The Offer of a Free Piece of New Zealand is Simply too Good to Pass

The small guys sometimes prove they have what it takes, a truth that has been shown by the all-out success of New Zealand Focus following their offer of a free piece of New Zealand. Having proved the sceptics wrong, the New Zealand Focus team moves from strength to strength as they show the world what they really want to know about New Zealand.

(PRWEB) February 8, 2005 -- When New Zealand Focus' Tourism Information Guides to New Zealand were launched in early October there was some scepticism as to the future of the fledgling website. While other large New Zealand Directory and Tourism websites suggested that the new site would not succeed, New Zealand Focus was busy sweeping away their visitors by storm. The offer of their stunning Scenic New Zealand Screensaver with all newsletter subscriptions proved so successful that the site design team had to quickly buy more bandwidth. But they didn't stop there.

Greg Scowen, the creator behind the site, wanted to give something else away, something precious to any New Zealand Tourism Operator... free webspace. Introducing the new Tourism Directory on New Zealand Focus, Greg took small businesses by surprise, offering them a full page of advertising in the directory for free without any strings attached. Over a 2 week period more than 200 businesses added their listings complete with images to the site, making the directory the fastest growing directory of it's kind in New Zealand, and upsetting some of the big names on the way.

Having received abuse form an over zealous webmaster Greg wasn't about to be dissuade from his new mission; To provide the best Tourism Information Guides to New Zealand available, without charging visitors or businesses a cent. Today, only 4 short months later, New Zealand Focus is growing at a rapid rate, and is quickly becoming one of the most recognised and visited sites within the New Zealand Tourism industry. To improve the site and reach it out to a new audience Greg has now partnered with Jasna Dimanoski, a German translator, to work on the translation of the entire site into German. Work is currently underway and progress is steady.

New Zealand Focus now has over 4000 pages of quality New Zealand tourism information, some 600 of which are in German. The site is growing daily and more plans are on the horizon... oh, and you can still download that free screensaver or advertise your New Zealand tourism operation for free.
