Testimonials

"I rate Franchise New Zealand as the best magazine of its type in the world because it is focussed on the needs of readers, has excellent distribution making it readily available and contains articles and features of enduring value so it has a long shelf life."
Stephen Giles, Partner, Deacons Melbourne

"We have opportunities all over the country, and we know we can rely upon Franchise New Zealand to have truly national reach. It's amazing the places that it gets to - and it is very effective in finding the true franchise buyers. It has good longevity, too - people obviously recognise it as an important source of information and hang on to it."
Mike Henderson, Paper Plus

"The New Zealand franchise industry owes your organisation a great big ‘thank you' for the marketing professionalism that you have bestowed upon it via Franchise New Zealand magazine & website. It is fantastic and an excellent medium for the promotion of franchise businesses. We look forward to continuing to use you as our major franchise advertising media."
Rene Mangnus, Crest Licensing Systems

"In the four years since I bought this franchise system your magazine has helped me a lot. I have 20 new franchisees and often find your articles clarify my thinking and help me with developing my business."
Gill Duncan, Baby-on-the-Move

"I rang to say thank you for the Franchise New Zealand magazine you sent me after I visited your internet site. I was really in the dark about franchising before I got this, and it's absolutely enlightening - so useful. I have already been in contact with [a lawyer] and [two franchise companies], and they are all being very helpful too. I just wanted to speak to you in person and say many thanks."
Rod Baker-Clemas, potential franchisee, Auckland

"Fabulous publication - I couldn't put it down. Your opening comments were spot on!"
Ann-Maree Conza, new subscriber

"The Reader Response Service is working really well. I think you've introduced a good new concept and should keep it going. The magazine works consistently for us, with a much longer exposure time than other promotions. I've been with Franchise New Zealand for five years now, and I just tell anyone who asks me to advertise with them that Franchise New Zealand is where I spend my money because it gets me results."
Owen Payne, The Touch Up Guys, former master franchisee

"We've ceased advertising in the newspapers - it was a waste of money. We get far more genuine enquiries from Franchise New Zealand. They don't all come to fruition, of course, but most are genuinely looking for franchises. It's the best marketing point for us."
Lynn Cook, Cookright, franchisor

"We now advertise exclusively with Franchise New Zealand magazine, from which we receive a steady stream of enquiries. We tried to specifically target one regional market earlier this year, but the calibre of enquiries just wasn't as high."
Mike Roberts, former GM, Brumby's

"The improvement in quality and standard of your publication continues to impress us."
Ken Gamblin, Kitchen Studio, franchisor

"Franchise New Zealand may well be the best investment we have ever made!"
Chris Woodhams, Mr Whippy, franchisor

"I've just bought a franchise through your magazine. It's an excellent publication - top rate.
Rob Koops, Icon Business Solutions, new franchisee

"Anyone looking to sell a franchise would have to be nuts not to be in Franchise New Zealand magazine."
Dale Anderson, Mr Rentals franchisor

"The adverts are working really well and we are getting excellent qualified prospects. The best method we have tried for advertising - the only method we will continue to use."
John Garlick, Nature Discoveries, franchisor

"The magazine has been very good at providing us with strong qualified leads."
Dave Shatford, CEO, Approved Mortgage Brokers franchisor

"The Franchise New Zealand team have an incredible depth of knowledge that they are happy to share with their clients. I have enjoyed their support, their advice and their contacts. Earlier this year I even sold my first overseas master licence thanks to a personal introduction made by the team."
Sophie Hartigan, Jumping Beans International Ltd, franchisor

"Thank you for such wonderful reading in Volume 14, Issue 2. As a new franchisor I find the articles in this magazine are invaluable and I can frequently be found devouring the pages in the wee small hours. I am still smiling at the 'Dear Franchisee' article by Ann Andrews."
Patsy Clarkin, Invites New Zealand, franchisor

"Your magazine has done so much...you will be blessed! The other day, there was this chap from an advertising firm that came to the store, he was a Sri Lankan and asked to see me, he said he had read the supreme award article and wanted to show me some demo for digital advertising....he said he was in awe of me and wanted an excuse to come see me. He also mentioned that when he gave the Franchise New Zealand magazine to a colleague to read my article, after reading my story she left the job she was doing and invested in a home cleaning franchise.

Early this month at the franchise expo at the Jesters stall, at least three individual migrants came up to me and said they recognised me from the story they'd read in your magazine. Later on in the weekend two people came to Grant at the expo and asked whether I was going to be there. There are a lot of people that come to the store and tell me that they have read the article. Yes!! it is true...in a way your magazine does turn many people's lives!! Who does not want to read a success story !! Your article has influenced many....in different ways!!"
Shiraz Hajee, Jesters, Westpac Supreme Franchisee of the Year 2005
