Export Success Without Leaving the Country

24 August 2007

Export Success Without Leaving the Country

A Wellington based online Business Plan tool is a finalist in the exporter of the year awards without once having setting foot overseas.

The Annual Wellington Emerging exporter of the year award recognises the success of new exporters who have been operating for less than three years. The award focuses on innovative marketing, leadership, direction and export strategy. It is only recenly that New Zealand exporters have been capable of achieving significant international success purely from online strategies.

Becoming experts in online marketing has been key in the success of PlanHQ in their first 11 months of operation. A combination of blogging and finding and initiating conversations with key web personalities and international thought leaders has enabled PlanHQ to secure 70% international sales, including a well known Venture Capitalist firm First Round Capital.

The Wellington ANZ Export Awards will be held Thursday 8th June at Te Papa. Fellow finalists in the Emerging exporter category are Pure New Zealand Foods and Pacific Perfumes.
