Why Buying Kiwi Matters
Every year, billions of dollars leave our economy because New Zealanders mistakenly shop with overseas-owned companies that appear Kiwi through their “.co.nz” websites. Research shows that 98% of us prefer to buy from NZ-owned businesses when price and product are equal - but many don’t realise who owns the sites we’re buying from.
If every Kiwi diverted just $50 per week to Kiwi-owned businesses, we’d keep over $5 billion in the New Zealand economy each year. That money helps create jobs, strengthen communities, and drive innovation here in New Zealand.
By shopping through Buy Kiwi, you can be confident your money stays in Aotearoa. This means it can help our people, not overseas shareholders.
Together, We Are Stronger
We believe that small choices make big differences. Everytime you choose to shop with us, you are helping:
- New Zealand Businesses grow
- Supporting local jobs
- Strengthening our economy
- And so much more!
