Kelly Wilson
WILSON SISTERS
"As a creative professional I often struggle to trust others with the design process, but right from the beginning I was confident Sara and the team at GFM Branding understood my vision. From the moment those initial concepts....
...came through I knew I had chosen well; they totally understood who I was and what I was trying to capture. The finished website exceeds everything I could have dreamed; it is clean, sophisticated, easy to navigate and captures my personality! For one of the first times in my life I was able to feel confident that not only would I love the end result, but that it was going to be better than what I could have designed myself. Even more importantly the process throughout has been fun and low stress; they are exceptionally talented at what they do and have been an absolute joy to work with.”

DIRECTOR, THIRSTY LIQUOR
"We appointed Sara from GFM Web Design as our Marketing Guru back in June of this year. Since then we have seen our Brand receive massive exposure with huge volumes of interaction with Social Media and through our website...
...To give you an example, when Tina and I stepped into our new roles here as Directors of Thirsty Liquor our Facebook had 40 likes, we were sitting at the bottom of all the Liquor Banners. Only 3 months later we now have over 9000 likes and sit at the #1 spot of all liquor banners on Facebook.
Brand Awareness for Thirsty Liquor has sky rocketed with all the new initiatives implemented by GFM.
We value the close relationship we have built with the team at GFM. They often go above and beyond to ensure that we receive the highest level of customer service. They efficiently manage all our online marketing from website design and development to producing and sending our monthly email newsletters through to implementing monthly text message campaigns to our database. GFM also provides Thirsty Liquor with branding and graphic design work when required. We look forward to continuing to grow our business with the help of GFM Web Design”

FOOD HABITS
"Fantastic is the word I would use to describe the level of service and the product quality from Bryan and the team at GFM. When I started my business I had very little idea about websites and social marketing but Bryan...
... was fantastic in guiding me through the process. And their website content management system means I feel confident updating my own website now. From the initial logo designs to the final website he kept me informed along the way. Bryan and Sara did a great job communicating my ideas and concepts to the graphics team exactly, but were also willing to rework things if they didn't quite hit the mark.
GFM produced my website, logo and stationery and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely use them in the future."

BARKER BUSINESS & CHILDCARE SALES NZ
"Sara and the Team at GFM Branding Solutions have been amazing, I have worked with Sara for a few years now on the initial development of the Barker Business Brokerage branding and Web Design through to the new Childcare Sales NZ...
... website and branding. I gave a very short brief on what I wanted and it was pretty much nailed on the first attempt. Sara & the GFM team have a gift for design whilst understanding practicality and functionality also. I have recommended GFM to most customers I have sold a business to, as its hugely important for a business going forward and one of the most cost effective marketing tools (no it is the most) possible. I have no qualms recommending GFM to any prospective customers and wish Sara and the team all the best .”

PURE DAY SPA
"I first met Sara Reid of Go Forward Marketing in 2010 (now known as GFM Web Design) when she was getting the Divine Day Out Wedding Expo, in Kerikeri, off the ground. I was impressed initially by her amazing creativity and...
... the exquisite work she presented, but then found myself having a growing respect for her professionalism and ability to pull everything together under intense pressure. I became one of her greatest fans!
So when it came to starting my own business- it was a complete no-brainer who I should approach to do my design work.
Sara’s brief from me was that I wanted something short and punchy. Something clean looking – no frilly swirls or curls. Something that would work with an “earthy stones and plants” look. I thought I wanted something green coloured.
What Sara delivered completely blew me away and exceeded my expectations. I was presented with not one, but SIX logo designs – and within those six designs were several variations to reflect the two stages of the business. Yes, she had delivered the green I thought I wanted... but then she threw in a curve ball... just goes to show who knows best! I LOVE my pink logo. And I love that she had the balls to go against what I said I wanted, and present me with something that made me go WOW! I have still got my short and punchy look – AND I don’t have to compromise on my interior colour schemes as Sara had done her homework by selected a shade that complimented by earthy tones.
Sara’s attention to detail continues to carry through in the amazing work she has put into my branding.
If you are starting a business, or rebranding an existing one, I totally recommend Sara for the job. She really CARES about your business and making it grow. Getting Sara on board is one business decision you will never regret!"
