The Facelift

Notice something different? A lot has changed – both our blog and website have undergone change. We’ve listened to you and have gone back to the drawing board to come up with a whole new look for the website! We’ve created a new colour scheme to make the pages pop. The new and improved TradieFinder is looking and acting better. Some noticeable changes include; incorporating a Quick Search function so customers can find businesses faster and more accurately and re-categorising the industries in which businesses are listed – we have also added a tab where customers can find the service they need according to the stages of renovation. Pretty cool, huh? Another huge change is the business advertisements – we’ve made a few changes to make the ads look even better. Within each ad, we’ve added a section for customers to write some details about the job so businesses can know more about the work before they quote. It’s just another way TradieFinder is constantly improving to and stand out from the rest!

A Year in Review

2010 has certainly been a year of growth and achievement at TradieFinder. As we look back in amazement that another year has flown past us, we reflect and review the passing year and make new resolutions for the upcoming one.

This year has been monumental for us – we have launched TradieFinder into the online stratosphere! We’ve seen hundreds of businesses sign up for the unique TradieFinder service. We’re thrilled that our first customers used the service and have been more than pleased. The TradieFinder team have been developing further features. We’ve upgraded and improved areas of the website to make it more user-friendly. TradieFinder has seen some growth in staff numbers with the introduction of a Business Relations position, the expansion of our tech team and we now have new designers and developers on board. And, of course 2010 has seen the beginning of our popular newsletter. Watch out though, our Plans for 2011 are even bigger than that of 2010!

What to expect in 2011 – TradieFinder is currently under construction (behind the scenes) and will be launching its facelift. The new and improved website is going to look very fresh and will be much easier for businesses and customers to navigate. In 2011 you will also see TradieSpace undergo change with added features and networking opportunities. TradieFinder has had a wonderful, busy and exciting 2010 and is looking forward to unfolding the hard work 2011 will bring.

Save Time. Save Money.

We all know that time is money – especially in our industry! TradieFinder has a few tips for you to save on both. Firstly, it pays to ensure you always have sufficient stock levels in your vehicle of tools and consumables used on a daily basis. There is nothing more frustrating or time consuming than having to drive back to a shop to get something that you need to finish a job. Having an organised vehicle and planning your jobs is vital to making sure you’re not wasting unnecessary time travelling to get supplies.

There are many specialised products that can really save you time. For example, there are several products for painters to use such as roller spinners/roller squeegees that remove a majority of the paint from the roller before even starting to wash it out. Brush cleaners/combs will also save time and make sure that the equipment will last longer than just one job.

It may even pay to sometimes select application tools that meet your quality standards, but can easily be disposed of at the end of the job. Perhaps that is worth more to you than the time required to clean out tools at the end of the day.
