TRUSTED DIRECTORIES ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP WITH FIX IT UP!

27. Jan 2021 Trusted Saskatoon Trusted Media , Trusted Partner News, Website

S & E TRUSTED ONLINE DIRECTORIES INC & FIX IT UP -JOINT MEDIA RELEASE

For Release - January 26th, 2021 at 10 am SASKATOON, SK

TRUSTED DIRECTORIES ANNOUNCE A PARTNERSHIP WITH FIX IT UP!

S & E Trusted Online Directories is a multi-award-winning Saskatchewan marketing company headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Founded in 2011 by local award-winning entrepreneur Sara Wheelwright, it has a local online directory division, that includes Trustedsaskatoon.com and Trustedregina.com. In addition, there is a full-service marketing agency, Our company focus is supporting local businesses operated with integrity as a priority.

FIX IT UP is owned by Brad Fekula and Dwayne Melcher. Brad has over a decade of marketing expertise at Cubbon Advertising, primarily dealing with Saskatchewan businesses. Dwayne is the owner of Melcher Media, a previously Trusted Regina website company and a highly respected Saskatchewan tech agency specializing in software and virtual reality (VR) development. The Fix-It Up software allows consumers a convenient and reliable way to save time and money when looking for a local quote. The FIX IT UP quote software was created by the developers at Melcher Media to revolutionize the way quotes are provided.

SASKATCHEWAN TECH COLLABORATING TO CREATE ADDITIONAL VALUE FOR SMALL SASK BUSINESSES

In 2020 Trusted and FIX IT Up entered into a mutually beneficial legal partnership agreement with the view to providing more support to local businesses in Saskatchewan. On the surface the 2 companies may seem to be in competition as local web-based directories; but in fact, on closer inspection, it became obvious that they instead complement each other's activities. They share a common goal, to provide the best solutions and advertising value to their clients in the Saskatchewan services industry.

The Trusted Directories partner with a select and restricted number of locally owned businesses. These businesses fall into 40 specific categories and most are based in and around Saskatoon and Regina. These businesses are mostly service providers, and to become partners they must meet a unique set of standards, pass a Trusted qualification process, and sign a contract to commit to upholding specific standards of service ‘ The Trusted Guarantees’. Trusted then promotes the partners individually and as part of the ‘Trusted Community’. Essentially, we sell the Trusted Partners as our only ‘product‘ to the local marketplace via a comprehensive marketing campaign - including, but not limited to, billboards, radio, social media, CPC campaigns, event marketing, sponsorship, and more. This gives the partners significant exposure in their local marketplace, drives quality leads, and helps their SEO. Trusted also contributes time and money to help the partner's community support efforts, and the Trusted community holds each other accountable as a group of like-minded, quality-driven, locally owned businesses.

FIX IT UP directories on the other hand, primarily provides a comprehensive quoting platform for local service providers in over 220+ categories. A detailed and industry-specific online quoting system saves service providers significant time. In addition, to build such a platform/feature on their own websites would be a significant cost that most service providers would not invest in. FIX IT UP businesses pay a very small lead fee, which they only pay if they are selected for a job they quote. The benefits for consumers and corporations is that they can provide all their information in one easy-to-use platform and await quotes from local service providers. This is a managed process and also saves consumers time shopping around and the frustration of businesses not getting back to enquiries in a timely manner.

The Trusted/FIX IT UP partnership involves the following elements:

1. Integration of the FIX IT UP quote software into the Trusted Directories clouded database platform.

This means that Trusted Partners will be able to receive detailed quotes from local consumers who want a Trusted local service provider. This saves the consumer time and as the partners have to respond in a timely fashion customers are not left ‘ hanging ‘ waiting for a reply. In addition, they can request a quote at their convenience as our platform is open for business 24/ 7!

A bonus for the Trusted partners, is that the quote link and landing page is unique to each business. This means they will not be competing with other businesses in their category that are signed up as a FIX IT UP provider.

See a listing example here: https://www.trustedsaskatoon.com/listing.aspx?lid=334

2. Trusted Saskatoon & Regina Partners who are listed on Fix It Up will be highlighted as Trusted on Fix It Up.

This differentiates Trusted Partners and recognizes the steps they have taken to invest in their integrity.
It also shines a spotlight on their consistently high standards of quality work and customer service and gives them an advantage in the selection process.

