JOIN THE NATION'S BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE NETWORK
Challenging Zero Value Online Retailers in 2019

 

It is important that the public understand the true value of product knowledge and customer service provided by our amazing dealer network.  That is why we have been introducing video clips of real dealers in the UK to humanise decision making online and physically direct customers to dealers.  Thanks to all of you who have helped us with filming and we will be adding more soon.  We would also like to thank those who re-subscribed for 2019 and indeed those new dealers who have joined the online success of Garden Trader.  By doing so, you have joined a truly national network of skilled independent dealers offering excellent customer service. All subscribed dealers can easily check their listing's analytics just by logging in to see for themselves just how Garden Trader is helping their business. In the launch phase Garden Trader delivered on average 550 users who were actively looking to make a purchase (product or service)  to individual dealer's pages. At £1.84 per week, we don't believe any other form of highly targeted digital promotion can get anywhere close to this value.  Better still, it is promoting our highly skilled dealer network in the UK and helping fight discount based zero value online retailers and DIY stores. If you do wish to re-subscribe or indeed register you are still well in time to catch the season.
