expats e‐newsletter takes a new direction this month when we start adding a bit of colour (UK)/color(US)! ☺
In addition to your expat sales items, you’ll find interesting bits of press we noted in the local news, as well as ads and here and there either local or google’d photography. If you have nice photos or stories to tell please send it over for our webmaster’s consideration. Funny pics are always popular, if you do submit please tell us a little bit about the incident.
We want to welcome all our new subscribers and hope you find the newsletter interesting.
Just to confirm, that “yes” you are welcome to submit expat event news free of charge. Bear in mind that the e‐newsletter goes out no more than twice per month, so send your notices sooner rather than later.
With kind regards,
Webmaster

This carpenter made himself a fixed radial saw with a KD40 saw, and a homemade workbench. On quick calculations he saved himself KD200 or more!
We don’t think health inspectors would be too happy with this.

With the highway chockers this parent still felt it safe for the child, no more than three years old, to play around in the car ‐ with the parent driving no less! Is the
obvious so difficult to understand? We hope that someday people get to grips with this dangerous neglect of children’s safety.
Expats email newsletter – a few pointers on what this newsletter is about...
Who can advertise for free? Private individuals (i.e. non-commercial entities)
What can be advertised? Anything that’s legal to own or use in Kuwait (event tickets, social events,
furniture, cars, whatever!)
Are you a buyer looking for something specific? Tell 1200+ expats in Kuwait what you are looking for,
maybe you need a KD1500 budget used car, gym membership in Salwa, a squash partner, dancing classes, you
name it. A request will typically read “I am looking for ……. Contact David 112233445”
How to contact the newsletter: mail us on [email protected] or
How much does it cost? Nothing! Except for a bit of your time, that’s all!
Can non-subscribed people advertise in the newsletter? For sure!
May you resubmit “unsold” goods? No problem.
Who receives the newsletter? It gets sent out to around 1200 expat email addresses, but as many of these
are forwarded to third or fourth parties your guess will be as good as ours.
How often does the newsletter get published? At least once a month, or twice if its a busy month.
How safe is my email address if I subscribe to this newsletter? The newsletter database is managed by
the owner of www.abcq8.com who - after a decade in the country - understands and respects the sensitivity of
the subject. No email will ever be traded commercially or made available to any third party.

Advertising tips:
o Send photographs of you sales items – works a charm! o Include your phone number in the ad – you’ll sell more stuff quicker than doing business via email. o Price your items strategically – don’t use the “I paid KDxx a year ago so I should be getting KDyy for it”
approach, remember buyers have a wide commercially available choice to choose from whereas you the advertiser want to move your stuff asap (but for a few exceptions, do expect to loose a bit of money – you may not have the time but the buyer does!).
o Be willing to accept “offers” from buyers. o “Batch” your goods into obvious groupings, for example kitchen goods, computer bits, HiFi etc, plants and
greenery etc.
