Taupo DeBretts Scoops Award

Klixo client, Taupo DeBretts Thermal Resort, have scooped up the inaugural 'Smart Business' awards at this years' HAPNZ conference.

The award, sponsored by Jasons Travel Network, recognises businesses finding innovative solutions to identified business challenges.

Entrants were asked to identify concerns, obstacles and opportunities within their business and outline what they had done to overcome these. Taupo DeBretts’ challenge was centered around re-branding and optimizing their marketing, using the internet.

Taupo DeBretts Thermal Resort Manager, Barry Kirkland, said they were proud to be recipients of what they considered a prestigious award.

“This award recognises the hard work from everyone in our team who are committed to leading the way in a worldwide market. We are a business known for setting examples in the industry and this award is further proof of that".

Mr. Kirkland said that by working with his own team of innovative partners, he was able to explore new ways instead of relying on the standard methods previously used.

"The way of the future is to use the growth of the Internet to specifically target our market. We call it 'doing business at the speed of thought'", Mr Kirkland said.
