Innovative new website myTradesDirect.com to benefit trades professionals, suppliers and homeowners

Vancouver, B.C. 20th August, 2010: The new and interactive website myTradesDirect.com launched late last year to help hard-hit, local BC businesses. Since then, they’ve been connecting local contractors and suppliers with consumers and homeowners for all their home improvement needs.

The website acts as a sales and marketing tool for trades professionals and suppliers in BC, and during a time of economic downturn, myTradesDirect.com has been a key on-line resource for the province's new business start-ups, as well as industry leaders. It connects both residential and commercial consumers to trades professionals, suppliers, and related businesses in a simple and skilful manner. The result is the empowerment of homeowners. It gives them the ability to make more informed, confident decisions, when choosing a company to do business with.

With the amount of information and services myTradesDirect has available, the dashboard feature, or personal organization interface, is a great feature to manage it all. It allows members to neatly collect and categorize key contacts and other important information found throughout the website – the days of searching for that illusive business card of your favourite contractor are over.

“Everyone from homeowners to trade contractors, and commercial developers to industry suppliers will benefit from this website,” says Paul Tindle, co-founder of myTradesDirect.com. “Trades professionals who are looking for cost-effective, yet powerful ways to market their business can utilize this very economical and targeted sales networking tool.”

Homeowners can quickly seek out companies by reviewing profiles, photo galleries, and customer comments. These tools, along with the ‘articles and video’ section, can all be found on the website. There is also a ‘discounts’ area that allows businesses to advertise special offers and promotions. Consumers (both residential and commercial) can post renovation, improvement, or repair projects free of charge. Once the project is posted Trades professionals are instantly notified and can then send their replies. Consumers will be able to then make their decisions based on factors that best fit their specific needs.

Google is beginning to see myTradesDirect.com on the first page of their searches in Canada increasingly often, and by listing company information, trades professionals can gain online exposure that showcases their specialized services. Companies can upload photos and/or videos, and the content can be modified continually to keep listings current and original.

The site is 100% free for both residential and commercial consumers. Trades contractors and suppliers can sign up for a “Business Smart-Pack” and receive a 60-day, unlimited use, FREE INTRODUCTORY TRIAL on all monthly subscription features.

By providing interactive instruments, it connects both residential and commercial consumers to trades professionals, suppliers and related businesses in an easy, efficient, and effective manner. myTradesDirect.com empowers consumers to make more informed, confident decisions and provides businesses with the opportunity to easily promote themselves to their target market.
