Dunedin Market Notes

Who your customers are

Dunedin's customers include the University of Otago, healthcare providers, tourism and technology firms. Dunedin is home to the University of Otago. Its Scottish heritage shows in its architecture. The Otago Peninsula's albatross colony and penguins attract wildlife tourists.

How they choose and contact a business

Dunedin customers value friendly communication.

When demand peaks

Student arrivals and Otago Peninsula tourism are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches name the Octagon, North Dunedin and St Clair. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in New Zealand

New Zealanders are heavy mobile users, and SMS remains the reliable channel for bookings, reminders and delivery updates, while Messenger and WhatsApp are widely used for chat. Businesses commonly send from short codes or alphanumeric sender IDs, and messages must carry a working unsubscribe option under the country's anti-spam rules.

EFTPOS and contactless cards dominate in-store payments, and prices are normally displayed including 15% GST. Key commercial dates include Black Friday, Boxing Day, Matariki (a public holiday since 2022 in June or July) and the summer holiday period from Christmas to late January, when many businesses slow down. Using correct Māori place names and macrons is seen as a sign of respect and local knowledge.

New Zealand's economy relies on dairy, meat, wine and kiwifruit exports, tourism and film production. GST is 15%. The Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 requires consent for commercial SMS and email, and the Department of Internal Affairs enforces it. Te reo Māori is an official language, and Māori phrases are common in marketing.
