Why Zhem?

Zhem does what no other directory is doing. We combine online with a free to the community printed book.

We know that Online is fast becoming the way to source information (which is why we have an awesome, up to date, interactive site). However, it’s not the only media. On its own it is only doing part of the job. Combine it with a street presence, a hard copy book delivered direct to potential clients, newsletters, an extensive marketing campaign etc.., you have the formula for excellent business exposure. 

Online Directory

Zhem is up there with the best online directories worldwide. We have reviews, ratings, recommendations, map directions, web links, images etc. We offer an avenue to not only list your business but promote it with articles, promotions, events etc. Get on our fortnightly newsletter with an advertisement, special offer, or article and be seen by even more people. The site is not just a directory but also a place to read eco news, interesting articles, a Zhem Forum where everyone is welcome to discuss and express their views on issues facing us globally, and personally. If its healthy, good for the planet, and a positive direction, we’re all for it.
