TOP LEAD GENERATORS INVEST IN MORE WEBSITES TO HELP BOOST SUPPLIERS' BUSINESS

leads2trade, market leaders in generating leads for window and conservatory suppliers in the UK, has announced further developments in the New Year, as it invests in its online presence to generate more leads for suppliers and expands into a new market, to widen the plethora of opportunities available for those in the supply and fit of kitchens.

Announcing this on the back of a recent big contract win leads2trade and its consumer facing websites, Trusted Local Suppliers, are now the official home improvement partner for nhsdiscounts, opening up a further audience of hundreds of thousands of potential leads to the country's tradesmen.

Investing in search engine optimisation, leads2trade is strengthening its ethos of putting the supplier first by driving a higher volume and better quality of traffic to more than 800 of its Trusted Local Suppliers sites.

With the additional generation of unique URLs relevant to each trade in each region, for example www.windows-ipswich.co.uk leads2trade's trusted local suppliers are enjoying having a greater presence on the internet than their competitors through being accessible to the consumer from a variety of different online arenas.

On the back of 4 years successful trading, and becoming one of the UK's largest lead generators within the window and conservatory marketplaces, leads2trade has provided in excess of 500 companies in these industries with over 150,000 qualified sales leads. The service has proved to be so effective the numbers of suppliers on board has increased year on year, with last year resulting in a record number of new companies joining the Trusted Local Supplier brand.

Standing proud with the largest network of suppliers in the UK, providing leads across 220 locations nationwide, leads2trade's success is based on its appointment booking services, which are not offered by other lead generators in the industry.

Qualifying all internet leads generated through its consumer facing sites leads2trade only passes on double qualified sales leads to its members, often ridding 60% of enquiries via the intervention of their in-house call centre which the members would end up paying for from other lead generation suppliers.

leads2trade Director Andy Royle said: "We've been thrilled to have been able to support so many companies in growing their businesses in what has been a very tough year, and look forward to continuing to help many more in 2010."

He added: "The reason we're growing so fast is a combination of 2 things: Our increasing access to consumers via multiple channels providing consistent large numbers of leads to our clients, and the quality of our leads complemented by our new appointment booking service which means companies can now only pay for leads they actually sit and pitch, a service that is not offered by any other internet lead supplier in the home improvement market sector."
