"Feedback from round the globe and with the experience gained from producing New Zealand's first DVD for the sell thru market and including 8 languages on the one tourism DVD ( English, Japanese, German, Spanish, French,Italian, Thai and Korean), has shown DVD Power there is a huge new and growing target market internationally waiting to be tapped into using innovative and new ways to deliver the NZ tourism message.

"Effective global marketing is all about getting the message retained by the target audience via the most cost effective method available, to push the right buttons in generating the desire and a must have attitude from the customer".
