    www.papakuracourier.co.nz Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Theft reignites grief By HINERANGI VAIMOSO IT’S been two years since members of Aaron Hubbard Tarry’s family first mourned his death. But their grief resurfaced this month after relatives arrived at Papakura South Cemetery to find his head- stone damaged and items, including a 22-inch mag wheel, missing. Aaron, 21, was well known in the Papakura district and took his life in July 2009. His family unveiled the headstone with inscriptions of love and remembrance embossed across it a year later. Laying across the grave were fluffy dice, the grille from a Mitsubishi VR-4 – Aaron’s last project before his death – a steering wheel and a big blue ceramic fish from one of the younger family members, dad Doug Tarry says. A 22-inch mag wheel was embedded in the top of the marble headstone to indicate Aaron’s passion for building and driving cars, brother Reece says. Another 17-inch chrome mag also adorned the grave. The chrome mag and the steering wheel were taken just over a week ago. The 22-inch mag was also chiselled off and stolen. Sitting in the centre of the mag was a picture of Aaron which was later found face-up on the stone fence along Gat- land Rd. The steering wheel was Desecrated: Reece Hubbard Tarry is ‘‘gutted’’ thieves have stolen a 22-inch mag wheel and other items from his brother Aaron’s grave in Papakura South Cemetery. also located.

The traditional “Christmas Sales period” has expanded substantially with pre-Christmas sales including Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing day. Whilst this helps to distribute the festive rush across a longer period it does make holiday campaign planning more complex for retailers. Growing digital channels, such as mobile, video and social present vast opportunities for retailers during the holiday season. Data shows that more than half of ecommerce traffic is driven by mobile devices in NZ and additionally more than 65% of potential customers start their shopping research by feeding a search query into a mobile device. Making it essential for retailers to remember to run their campaigns mobile optimised. Total online retail spending by New Zealanders in December was up 14% compared to the previous December, bringing the 2016 annual spend level to $3.75 billion. Total online retail spending by New Zealanders in January was up 16% compared to the previous January* *BNZ online retail sales index Acquire Online tip: Increased demand during the Christmas period means CPMs rise , plan your campaigns early to secure the best inventory and build your remarketing pool.
