Summer in New Zealand: Ultimate Packing List & Pro Tips | NZ Pocket Guide

[@GlenAndMado]

Hello guys hope your well! thanks for the awesome videos. One thing I would suggest to increase your growth on your channel is to do a complete change of your thumbnails as this is this biggest factor to get people watching your videos. Trust me it will make a big difference.

Thanks for the tips! We try a lot of different things, what do you think we are missing?

You need to feel emotions in a picture. Would always suggest having a face on the photo too as I find this is a big factor too. sort of what were currently doing on our channel. @@NZPocketGuide

@@GlenAndMado understood. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if I can make time to redesign this, however since we are really factual I don't really have an idea what it would look like... I may have to sleep on it haha

Hey Pocket Guide gurus...enjoying your channel and helpful information for traveling around NZ. For your channel, can you improve the volume level of the sound while you're talking...the ads and such are much "louder" than your voices on the videos. (hopefully that makes sense) Think this will help people who like to watch and not be knocked over by the ad's volume when they suddenly come on. Kia ora!

Kia ora! Thanks so much for enjoying our channel and finding the information helpful for your NZ travels. We really appreciate your feedback about the volume levels in our videos. It totally makes sense - balancing the sound between our content and the ads is super important for a pleasant viewing experience.

Thank you to both of you for all of your wonderful information. It has been a big help. My husband and I leave Canada for NZ on January 19th for three weeks. I’m assuming this is going to be a silly question, every video I watch suggests bringing Sunscreen and bug spray but we were thinking of acquiring those things when we get there to save weight in our luggage. How easy or hard is it to acquire these items there?

[@NZPocketGuide]

You're very welcome Jolan! Your upcoming trip to New Zealand sounds fantastic. Not a silly question at all! In New Zealand, you can easily find sunscreen and bug spray in local stores, supermarkets, and pharmacies. Major cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch will have a variety of brands and options for you to choose from. However, if you have specific preferences or brands you prefer, it might be a good idea to bring a small supply to ensure you have exactly what you need. If you're considering joining our Patreon community, we can provide more personalized advice for your trip and even help you plan through weekly group calls. Safe travels, and enjoy your time in New Zealand! 🌞🦟 Link -> www.patreon.com/nzpocketguide
