally hear the misguided comment that "because they're distributing Pocket Ashtrays, maybe in some way they're 'encouraging' smoking", we always suggest the inclusion of our slogan 'Protect our environment - Better still quit smoking' on our clients Pocket Ashtrays - and this can be done at no additional cost."
"We call that remark 'The Ostrich Comment!' said Jack
It's akin to someone putting their head in the sand beacause it completely misses the point that smokers are going to smoke, with or without an ashtray. It's kind of like saying that smoke detectors encourage arson, or Airbags encourage head on collisions - and it's a proposition that completely ignores reality and doesn't stand up to logic."
"What No BuTTs and our clients are actually saying is that it would be better if you quit smoking now, but if you can't, at least you can quit littering right now and from this point on."
"For a whole lot of reasons, No BuTTs and over 10,000 of our clients around the world think it's much better for their smokers to smoke 'with' an ashtray than without one. And it's for this same reason that all Fairdinks Delivery staff now carry a Personal Ashtray with them so that whenever and wherever they light up, they can always do the right thing with their butts."
"That's good for all and great for the environment - and Fairdinks Delivery deservedly earn Brownie Points for their high standards of environmental responsibility."
