Testimonials

Paul and Michelle, Imaginate Marketing have been the Sales and Marketing consultants/contractors for our two brands, Taupo Bungy and Mokai Gravity Canyon for some time now. Their efforts have produced significant results in branding, collateral, international exposure and agent agreements. Their no fuss, practical approach to communications and customer/agent updates has ensured our Brands are front of mind in our market segments.

I can’t thank the crew at Imaginate Marketing enough!

Not only are they timely and professional in all that they do, but they always do it with a smile.  They understand my business, my requirements and the market that we are involved in.  Imaginate have made my life (as a small business owner) so much easier!!!!

After several years of owning Putt Putt Rotorua and not really obtaining a suitable return from my investment, I decided it was time to seek professional support as to growing the business. Imaginative Marketing had been referred to me by another operator in the Tourism Industry and I accordingly contacted Paul.

During the last year the support and direction I have received from Imaginative Marketing has certainly added a professional aspect to the marketing of my business. Given the many different opportunities of marketing your product these days, it has certainly been helpful to have someone like Paul & his team to advise where to spend your promotional dollar. Further-more, a rebranding of the business has also added another dimension to my business which I would not have been able to achieve without their support.

There is no doubt that Putt Putt Rotorua has been put on a far more professional basis and I have no doubt that the business will continue to grow in the future thanks to their support.

I employed the services of imaginate marketing for two main reasons.

1. Pauls past experience in the sales and marketing area of the tourism sector
2. Also the relationships he has developed in his past roles both within NZ and also internationally

By bringing Paul and his team onboard has saved me alot of time dealing with day to day marketing issues that pop up everyday, just pass to him and it is dealt with and easy for me to pass the buck onto him. By working with imaginate marketing we have been able to stream line our advertising and take a more direct and targeting approach rather than the shotgun affect. by doing this we have really saved Thousands of dollars.

It has been very valuable to use Paul and his team as a sounding board to discuss ideas, as this is very much appreciated in a small business, as we do not always have the infrastructure or knowledge. The marketing plans and initiatives we have developed together have given us a very professional approach with our marketing collateral and also communication with trade domestic and internationally which i know we could not have done with out his help. The results are speaking for themselves.

We highly recommend Imaginate Marketing for not just small businesses but at all levels. Imaginate Marketing is great for one off jobs or contract roles.

We have hired the services of Paul and the team at Imaginate Marketing LTD for the past 12 months and found them to be a pleasure to deal with.

Right from the start they listened to what we wanted from our marketing and they have achieved this within budgets and time frames given to them by us.

Imaginate Marketing has taken the whole process of dealing with advertisers of our hands but not out of our control and with there wealth of knowledge and contacts within the tourism industry have provided our company with the ability to spend our limited advertising dollar much more effectively.

Ross and I have been working with Paul and Michelle now for the last couple of years . We find that nothing is a problem with what we ask of them and things happen in a reasonable time frame. They have a good understanding of where we are heading . We would be happy in recommending them to other operators.

I have known Paul Trowell for several years, having met during his sales trips to North America as well as appointments during TRENZ. Paul’s enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, the regions of New Zealand is excellent and his professional nature has led to Goway increasing the regional coverage in our brochures.

I have known Paul Trowell for a few years now but have only just started working closer with him and all I can say is that he is an absolute professional with whatever job he does for us. Paul has a great personality, lots of enthusiasm and most importantly a complete knowledge of the tourism industry and this is the reason why we have chosen to use his services, which I’m pleased to say have produced results for both the Agrodome and Lakeland Queen.

Two years ago, we purchased an old ski lodge at Mount Ruapehu that sleeps 165 people, it needed a lot of work to turn it into something special, we found that it was a full time job just working on the property, its endless, and still is!!

The problem we had was finding the time to concentrate on the marketing, we realised that we had to develop the business the same time as we developed the property, otherwise we would end up with a great place to stay but who would know about it!

Paul and Michelle have really taken a massive work load off our shoulders, six months after introducing them to our business, we consider them key personnel, we follow their marketing directions, and trust their recommendations, together they are a great team and we have total confidence in them, and that’s not said lightly!!

The results of a good marketing strategy is starting to pay off, we can see our place growing the way we’d have liked from the beginning.

We started working with Imaginate Marketing nearly a year ago on a project basis. We were impressed with their high degree of responsiveness and results accountability at the outset, and have since been rewarded with excellent creativity and communication. We look forward to using their cost effective expertise to augment our team’s resources in the future.

GEON Print Group have been proudly working with Imaginate Marketing for the last 4 years, I’ve found the team great to deal with in all areas.

Paul and Michelle, I would like to thank you for your professionalism and enthusiasm in helping me market Taupos Floatplane.

Marketing has been and is still a nightmare to me. There are so many new ideas being thrown in your face every day, weeding out the time wasters and not wasting hard earned money seems impossible, especially when I only had a small amount of time to devote to it myself. I would much rather be in the plane. With your help and guidance the money I ended up spending certainly has had a more positive result.

Rebranding of the business (although I was skeptical at first) has also added another dimension to my business which I would not have been able to achieve without your support.

Michelle your hard labour keeping my website and news letter fresh and exciting is certainly paying dividends.

Keep up the good work.
