“Fresh strategic thinking to our business”
“We began using Kathryn’s services back in 2013, to help us out with a wide range of activities relating to both sales and marketing. With being a reasonably large business, with training centres spread across 3 main cities, and sales teams within each city, we engaged Kathryn to provide some fresh strategic thinking to our business. Our internal marketing team is limited regarding time and resources, and we appreciated the option of having access to further strategic marketing expertise to support our overall approach.
Kathryn came on board and immediately did a full review of all our sales and marketing materials. This identified some further opportunities, along with some gaps in our approach. We then engaged her to do a full strategic marketing plan, followed up with a 12-Month Marketing Plan. Throughout the planning process, which was very much a collaborative effort, we had a high level of engagement and input. She even delved into assessing our sales funnel, looking at lead generation and lead conversion tactics, and provided further insights on how to improve our total sales.
We appreciated her insight and recommendations, and where possible we implemented a number of the key findings. She also did a lot of work on our website, improving our search engine optimisation and search rankings. This made a significant difference to our website performance, as this is one of our main tools for generating sales online. Thank you Kathryn for your help throughout this process, and subsequently. We have no trouble recommending Kathryn to other businesses wanting some strategic input, guidance, right through to implementing website improvements and other marketing tactics.”
“Providing a wide range of marketing support to my business”
“Kathryn has been providing a wide range of marketing support to my business since 2013. She initially helped with developing my website, e.g. writing all the text website and implementing search engine optimisation. Since then, she has undertaken a large amount of online marketing activities and has looked after all my online listings. And with running my backpackers accommodation there is a lot of these. She has taken a proactive role in effectively positioning my business online and keeping my online presence up to date across all the various listing sites and directories. She also helped me with a number of other marketing activities, including stationery items, signage, and some targeted promotional flyers. She has great attention to detail and is proactive with many aspects relating to the marketing of my business. I have greatly appreciated Kathryn’s input and support and would happily recommend her. As the business owner, my focus is on maintaining excellent occupancy rates, and I feel all the marketing done to date has significantly helped with this.”
“Copywriting was great ..SEO that has worked well”
“I have been working with Aztera Marketing for several years now and we have recently worked together to overhaul my current site during a rebuild. I obtained invaluable advice from them and found them to be very approachable. Aztera was very focussed on meeting deadlines and keeping me in the communication loop. The copywriting was great and I felt particularly pleased that I didn’t have to provide every single word (or anywhere near that for that matter). They were great at doing their own research and not bothering me overly which I appreciated. My SEO has worked well also. I don’t know much about this, but they obviously do! Thanks heaps.”
“A marked increase in interest in my website within weeks of going live.”
“Kathryn has been great, with completely managing the upgrade of my website. Right from the initial analysis, Kathryn quickly identified how search engines were not able to clearly see my website and immediately remedied this. A great deal of care was taken to ensure that the correct information and marketing strategies were implemented. I have been thrilled with the result, with a marked increase in interest in my website within weeks of going live.”
“… got to grips with our business and translated this into clear and engaging copy.”
“Thanks Kathryn (Aztera Marketing) and Nicola (Love2Web) for the great job you did on upgrading our website. Kathryn developed the web content, advised on layout and implemented search engine optimisation. She really got to grips with our business and translated this into clear and engaging copy. We were impressed with her enthusiasm, energy and thoroughness. She consulted us at every step and made sure our feedback was incorporated into the final result. Kathryn kept herself (and us!) to a strict deadline. Throughout the process her focus was on how best to communicate with our clients/potential clients and drive sales. There has been an increase in visitors to our site, and we continue to receive many compliments. One person said it was the first time she had really understood what we were about! We would certainly recommend Kathryn’s services to other businesses.”
“…end result is a website that we are proud of and which clearly tells the user who we are and what we do”
“As a new business setting up we needed to create a presence on the internet to market our services and which would project the professional consultant services which we provide. Kathryn led us through the development of the website taking the time to understand who we were and what we did. Kathryn took the web copy and ensured that it was optimised for search engines. The end result is a website that we are proud of and which clearly tells the user who we are and what we do.”

I have also noticed a significant improvement with our total sales, both online and through our showroom. Over the 6-year period I have continued to grow my business, and her support and marketing expertise throughout all of this has been appreciated.

“…assisted me in finding my focus and niche market.”
“By asking me the right questions about my business and my goals, Kathryn challenged my assumptions and assisted me in finding my focus and niche market. She was supportive and encouraging but at the same time she was open and honest about the ‘hard stuff.’ I found Kathryn’s straightforward approach refreshing and energizing and she has given me the confidence to go forward.”
“advised me where to best spend my marketing money”
“Kathryn changed my mind about marketing people: she is genuine, practical, doesn’t talk marketing waffle, and really goes the extra mile. Kathryn advised me, in her eminently diplomatic way, where to best spend my marketing money, and gave me advice on my new (second) website and its copy – including writing a little of it (clarity is one of her strong points). As a bonus, Kathryn talked me through this whole process and made it feel a whole lot less overwhelming. By the end of it, I didn’t feel like a frazzled wreck like I did with my first one.”
“She understands the need of combining strong marketing messages along with developing web copy in a way for getting good rankings on Google.”
“Kathryn has great marketing knowledge and skills, and is an excellent communicator. Her understanding of Google and search engine optimisation is really appreciated. She understands the need of combining strong marketing messages along with developing web copy in a way for getting good rankings on Google. I have worked with Kathryn now for more than 5 years on a number of different websites. Working with Kathryn is a breeze, she asks all the right questions to get the job done right and follows up on the marketing results. She is also a great sounding board, willing to share her knowledge and give advice when needed; and she keeps up to date with the latest Google tricks of the trade – not an easy task! It’s always a pleasure working with someone who really wants to do an outstanding job every time no matter how small the project – and she always does. Thanks Kathryn.”
