In early April we will be launching the Made From New Zealand network, the online home for companies and entrepreneurs with the Kiwi DNA.

A twelve month membership to the Made From New Zealand network comes free when you buy a Made From New Zealand teeshirt. These are only $100 plus GST and and $6.00 delivery charge (total price $118.50). With the cost of some basic e-commerce shopping carts alone (let alone the costs of developing a website) running to around $1500, this offer represents incredible value.

As a member of the Made From New Zealand network, you will receive a fully integrated online networking and ecommerce presence that identifies you as being a Made From New Zealand company and a suite of tools to help you leverage your ‘New Zealandness’, reach and sell your products to New Zealanders at home and around the world, and grow your businesses.

Membership will include:

1. A profile page, on which you can demonstrate your connection with New Zealand, describe what your company does, where you are based and your contact details, including a link to your existing website. This is your ‘Kiwi business card’ which identifies your company as a Made From New Zealand enterprise.

2. The ability to Add Friends, much in the same way as myspace. This will allow you to promote other members you have working relationships with, so you can refer others to any of your good suppliers, customers and colleagues that you want to give a boost to. It also acts as a way to demonstrate your own credibility, in much the same way as a trade reference does. Members with more friends are more likely to be trustworthy, so the more you add the better.

3. e-commerce: the site will provide all members with a powerful e-commerce facility that visitors will be able to access via each members profile or via a ‘shopping mall’ page which lists all members’ products.

The e-commerce system we are using has been designed over anumber of years by Hamilton based technology company jet20, and is the safest system available in the marketplace. Among its features are a patented returns management system which holds customers money in trust until delivery is verified, integration with courier companies’ track and trace systems, and the ability to easily master email marketing to your customer base.

It is a true multi-supplier e-commerce system, which allows shoppers to buy goods from across the Made From New Zealand network and pay with one transaction, making shopping easier and safer for users.

By removing the need for applying for individual merchant codes, members can set up an online shopping cart within minutes and begin trading.

We can also supply users with individual Made From New Zealand electronic storefronts which can be integrated into their own websites.

4. Online Forums: members will have access to message boards which will provide expert advisory services and provide further networking and connecting functionality, particularly for exporters.

5. Marketing Assets: as well as the suite of online tools described above, Made From New Zealand members will also be provided with digital assets you can use in your presentations, websites and marketing material.

These will include:

- ‘Your logo here’ cuts of the Silver Fern footage

- Hi res images of the fern and its creation by award winning photographer Jane Ussher

- Made From New Zealand badges for websites, which click through to your own www.madefromnewzealand.com profile page.
