Vitalise offers three levels of advertising

1.  Permanently Free listings.
These include photo, your contact details, and a description of what you do or supply to the community.
Also has a link to your website or Facebook page.
Everyone in Thames, Paeroa, Waihi, Ngatea, Hauraki and Coromandel qualifies for one of these listings.

2. Full web pages.
These have all the details of a free listing, along with much more detail of what you do or supply to the community, more photos, 
an email contact form to allow potential customers to contact you directly and references from existing customers.
There is a once-only set up charge (typically just $200) and a weekly charge of $5.
It is effectively your own website, and you can use business cards and other advertising to send people there
from further field while we promote you in the Thames, Paeroa, Waihi, Ngatea, Hauraki and Coromandel districts.
If your business or group holds events, these are listed free on Vitalise

3. Self-drive websites
These allow you to manage your own advertising, and instantly update details as required.
Our self-drive sites have their own URL, so you can promote them in any area outside the area we cover
while we send traffic there from the
Vitalise website where your site is hosted.
We do the hosting ourselves, and this is included in pricing.

A stand alone website is a lot like putting
your advertising in a paddock,
and hoping that someone drives by.
It involves hosting fees, and can cost
a lot of money to make any changes.

Advertising in the Vitalise paddock means that
we can promote you with news items, promotional deals
and monthly emails to all Vitalise members.
$5 per week includes hosting.

The advantages of Vitalise over other advertising media

Everyone gets the choice of free or very low-cost advertising
Listings are free for individuals, businesses, sports clubs, social groups and services.
This means that everyone gets to tell the community about what they do and what they can offer – it’s not restricted to those with an advertising budget
Low cost advertising is available in the form of complete web pages for $5 per week including hosting.
Whichever advertising you choose, we will do our best to promote you to the Thames, Paeroa, Waihi, Ngatea, Hauraki and Coromandel community.

it’s 24/7.
Unlike other forms of advertising (radio 30 seconds, newspaper a few days), Vitalise is available to its audience 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Information stays where we put it on the site so it can always be located – not like putting a notice on a community social media site, where it will quickly be replaced by pictures of cats and dogs.
We use those sites too, but
 Vitalise has one specific mission – to do the best possible job of representing everything in our community, and inform each and every member of this community about everything they need to know to get the best out of what we have in the area.
This means that someone looking for a special bargain, a coffee, a sports club or help with their health can search for it at 4pm or 2am – it’s there for them at all times.

it will help keep local money in our local communities.
We have a huge range of great businesses and services in the area we cover, and they deserve our support.
Vitalise will allow more people to see exactly what is on offer in our community, and help our businesses thrive.
This includes visitors to our towns, who need to find what is available and where it is.

it has people waiting to hear about your offers to the community
Vitalise has a rapidly expanding list of locals who have signed up as members to win prize draws and hear about the offers that businesses and groups make to the local community.
A monthly email to these members will include all Special Deals made by local businesses and groups.
A quick and easy way to get your message to people who want to hear it.

it has free stuff
It has a section where we can offer free goods or services to fellow members of the community.
whether this is a bag of lemons or a retired person wishing to use their skills to help another person or group.
Listings for garage sales are welcome.

it has a jobs section
This will help businesses needing staff locate the right people, and help job seekers find a position.

it’s new, and available for use right now.
The more listings we all put on the website, the better our community will be represented and the more useful the site will be.

it’s independently funded
Vitalise is built and sponsored by local business Photo Factory, so it’s not burning any ratepayer cash,
and there is no subscription payable to use the website.

resulting in the highest quality clean for you.

Like cleaning carpets, our process of cleaning

how we can clean your leather upholstery 

and our ‘Fabric Protection’.

Contrast Carpet Cleaning uses
brilliant products
and years of experience
to deliver a fantastic result
every clean.

"I recently enlisted the help of Matthew White of Contrast Carpet Cleaning and am delighted with the result.
The carpets had been laid about 20 years ago, and subjected to traffic by pets and grandkids but came up like new.
In addition I asked him to clean a well-upholstered lounge suite and it is now back
in the same 'show room' condition as when purchased 25 years ago.
I can confidently recommend his efficient and thorough work."
- Len Abercrombie, Te Puru

"Matthew recently cleaned the upholstery on my lounge suite
that hadn't been cleaned since it was purchased many years ago.
He did a wonderful job and exceeded my expectations.
The cleaning was done during Level 3 and Matthew wore a mask and gloves and maintained social distancing.
He was very professional, efficient and knowledgeable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services".
- Caral Othman

"Matthew arrived promptly and got straight to work.
He was very knowledgeable and managed to completely remove a difficult stain that we'd tried to shift several ways already.
The price was more than fair, our carpets look like new, we can't recommend this service highly enough"
- Jacqui Barrow

Our websites

Photo Factory makes websites for
all types of businesses, and in all price ranges.
A simple stand-alone website can be yours from $200.
But if your business or organisation needs promotion
in the Thames area, we have the best deal ever.

The Vitalise website specialises in promoting
everything that makes up our community.
We can promote your business or organisation
within the Vitalise website,
where everyone goes to find details of events,
special deals and a lot more.
You can use your Vitalise web page externally (as a normal website)
while we concentrate on sending visitors to you
through the community website.

A stand alone website is a lot like putting
your advertising in a paddock,
and hoping that someone drives by.
It involves hosting fees, and can cost
a lot of money to make any changes.

Advertising in the Vitalise paddock means that we can promote you with
news items, promotional deals, and monthly
emails to all Vitalise members.
$5 per week includes hosting.

For a full webpage like the one you see above,
call in to see us at 507 Pollen Street
and we will build you some advertising you
can be proud of for just $5 per week.
