In the past year we generated interest in the site (and the destination) by running dedicated Google AdWords campaigns, banner advertising on Trade Me, Travel Bug, NZ Herald, Scoop and Stuff sites, and ensuring the 'call to action' on all collateral and domestic advertising drove inquiries to rotoruaNZ.com.
Overall we had healthy increases in traffic to rotoruaNZ.com for the June '08-May '09 period compared to the previous year, which resulted in additional exposure for your product or service.
