What do I get?
"I have nothing but praise for Checkatrade!"
Level One membership includes a full listing that the public can find through
our web site and Trade Appraisal Line. Members receive unlimited Reputation Report
cards to give to customers, and a generous marketing pack of stickers and certificates,
and automated monitoring reports by email. The online Members Area allows them to
personalise their web page and print off Reports to impress prospective customers.
Level Two membership, in addition to the above, includes wider exposure through an entry in our printed directories - in total 5.4 million are distributed each year.
Members will not be given full ‘recommended, vetted and monitored’ (RVM) status
with Checkatrade until we have received at least five feedback cards from their
customers. It is made clear to the consumer that members lacking this status have
just joined.

What you get
Reputation report cards (customer feedback)
To be given to your customer at the start of any and all jobs. These prepaid, addressed
and ready-to-return customer comment cards are designed to build your reputation
and help you win quotes.
Automated reports on customer feedback cards
You will automatically via email and SMS text be informed of new feedback received
from your customers.
This 0800 freephone number allows potential customers to call Checkatrade (and to speak to a real person) for an up to date appraisal on a member before they decide to use them, giving maximum customer confidence.
Web site search inclusion
Not only will your potential customer be able to find you by name but you will also
benefit from being able to be found via a general search by potential customers.
For example:
Windows/Doors/Conservatories in Hampshire
Your own web site (profile page) within the Checkatrade web site, for example
www.checkatrade.com/BobTheBuilder.
Here you can customise your profile page by uploading your logo, team photos text
and pictures of work completed. Keep in touch with customers, statistics, news and
offers, and have your say in the Member Area forums.
Easily printed from the Members Area of our web site, these professional reports
collate your profile information, credentials and customer feedback into a document
you can hand to potential customers.
These can be attached to estimates, letterheads, business cards and other stationery.
They offer your customer an opportunity to call Checkatrade for an up to date appraisal
of how trustworthy you are. Colour, glossy, 30 x 25mm.
With 'Checkatrade' on your vehicle the public can see that you have been vetted and are being monitored.
Designed in three sizes for all colours of vehicles.

Printed directory inclusion
Level 2 members get entry into our locally distributed, full-colour directories.
Each directory is delivered by Royal Mail to communities of 50,000 homes twice a year.
These directories are published when we have enough trades and services in a particular
area to warrant publication. Those interested in being in our directory can take
level 1 membership initially. When enough interest has been registered in that area
for a directory to be printed they will be contacted.
If you are interested in advertising in a new area or would like to check current
availability please call us on
0800 458 1234.
