We are Launching!

Posted by sizexadmin in Untagged

Just a quick blog message to share the extremely exciting news!

We are only 24hrs away from launch! YAY!

I have been working on this concept for the last 3 years and for me this has been an journey full of hills and valleys (great for the weight-loss!) With Sandi coming on board at the beginning of the year I am ecstatic to announce that it is nearly ready and we have finally done it! The vision that I had 3 years ago is about to become a reality.

For everyone that has stuck with me, and believed in me, that I could make this vision a reality, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your belief and encouragement has kept me motivated and made the next 24 hrs possible. Stay tuned. The revolution is about to begin!

Happy Xchanging

Time to Explore Marketing!

Posted by sizexadmin in Untagged

As you will all probably know...marketing is one of the key elements to getting a business. With that in mind Sandi and I have been preoccupied lately with how we are presenting ourselves and explaining what our service is going to be in lay-mans terms.

It is a very exciting process but nerve wracking too. Foremost in our minds is... are we targeting this to our target market appropriately and reaching the people who would benefit from the service that we want to provide? I heard on the news a couple of days ago that 1 in 3 people in New Zealand are overweight and 1 in 4 people are obese...thats 2/3rds of the New Zealand population. These figures are similar the world over. Those are who we should be targeting, but the trick is where to market and advertise to get us there.

If you have suggestions as to key places: forums, websites, magazines etc that would benefit from what we are providing then please leave a comment and let us know. We would love your input.

Below is a postcard that we have designed to start creating a buzz and promoting awareness as to what we are doing. You can DOWNLOAD the pdf version by using This Link please feel free to email the postcard to friends, associates, businesses, or websites that you feel could benefit. We also have a 468x60 banner that could be put on your own blog sites/websites.
