New Zealand Post and 'Talking Post Boxes'
Listening to a poem by a well known artist is probably the last thing
you would expect to hear when you post a letter.
But that is what you will hear at some designated New Zealand Post mail boxes in Wellington.
In a unique contribution to Writers and Readers Week, New Zealand Post has engaged LiftVoice to educate and amuse its postal clients. Using a heat sensitive system, LiftVoice has been able to activate speech through the simple act of posting a letter.
As the item goes into the slot a response saying something like "Cheers" or "Hang on a moment" is resulting in some startled and in some case humorous reactions.
Perhaps one of the most unique forms of marketing in New Zealand at this point of time the letterbox is now likely to quote the Bard or the Bar Code.
If nothing else the "Chatter Boxes" are the Talk of Wellington.
