Sending Quality Customers To Dealers
Full dealer listing for just 26p per day

 

Garden Trader is designed to specifically identify and catch customers when they are researching a product online and helping them locate their local dealer.  We know this because we invest several thousand pounds every month to reach them through highly targeted keyword and PPC activity.  It is important that customers understand the true value of product knowledge and customer service provided by our amazing dealer network.  Garden Trader is delivering on average 550 potential customers every year to individual dealer's pages.  Because of the site promotional criteria, we know the majority are actively looking to make a purchase (product or 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. At 26p per day, we don't believe any other form of highly targeted digital promotion can get anywhere close to this value.  Better still, it was designed to promote 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 it is easy and takes just a few minutes.
