DIY Doctor has just launched their new lead generation Affiliate Scheme aiming to unite consumers and businesses against cowboy builders and tradespeople.

The Affiliate Scheme is available to any company who has a website used by homeowners or tradespeople in the DIY, home improvement or construction industry. It costs nothing to join the scheme.

You simply host an enquiry form on your site which any customer who has a home or garden project they would like quotes for, can fill in. They will then receive up to 5 free quotes from insured and vetted tradespeople in their local area, who have paid for that lead. Once the lead has been verified, your company earns a percentage of the sale of that lead.

You also have the opportunity to host a form on your website for tradespeople to signup to join the database. Your company can then earn money from every lead that tradesmen purchase. 

The DIY Doctor Affiliate Scheme:

  • reduces the tradesperson’s advertising costs as they receive as many relevant, appropriate leads as they want per week just by registering for free.
     
  • offers homeowners a no obligation way of receiving quotes for work from competent, reliable, vetted and insured tradespeople in their local area.
     
  • Earns your company money.

So everyone’s a winner. Apart from the cowboys!

A great home and property maintenance group in Chiswick advise the following:

Q. My light bulbs keep blowing. Is there a problem with my electrics?

A. First you must ask yourself how long the lights are on for. An average incandescent (old-fashioned) bulb, will last for on average 1000 hours. A halogen lasts 2000 hours and a long life bulb, 5000 hours. Once you add up the hours of use you will probably find you are withering the range. If bulbs are blowing much sooner than their average life span, you may want an electrician to check the circuits.
