The benefits of Checkatrade membership
"The service is excellent. People ring up and say that they feel reassured there is a body vetting trades."
Credibility – your Checkatrade membership gets you instant recognition and trust. You can show any prospective customer immediately that you have been vetted, work to a high standard, and are prepared to be monitored.
More Customers – increased enquiries; more profitable work; more revenue for your business.
Status – membership of a service fast becoming the standard for business in the UK. You will be recognised as honest, reliable, and known for quality work.
Efficiency – our members have found that with higher trust and a recognised standard, customers are less likely to waste their time. Businesses experience a higher conversion rate of enquiries to valuable work.
Dynamic advertising – we promote members with a web site listing, a recommendation over our free Trade Appraisal Line, and in our printed guides. We distribute millions of area-specific guides each year. Checkatrade is advertised on local radio stations, bus adverts, in poster campaigns, supermarkets, sticker campaigns and by every job done by a Checkatrade member.
Membership pack – we give you customer feedback cards, personalised estimate certificates, stickers for your vehicle window or external body, personalised directory stickers to leave with your customers, stickers to put on your existing stationery and a branded folder to keep them all in. The whole package tells the customer that you are prepared to be accountable for the work that you do and that you work to a high standard.
Clear expectations – our Checkatrade Standard reminds you what the consumer expects from a top quality business, and gives your customers peace of mind about the service you will deliver.
Proof for your reputation – anyone can phone the Trade Appraisal Line or search the web site and discover directly the standard to which you work.
Honest feedback – members get to see genuine feedback about their work from customers. This helps you to improve your service and congratulates you when you do it well.
Bonus offers – we have teamed up with other businesses to offer our members exclusive discounts. Our members can get up to 27% off new Renault cars and 39% off commercial Renault vehicles (percentages subject to change over time). They can also get 25% off AA membership at enrolment, and 10% off renewal for each year that this deal continues.
