Bizzone Expo kicks off with smart marketing theme

The Bizzone Business Expo, now being franchised as part of a total Business Support Package in Australia, opens its doors on 27 May in Auckland offering a NZ$100,000 smart marketing door prize.

It is essential that companies, both large and small, learn to get ‘smart’ and market ‘smart’ given the challenging economic times and this year’s largest event for business in New Zealand, the Bizzone Business Expo, will give everyone the opportunity to be smarter in business – everyone visiting the 2009 Bizzone Business Expo will be in to win a smart marketing prize worth $100,000 simply by stepping through the doors.

The Bizzone Business Expo was established as part of a Total Business Support Package that also includes the Vero Excellence in Business Support Awards and the Bizzone magazine, New Zealand’s largest circulating business magazine. NZ Prime Minister John Key will present this year’s awards at a gala dinner for 600 business people.

Bizzone Managing Director, Sarah Trotman, says there is already strong interest in the advertising and PR franchise and she urges potential franchisees to visit the expo in Auckland this month to see for themselves a world-class event in action.

“The Bizzone Business Expo has expanded with great success from Auckland to Wellington and Christchurch. Now franchisees have the opportunity to take a Total Business Support model to each state of Australia,” she says.

“The Bizzone Business Expo in Auckland this year will provide business people with a host of smart marketing ideas and The National Bank Seminar Series, free to all expo visitors, will have a dedicated smart marketing morning. People can also get advice from some of the country’s top marketing experts,” she says.

“Whatever business you are in you will get excellent business advice at the Bizzone Business Expo – that is why thousands of people visit it every year and why it has become so successful.”

The Bizzone Business Expo is held annually in New Zealand in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and 13,500 business people attend the event each year. The Bizzone Business Expo is on in Auckland on 27-29 May, Wellington on 22-24 July and Christchurch on 5-7 August.
