As I explained, 118trades.com has been set up with a purpose to recommend reputable companies and trades people for work in London & the Home Counties. We will be recommending you in 3 ways: On our online based Directory (which is receiving just under over 1.2 million hits per week)
VIA our FREEPHONE 24/7 telephone service
In our hard-backed manual ‘Directory of Trusted Trades People’ (please see attachment) We will raise your company profile as 1 of 4 reputable companies in your category and put you in front of your target market instead of them trying to find you amongst the hundreds in your trade. You have confirmed that you are interested in areas in HAMPSHIRE ; therefore, I am happy to confirm we can advertise your company in the following way:

ADVERTISING TERM: 18 MONTHS (until 31st December 2006)

I hope you have found this useful
Kind Regards,Here is another outfit plying to extend your advertising budget, cold calling to add your company on their website. Their “4 Trades you can trust -No Cowboys” policy is a cracker ❗
The rub is it costs you just £500 (payable over 3 monthly instalments) and for that they stick your name (exclusively only 3 other competitors will be listed alongside your advert 😆 )
And if you are not entirely satisfied with the response they guarantee, you can have your money back. (thoughts of pigs flying comes to mind here 🙄 )
Stand by your phone as you will get a call any day now………. :phone:

I’ve got a scrap of paper, next to the phone, with that scribbled on it.
I’m ready! 😀
Or I think Penguin said something about sex and travel.

Kind Regards,At that price you would think they could afford to have someone proof read their spiel before they make if public. DOPMESTIC Indeed!!
I bet they never had an introductory conversation with you either.
We get the odd call asking the name of the proprietor, or director. Few days later, cheery phone call, “Can I speak to Alex Please? I was talking to him the other day…..” When one likes this does break through and hits my office, they go away when I quote the Telephone preference service, advise they are committing an offence and ask their names as well as the team leader.
Most local web pages will charge you about £30 to £90 p.a. for a link. Just hit the one below. Comes from the local town site, well known and advertised on local radio. £30 per year. These guys are jumping on the bandwagon.