3. FIX IT UP operates on a ‘ typical online directory model’.
They aim to sign up as many businesses as possible and charge a very small fee per lead. After staffing and development costs this does not allow for much capital to invest in local marketing to drive consumers to use the platform, especially when it comes to mass media like print, broadcast or billboard.

The Trusted Directories model is different, they charge more for an annual fee and severely restrict the number of businesses in each category to offer much more individual promotion, marketing value, and personalized service for their partners. They appreciate the quality of the FIX IT UP quoting software and in return for integration they are committed to promoting the feature and their FIX IT UP Partnership as part of their ongoing marketing strategy in the cities they serve.

The owners of Trusted and FIX IT UP believe that local businesses like themselves should actively seek out collaboration opportunities in order to become more successful. We appreciate each other’s strengths, and we are proud to enter into a partnership as two established and recognized leaders in the Saskatchewan marketing industry. A community whose tech sector collaborates is a valuable asset to the province and we believe is crucial for the success of Sask tech as a whole.

Support local and we all win!

Trusted Saskatoon Mortgage Brokers explain the Mortgage Approval Process

4. Nov 2019 Admin Saskatoon Mortgages, Talk to Experts, Trusted Media , Trusted Partner News, Trusted Tips

Purchasing your home is one of the biggest and most important decisions that you can make. In the latest Saskatoon Mortgage tip we share the mortgage approval process.

Mortgage Approval Process

Being READY, ORGANIZED and ENGAGED are the keys to a successful Mortgage Approval process.

In this article, we will walk you through the steps from PREAPPROVAL to POSSESSION date so that you have the information you need to make big decisions in a timely manner.

Trusted Saskatoon Mortgage Brokers do a full pre-qualification.

They ensure you have ALL of the information you need to make informed decisions about the largest purchase and investment you will ever make.
They are Provincially legislated to work in your best interests.
There is no cost to using their services.
They are knowledgeable about everything related to mortgages, including any new mortgage rules or requirements that may impact your decisions.
They review your file and find the best lenders, rates, terms and conditions that meet your current and future financial goals.
They are speedy. Response times include evenings and weekends when necessary to keep your file moving in a timely manner.
They walk you through every step of the process in an easy-to-understand manner.
They organize the process for you so that the entire experience is exciting and well-understood.
They really care. Although most of the process is over the phone and email, or online they are located in Saskatchewan and are here for you every single step of the way.

Each applicant will have different information that has to be collected depending on their employment status, length of time at the employer, where the downpayment funds are coming from and overall credit health.

They collect ALL of the needed supporting documentation along with a FULL application at the time of the pre-approval request.

This ensures that the information we have on file will match what the lender will accept and support once you have an accepted offer on a home you wish to purchase.

They walk you through each step of ‘the process’. They are not the bank. They are here to ensure that they structure the application and the mortgage approval request in a way that the lender will support and easily/quickly approve, all while setting up a mortgage that meets your future needs and financial goals.

They make the process as simple as possible.

In saying that there is information you must disclose and paperwork that must be provided in order for mortgage brokers to present the best lender options and rates available on the market.

Unfortunately, they cannot run hypothetical figures based on the information they gather from you over the phone. They require a full application and supporting documentation.

The more organized we are in communicating solid information to you; the simpler the process for you.

Why do we check your credit when you are only asking for a PRE-APPROVAL?

Your credit score is a huge key to the entire mortgage approval process.

The new mortgage rules outlined by the Federal Government in October 2016 made your credit score more important than ever.

Your score and the overall health of your credit will determine what lenders may consider your application, your total maximum purchase price and rate in some cases.

Your credit is important to us!

Our goal is to ensure your credit is healthy and stays healthy through the life of your mortgage (25 years), to ensure we can assist you with your renewal options in the future.

We are happy to provide tips and suggestions to build stronger credit throughout the pre-approval process.

We have a 5-star review on GOOGLE because we treat each transaction like our very own mortgage approval.

Our database has been built from amazingly happy clients that refer our services to their friends, family and colleagues.

We are speedy, knowledgeable in everything related to mortgages and we are able to provide same-day pre-approvals.

