Digital TV sales soar with Freeviewshop online success

Waitakere based digital TV retailer Freeviewshop launched its business in 2006 introducing online buying to the New Zealand market with pledges of supplying the best quality and range of digital TV equipment available. The Freeviewshop.co.nz website which offers a unique product range along with detailed installation advice is now an online success with buyers flocking to the site to buy online.

The company founder, Lars Wahlmann emphasises that “the launch of Freeview has meant that more New Zealander's can enjoy the benefits of crystal clear, digital TV. Freeviewshop wants to get the message out there that all New Zealanders can access digital TV and it does not have to cost a fortune”. With the New Zealand DIY attitude in mind, Freeviewshop’s aim is to provide the equipment and help for everyone to install Freeview and start receiving digital TV.

Lars explains that “the demand for new technology is certainly here but you have to make sure you offer quality products at good prices. You also need excellent customer service – our customers are really impressed by our unique products and technical knowledge.”

Freeviewshop has been announced as a finalist in the 2009 Waitakere Business Awards in the Unitec Innovation in Business Award. The Awards celebrate outstanding performance and continued growth with the Unitec Innovation category recognizing organizations that understand the importance of innovation for company growth.
