- Q. What’s the real cost?
-
It’s just $49.50 for 12 months membership in your base region (an entire region much the same size as your local phone directory). You upload your business profile information and 2-3 images/logos. Additional business info and optional trading items can be completed if you wish to take advantage of the true value of a Trading Mate membership and you can even include your business social media links.
*For more information about pricing and inclusions click on the Pricing Schedule located on the information bar on the home page of our website.
- Q. What if I am just “too busy” to do this or am having trouble uploading my information onto the website?
-
We deal with very busy and tech challenged people every day – so we can now assist you in this process, just answer a few simple questions and we will locate your business information via your website or social media – or contact you to provide us with the information to “get it done” for you. This service including your 12 month membership listing* is just $99 and your ongoing memberships for consequent years will revert back to just $49.50 annually. See our Terms of Use for more information.
*Base region membership
- Q. What if my business is active in more than one region?
-
Easy – you can just add the regions you want to advertise in additionally for just $22 each!
- Q. What if I have more than one business or want to advertise in more than one category?
-
Firstly we give you the option of a free unprioritised listing in a 2nd category. If you operate different businesses or would like to prioritise your business in further categories, you can upload each membership separately for that same low annual price of $49.50.
- Q. Is a Trading Mate membership just for “tradies”?
-
Not at all, Trading Mate is a national advertising platform for ALL businesses, but particularly suited to those with 0-14 employees. If you’ve got an ABN or are just starting a hobby business and have goods to sell or services to provide, we want YOU!
- Q. What about my financial details upon payment?
-
Trading Mate operates all payment processing via eWAY through NAB, which means we cannot operate without all the correct security (SSL), nor can we store ANY of your financial information in or on our website. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for further information.
- Q. What’s this I hear about a TM website service?
-
That’s the best bit! If you haven’t uploaded a website link, we will transpose your uploaded information into your very own three page website. The cost to activate this is just $396 and includes 2 years domain registration AND 2 years website hosting. The automatic domain name will be listed as your business name including your postcode eg. www.mybusiness4879.com.au, but you can easily do a search for a different .com.au name for the same price. (A post-coded domain name can be a positive for small business as it immediately identifies that business in their own particular region). You can accept, or decline and we save the information for you in case you would like to take this offer up at a later date.
- Q. What’s to lose, where do I sign up?
- Q. What about these events I hear about?
