Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

simplenakedsoap keeps your skin healthy and radiant without all the harsh chemicals thanks to soap made from real goats milk, from real goats from the goats farm that Tracey and Malcolm run in Balclutha. 

Keeping with the cleanliness theme, I try out Odorex anti-odour shoe deodoriser that NZ Defence Force, NZ Diary and other large companies rely on to keep their staffs feet odour and fungal free. 

Healthpak provides toiletries at scale to New Zealand hotels, motels as well as international airlines including Air New Zealand. Watch to see how they're part of the solution to sustainable portion control for hospitality operators. 

Drift Chat has been amazing for buynz.org.nz as it enables text messaging to visitors answering their questions in real-time instead of them having to use a contact form. Truly amazing to see three businesses join after their questions were answered. It's been fascinating to listen to what perceived barriers businesses see with the licensing process which will help us shape what our website says. A strong yes from me for any business engaged in complex online sales processes s.

Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome back. My name is Ryan Jennings. This is episode 10 of the provenance marketing show. We're starting to get into a bit of a pace now and B products are stacking up, Fyi, New Zealand made, so today we thought we'd go for some on a bit of a theme, which is about keeping clean and smelling fresh. First up, I want to talk about simple naked soap. These guys are based down in Balclutha. Would you believe in a Otago and Tracy and Malcolm have built up a beautiful brand. I love the, this is one of the goats here, but they go further than just the brand. Their products are an alternative to mass market, highly artificial products to clean or to shave or wash with, and it's made entirely from goat's milk, but more than that, it's made from goat's milk, from their own goats,

Speaker 2:

good smell because she's got that beautiful fat in it. That's really nice for your skin, that creamy thing where water can be quite drying on your skin. The goat's milk is just nice and moisturizing. It puts all that, all that good stuff back in the skin. Basically,

Speaker 1:

so each of these, the neem oil and goat's milk one here, uh, the goat's milk and egg yolk one, these are all made from goat's milk from the goats on their own farms. So this is all handmade boutique quantities and it really goes to show that if you want to go from start to finish on something and you, you're determined enough which Tracy and Malcolm there certainly are, then this is a way of doing it. Next up on the list is this company is called odor x. Not something that anyone really wants to talk about is Oda in this specific circumstance. It is foot and shoo deodorizer to keep your feet smelling good and not too offensive to everyone who may work with you. These guys took it to another level though. So this is an industrial footwear deodorizer that they won the contract to provide this to the New Zealand Defense Force. So you can imagine how many pairs of boots this prevents from getting smelly. They've also made a headlines or made headway into companies like New Zealand dairy and New Zealand steel. And it's because this actually works. There's lots of things that say they'll take odor away. Uh, but this one actually works. I'm not just saying that. I'll tell you why. So I do a lot of running, probably not as much as I should, but I do a lot. These started to smell about a month ago because a couple of times I forgot my socks when I brought my gym bag to work. And Luckily Bronwyn, Robert, me, some of this, and I used a little bit on my shoes and they're getting there. They Beta, they were pretty bad. Uh, this is acceptable. Now, if I was to go to the gym, I don't think I would have been fellow gym goers. They say on the back, you've got to use it daily until the smell goes away. So I've still got a few more days to go. If you'd like to win these products again, let us know and we'll be giving those away as a business. They've been around for quite some time. So they're family owned, the Roberts family, uh, own odor x and have been around for, I think it's coming up 30 years. So as long as indeed made last up today. Last but not least is a company called health pack. Pretty Amazing Company in terms of the volume of what they make. They've sent us a couple of different things from their range health peck art experts at providing portion controlled soap and washing products to hotels and motels and even airlines. They supply six international airlines including it New Zealand and a producing. I think in my notes I had over a million products a day. That's quarter of a billion products per annum that has going out with our QE trademark on the back. And this product I've just picked up here is called the eco stick because no one wants waste, particularly in the hotels and motels. You know, New Zealand is known for being clean and green. It wouldn't be the case if we knew that 87 million bottles that could be recycled maybe aren't in hotels and motels around New Zealand Healthpac I tried to fix that with these biodegradable, these breakdown and I think a few years rather than a few decades or thousands of years and the single maybe double portion. What's neat around what Jimmy Kennedy grant has sent in. Also, it's a great idea because I just loved it. The name, at least goody bags and this goody bag sits in your hotel or motel, bathroom. So when you finish using, let's say one of the soaps from the shower, you can put it in your goody bag, take it home. You don't have to feel bad anymore. You know how some hotels, you think these are delicious. I'm going to take them home for you. Feel bad. Not with Jimmy's not with health pack. They encourage it. Take it home, no waste. That's where they're hitting. They're also a big proponent and sorts that they're a big proponent and sponsor of forest and bird. They've donated over$35,000 to this organization. Anything that helps preserve and grow the Kiwi and national icon on the big fan off. They use products wherever they can from New Zealand such as the honeysuckle honey or the real honey or tea tree extract, uh, that go inside these bottles that comes from here as well. Uh, if you'd like to win thus as a goodie bag, then let us know the last time you maybe took some products home from a hotel or motel, what trip you were on and a you into when this, I think that's it for this week in terms of products featured. The last thing I want to say in terms of indeed made is we've just turned on on our website a live conversational marketing chat program and that goes directly to my phone and his phone. So if anyone on our website has a question about becoming a Nancy made license holder, they can tap that on their phone or desktop. It rings a little bell as a notification and we can help answer your query about whether you eligible or how much it is directly in that chat. We only turned it on 48 hours ago. We've already joined one company from why Kedo uh, for their range of canvas based products. So it's working. I'll keep you updated. I think for any business owner that wants to really be in real time with potential customers on their website, not just phone, email and text. Then a check program is the way to do it. We're using drift, conversational marketing. Uh, there's a number out there, but that's the one we've gone for. Um, it's easy to install a couple of lines of code with your web agency and you'll be away. That's it for this week. So 10 done and dusted. If there's a particular thing you'd like to see on the show in terms of products or a topic you'd like us to cover, then let us know, let me know, put it in the comments and we can schedule that or get in contact with them. Have you enjoyed this? And we will see you next week.
