"Sometimes we have struggled to work with the amount of new business leads delivered to us by the system Permission built."

- Graeme Norton – Select Cleaning Auckland

The Select Cleaning Auckland Franchise provides domestic cleaning services to busy professionals in the Auckland region who want to avoid the stress and work of cleaning their own house. They came to Permission back in April 2007 because they were concerned about the low number of new business leads coming from their website. Their own research told them that their target market was a strong user of the Internet; however, this wasn’t reflected in the new work enquiries they saw in their Inbox each week.

"We are well on the way to delivering on the expectations we have for this channel. Working with Permission has helped us remove any previous limitations that held us back and to let us really focus on our plans ahead."

- Claire Mitchell – OfficeMax

OfficeMax is New Zealand's leading supplier of office products and is part of a worldwide corporation that employs over 41,000 people in multiple businesses worldwide.

"SelectValet is definitely a start-up success story. Two things helped us achieve this. The first was our focus on presenting a great product to market – the second was Permission and their focus on supplying us a steady stream of leads. It's one hell of a combination."

- Mark Gilbert, SelectValet New Zealand

Launching a new business always comes with a fair amount of risk. The percentage of failures that don't make it past year one is staggering and anything that can reduce the likelihood of this occurring can only be a good thing. And so it was with all this in mind that Mark Gilbert approached Permission to assist in the launch of his new mobile car valet service – SelectValet.

"Our relationship with Permission goes back a long way because it works. They offer both a dependable service for online campaign management and a challenging perspective to help guide our strategy online."

- Reece Zondag CEO Les Mills New Zealand

Les Mills New Zealand started working with Permission back in November 2004. They initially contacted the company looking for some advice on further developing a project they had running to automatically communicate with members via email. A previous solution had come across some unexpected problems and some independent advice was now required to find a new vendor and assist in getting the project back on track.

"Fly Buys has come a long way with its online communications since those early campaigns back in 2004. Obviously there's been a large amount of change to make this happen – technology choices, creative suppliers, and internal team members – nevertheless, the path to where we are now from where we were has been a smooth and successful one. I put our relationship with Permission during this period as being an integral part of this achievement."

- Chris Lamers, Head of Marketing and Product Development

If you were a Fly Buys member back in mid 2004 you may have in your Inbox the first ever email message sent as a campaign on behalf of the Loyalty New Zealand marketing team. Back then Fly Buys had dispatched only a small number of email campaigns, all through agency providers. Unfortunately, these projects had taken longer than expected to deploy and came at a cost that made any ongoing campaign work seem cost prohibitive.

"We believe we have the right staff, products, selection and service standards for our market but when it came to online – while we were doing OK – we knew we could achieve at a higher level. Working with Permission has helped us in a number of different areas understand what that next level is and how to get there in simple, understandable and practical ways."

- Steve Preston – Managing Director – Choice Catering Equipment
