Enhance Credibility - Enjoy Cost Savings - Increase Your Marketing and Sales Initiatives

Being a member of FairTrades is a great boost to your businesses reputation and credibility. Membership inspires confidence in your business and is a clear indication to the public that your business operates under a strict code of standards set out by the FairTrades Association.

The 'code of practice' is not only used in publicity, infomercials and our web site, but we also promote these standards of conduct directly to the public during tradeshows as it helps instill confidence when our members are chosen. This translates into our customers winning more business. It also safeguards the very reputation you have spent many years building.

Our members display the FairTrades logo on their web sites, on their vans and on any client business forms, quotes, invoices etc. Once again this is used as great way to build credibility, shows your professionalism and wins you new business. Tradesmen rely heavily on their reputation. For this reason it is critical that tradesmen request feedback, testimonials and referrals every time they do work for a customer. This brings them closer to the home owner, helps them improve on delivery weakness and enhances their credibility with the general public. Everyone wants to employ a tradesman who did a great job for previous customers! See the benefits below....