Communication is the single most important part of the entire transaction. We explain things thoroughly and clearly, in a way that you can understand.

Most important we are always here with you through the process to answer any questions that may come up.

What is the process?

We are dedicated to amazing communication – which includes speedy reply time.

For that reason, we have an amazing process that allows us to move fast even if you have tight timelines to meet.

TrustedSaskatoon.com Celebrates Huge Milestone - as over 350,000 visitors visit Saskatoon's Number 1 Online Directory

28. Mar 2019 Trusted Saskatoon Trusted Media , Website

The Trusted Saskatoon team are excited to share we have had over 350,000 people visit Trustedsaskatoon.com since we launched in 2011!! This is a monumental milestone for our small Saskatoon women-owned business and we are so proud of our dedicated local team. Of course huge kudos must go to the amazing locally owned and accountable community of Trusted Saskatoon businesses. They are run with integrity and we are proud to promote and support their efforts. They are our product!!

Many of the Trusted Saskatoon partners bought into the Trusted directories concept nearly 8 years ago - with ZERO results - look at the community we have now! I will be forever grateful for their trust and their investment in the concept and my dream to create a 'better option' for consumers looking for local businesses! Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder

Local Buyers With Local Needs Supporting Local Businesses!

Nearly 60% or just over 215,000 of the visits 350,000 + visitors to TrustedSaskatoon.com were from people in Saskatoon, 85.25% from Saskatchewan and 98% from Canada!

How do we know this?

The website analytics tracks each IP address that visits the site. IP is short for (Internet Protocol) address, a numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet. We can also see what kind of device the site was accessed on, what browser they used, what pages each visitor looked at on the directory, how long they spent choosing and reading the information, and even how they got to Trusedsaskatoon.com (EG: Google Searches, Google Ads, Facebook or Trusted Partners websites!)

Tougher Times May Be Over in Saskatoon as Directory Visitor Numbers Trend UP in 2019.

You can clearly see in the data above, 2017 and half of 2018 were tougher and visitor numbers were down. Although we still invested the same $ in marketing and had well over 35,000 people visit in our slowest calendar year. We believe this effect was due to the ‘boom' ending. It seems most consumers were nervous to spend their hard earned money on anything but the products and services they actually needed at that time.

Just look at the upturn in visitors that begin in the fall of 2018 and is really taking off in 2019 - over 18500 visitors ALREADY this year!! A record year may be in store for Trusted in 2019!

Trusted Saskatoon Trivia

Wonder what the Top 5 categories have been since we launched?

What about the last 12months?

As a local online DIRECTORY, Trusted Saskatoon's primary role is to connect consumers who are actively looking for products and services, to local businesses they can trust. The directory listings are extremely comprehensive - including verified customer reviews, images, and video. We also have a HUGE library of nearly 1000 articles right here in our Trusted Tips Section - these helpful articles (blog posts) are mostly supplied by our local Trusted Saskatoon partners, who are the local experts in their industries. They are extremely well read and provide a unique local resource of information.

Top 5 most read blogs in the Trusted Saskatoon Tip library over the last 12 month?

We are excited to continue our growth, as we welcome diverse and new Trusted Saskatoon partners every month to our community. In 2019 so far we have welcomed:

Occasionally we do part ways with businesses and sometimes we are asked why they leave. Some retire, close their business, move, change their business ownership or they simply choose to go in a different direction with their marketing. Occasionally we do have to make the tough decision to end the partnership. We do this if we feel that the fit is not right and that they are no longer in line with our overall mission, or that they are not committed to upholding the 5 Trusted Guarantees.

We like to view this as an opportunity, as it allows us to meet new prospects, nominated business and also follow up with those on the waiting list of companies who are interested in joining the community. We have a maximum of 3 policy - This means we only allow 3 businesses in competition at any time in each of the 40 categories we provide. Also in 2019, we added Non - Profits to the directory and gifted 4 Saskatoon Non - Profits listings and free promotion.

2019 is destined to be an amazing year, we have SO many amazing things coming your way Saskatoon! So watch this space! Thank you for your continued support of our Trusted Directories concept and our community Saskatoon!!

Supporting Saskatoon businesses, consumers, and the community is what we do BEST!
