Recently, one of our members had this to say about their membership: 
"We at Johnson Brothers based in Hook, Hampshire have been members with HomePro/FairTrades since 2012. We really enjoy the benefits that our memberships brings; for example with each quote we can offer our customers an Insurance Backed Guarantee.
We also have TrustMark accreditation through our FairTrades membership and this gives our customers reassurance as our work has been inspected by the BBA. This sets us apart from our competitors. We also have a business web page which helps promote our company online. Here members of the public can view our references. Great support from the HomePro team and our Account Manager."

TrustMark is the only government endorsed scheme of vetted and accredited tradesmen for home improvement - homeowners know that, making them more likely to choose you.
More trust = more work
So how can you – quickly and easily – get customers to trust you?

And once you are a TrustMark member, you will be entitled to use the trusted TrustMark logo not only on your vehicles but also on your letterhead, business cards, website, etc.
You don't just get to use the logo either. You also get a Membership Certificate, Letters Of Introduction, Vehicle Stickers and Point-Of-Sale Leaflets – all included in your FairTrades and TrustMark Membership.
TrustMark has around 750 000 contractor details displayed each month - your dedicated FairTrades Account Manager can show you how to maximise your quotes through TrustMark.

2. Why TrustMark Through FairTrades
The first member joined FairTrades in 1983, which makes us one of the longest established Trade Associations in the industry.
So, what does that mean for you?
What do 86% of your prospects – and I bet you do the same – do when thinking about buying anything?
They look at reviews.
Research by Neilsen Research shows; 70% of people trust the reviews they read.
And the UK’s largest graduate jobs website – WikiJob.co.uk – found that using reviews:
Boosts bottom line sales by 34%
When you join FairTrades, we create your own profile page - all about you - on our website. When customers review your work - it's automatically added to your page.
And with more reviews, it's more likely Google will show your company when a homeowner is searching in your area.
Not only does your profile page have your customer reviews, it is customisable. You can add your company information, your logo, images and videos of your work and your customers can download a company report, which means they won't forget you when they go offline.
Add images to your FairTrades page and get up to 271% more clicks from likely customers.
One of our members gets clicks - online traffic - from homeowners which would cost £19,000 a year using Google Adwords. These clicks don't cost you a penny.
