Employment Sponsorship
Since reopening in September 2023, Nisa has struggled to get enough sales to keep us going and build up working capital and reserves.
This is due to a raft of issues including
- over-saturating customers during the Nisa close-down sale and PledgeMe campaign,
- nearly everyone we meet still thinks Nisa is closed, so having to rebuild awareness of Nisa in Wellington and New Zealand,
- and the downturn in the New Zealand economy having a big effect on everyone, especially in Wellington.
So, we are putting it out there for you, our customers, to help keep our staff employed through this difficult time.
You may have too many pairs of briefs from us right now, but if you would like to help us make it through, without over-consuming, you can now sponsor some of our staff's employment costs which are living wages, and help us weather this storm.
You can make a one-off payment, or choose a recurring amount every 1, 2, or 4 weeks.
Every dollar given this way will be used to pay our staff's wages while sales are low.
Yours,
The Nisa 2.0 Team
