Marketing support for trades people

Marketing help for people in the trades

Most people have friends and family in the trades – including us. We understand the stresses and challenges of working as a tradesperson. Tradespeople work hard to learn a skill and build up a trade, often work long hours and sometimes are out in all weathers – and on top of that, they have to find time, energy and money for their marketing to keep their business going and growing! Not to mention tax returns, supply chain management, invoicing and answering customer questions!

Knowing the challenges of managing a trade and seeing how much our help is valued, we’ve created a marketing support service specifically for tradespeople.

Do you need

• More people to get in touch with you?
• Different types of work to the work you’re attracting?
• To save money on advertising that you’ve signed up to?
• More customer reviews to help build trust in your services?
• A more professional look so you stand up against the competition?

We will look at what you’re currently doing and give you advice that matches what you’re trying to achieve. No-nonsense, practical advice and help. You’d be amazed how many people spend money on marketing that doesn’t actually help them do what they need to do – we can help you get more focused.

When you work with us, we’ll give you

• A one-off marketing health-check report
• A sanity check of the things you should worry about and spend money on (or not) based on what you need to achieve with your business
• Tips, personalised to you and your business on how to improve your existing marketing
• Shortcuts and tips for your future marketing
• Easy ways to look more professional and build a positive reputation
• Tips on how to generate more leads and customers
• Time with an expert to talk about the above, pick their brains and generally give you a boost

Want to get in touch quickly?

Send us a WhatsApp message or voice-note outlining how we can help and we’ll get right back to you.

“I initially needed a logo, some branding, a website and a few other bits but now get support each month so I don’t have to worry about my marketing. I know I need to do marketing but I just don’t have time to do it myself. I get given ideas then they help my by doing the things we agree each month. It’s ideal really as I wouldn’t think of the stuff they suggest and don’t have time do to do any of it anyway. “ read more

Your personalised report

Before we meet with you, we’ll send you a short survey to complete. We then take your survey answers and do some of our own research to create a customised sales and marketing improvement plan – just for you.

We combine our marketing experience with the experience we’ve gained by helping other tradespeople.

Your report will include

• Easy ways to improve what you’re already doing – tips, guidance or suggesting free tools to save you time
• Advice on anything you’re doing that you could stop doing – saving you time but not having a negative impact on your marketing (you’d be surprised how often this comes up)
• Ways you can bring in new leads
• Ways you can look more professional and improve your reputation

Direction, tips and time with an expert

The direction and tips we give you will include discussing things in your personalised report as well as things that come up naturally in conversation with you.

We’ll go through your report with you, which covers improvements and new ideas as listed above, but you’ll also get time to just pick the brains of a marketing expert. We may have triggered thoughts and questions when we sent you the short survey or there may be things in the report you want more support and direction on. The time we spend with you is all about you and your business and no two consultations are ever the same. We don’t expect you to know all there is to know about marketing, just like we don’t know everything there is to know about your trade – so ask any questions, big or small.

Time with an expert can make you feel more confident about what you are doing, as well as what you choose not to do. There are so many options of how you can market yourself so having clear direction can take a load of stress away from you.

Pricing and your time

A small investment of £295 and a few hours of your time is all you need to invest to really boost your marketing. We feel confident that you’ll either save this time and money in binning off activities that don’t really help you, or by getting your marketing to work harder for you.

Outgoing support

If your improvement plan gives you enough confidence you can really invest and grow your business then why not consider some ongoing support?

We help you build your business by getting the word out there, helping you retain customers and build your company reputation – you get access to experts and save yourself time.

When you work with us in a partnership, you get

• Someone to inform and manage a marketing plan that aligns with your business goals and challenges
• A monthly catch up that helps keep you focused on your marketing direction, but without the daily stress
• A set number of hours per month where you’ll be supported by a range of skilled marketing professionals who can help with print and web material
• Access to coaching and training in marketing best practice
• Ideas – lots of ideas
• Opportunities that wouldn’t come your way in your day job – we’ll always be thinking about your cause
• Peace of mind
