Kleeneze HQ getting ready to do away with the For More Information Box


Is Kleeneze HQ getting ready to do away with the

For More Information

Box on the back of the main catalogues?



Kleeneze have done away with the words (contact your Kleeneze Distrbutor) from the box. Kleeneze also have introducing the barcode to the box limiting space and making any words or numbers harder to read for the customer ho may need to contacted the distributor.

Today Kleeneze independent agents use more and more ways to keep in contact with customer but Kleeneze HQ is going into the opposite and providing less and less room to mark our catalogues. We are also battling with the company for agents in advertising online. Maybe this is why we can’t stamp our books anymore with our emails or websites etc?

Below is an email to Kleeneze and the reply back. Which sounds like the delete bin?

Hi Kleeneze HQ,
Just would like to know why Kleeneze have been reducing the For More Information square on the back of the Kleeneze catalogues over the years.
As a Kleeneze independent agent to keep cost down I've always stamped my books. Now there's isn't anywhere to leave the agents details.

Dear Kleeneze HQ,

Thank you for your phone call today. A very helpful and plight member of staff said Kleeneze is reintroducing the ( Contact your Kleeneze Distributor ) to the FOR MORE INFOMATION box on the back of the catalogue.

Is it also true from the phone call, Kleeneze HQ is no longer providing an aria for your Kleeneze Independent Distributors to stamp their details on the back of there books?

Dear Mr Whittaker

Thank you for your recent email.

I can confirm that a space will always be left on the back of catalogues for distributors to enter their details.

Dear Kleeneze HQ
Thanks for a reply to the email. As you are aware it wasn’t the answer to the question I asked. Once upon a time Kleeneze HQ would be whiter than white with information now it’s more like 50 shades of grey now!

So I’ll try again. On the back of the Kleeneze catalogues is Kleeneze HQ no longer going to provide a white square for the Kleeneze Independent Distributors to be able to stamp the books with each Kleeneze Independent Distributors details on? Or as to the previous phone call, Kleeneze HQ are  providing the books with Information square on, but with a faded background image of the item being sold from the back page. If this is the case, you can see the agents stamp won’t show up in the information square.

Is Kleeneze HQ no longer going to provide a white square for the Kleeneze Independent Distributors to be able to stamp the books with each Kleeneze Independent Distributors details on?

Dear Mr Whittaker, 

Thank you for your email. 

I can see from the email below and the log on your account that we have advised on more than one occasion that the box on the reverse of the catalogues will remain.  

As we need as much space as possible on the reverse of the catalogue for the item information this box cannot be made bigger, however we feel it is big enough for the information needed to be entered here on a label that we can provide. 

I apologise that we cannot make the amendment of which you have requested.   

Kind regards,

( The above email Kleeneze HQ keep saying they are keeping the box as they said in the Phone call earlier. But what kleeneze are not saying, but said in the phone call is yes they are keeping the box but the box will no longer be white background but a transparent back ground which is fine for a label but no use for a Kleeneze Independent Agent whishing to stamp there catalogues. )

Dear HQ,
Thank you for your quick response to the email but you are dodging the Question again. Not shore if Kleeneze HQ is doing this on purpose or just reading the question differently. On my catalogues I use a stamp with an ink pad. If you are unshorn what I am mean that I stamp my catalogues please say so. Kleeneze HQ has started on the catalogues to stop having a white Square for the information and started to fade the back ground picture in on the information Square. If you are having trouble relating to the question pick up the spring / summer catalogue 2017 and have a look. I understand different member of staff may phone or reply to an email and are reading questions differently.

Is Kleeneze HQ telling me I will no longer be able to Stamp my catalogues as the Information Square on the back of the catalogue will have a faded picture in it?

Dear Kleeneze,

Thank you for your quick response. Thank you for changing your minds on the transparent box and to be introducing the words again (Contact your Kleeneze Distributor). Theirs still the barcode in this box. As Kleeneze HQ been putting the bar code in their for some years now. Just remember Kleeneze you never had it in the box at the beginning.
You don’t need to reply to this email.
Looking forward to see the next publication.

Yours sincerely
Raymond Whittaker

Dear Mr Whittaker,

Thank you for your response.

I am happy to hear you are satisfied with our response.
I can advise that the barcode will remain in the information box on the reverse of the catalogues as previously advised, this is due to the space outside of the box needed for information on the back page item.
Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact the Service Centre.

Kind regards,
Kayleigh Martin

The above picture is of a 2017 Kleeneze catalogue. Which has a space to stick a sticker on but using a stamp goes over the bar code and smaller boxes. which makes the agents details harder to read. I few years ago Kleeneze catalogues had the square only for the agents stamp.
