New Internet Marketing Training For New Zealand Service Businesses

Tauranga, New Zealand

4 May 2001

Many New Zealand businesses get lame results from their website and online properties. But now, Marketing Geek Ltd has released an audio training on internet marketing specially designed to help service businesses in New Zealand.

For a limited time the CD is available free to qualifying businesses. It’s titled Get Internet Smart and tells how to make the most of the internet to get more clients, sales and cash flow. The training is by Luke Foster, internet marketing consultant and director of Marketing Geek, based in Tauranga.

“Kiwi businesses get a raw deal when it comes to internet marketing advice. They often end up with costly websites that fail to bring in new clients or make a profit,” says Foster. He adds they’re seldom told that a website on its own won’t bring in new business.

“Businesses need a solid internet marketing plan to get bottom line results. Get Internet Smart explains how to make such a plan and put it to work.”

Internet use is booming in New Zealand as consumers continue to move to digital. As this shift occurs businesses need to re-examine their marketing and advertising spend.

The training CD starts by summarising the state of the market place and explaining why so many businesses get poor results. It then goes on to give the marketing essentials and lays out a six part system for marketing on the internet.

The tools and tactics for online marketing are also covered, including topics such as search engine marketing, website development, social media and mobile marketing.

“The goal is to give businesses a complete overview of how to really take advantage of the internet. After listening they should be able to beat out just about any competition.”

Businesses can get their free copy from the site www.marketinggeek.co.nz/training-cd

Foster says he describes a service business as anyone who has clients rather than customers, “people who are under your care.”

Pattrick Smellie Comment: Doddling along the best we can hope forCriticising Budgets for lacking vision or imagination is like shooting fish in a barrel, but even so, this year's Budget again feels like a missed opportunity. Perhaps it's the intrusion of real world needs that means the government couldn't make better political use of the $558.8 million it expects to gather in its first partial asset sale. More >>
