INTRODUCING......VIDEO!

We’re excited to announce a new feature on our platform: the ability to add videos to your Hire, sales and service ads! As part of our ongoing commitment to help businesses like you, we've introduced this upgrade to ensure your ads deliver a greater impact. Whether you’re in construction, plumbing, groundworks, machine sales or any other trade, integrating video into your ad can significantly enhance your visibility and showcase your machines and services more effectively.

In today’s fast-paced world, video content has become one of the most powerful marketing tools. Studies show that video increases engagement, captures attention quicker, and communicates more effectively than text or images alone. By offering video ads, we are giving you the opportunity to present your services in a more engaging way, which is especially crucial for businesses in sectors where showing customers what you’re offering and the quality of your work can make all the difference against the competition.

Video advertising allows potential customers to see your machines and / or work in action—whether it's showcasing completed projects, demonstrating a service, or sharing customer testimonials. For trades the ability to visually demonstrate the high standards of your workmanship could be the deciding factor in securing new clients.

BENEFITS……… * Video ads are proven to engage users longer than standard text or image-based ads. People are far more likely to watch a short video showcasing your services than to scroll through a paragraph of text. This increased engagement leads to more clicks, inquiries, and conversions.

* A video can provide a detailed view of your skills and completed projects. Whether you are a plumber installing a new bathroom, or a groundworks company, showing this process on video allows potential customers to see the quality of your work.

* Videos give your ads a personal touch, which helps build trust. Hearing a voice gives the ads a human element and not just another listing. Customers feel more confident in businesses that take the time to present their offering in a clear and professional manner. Adding customer testimonials or interviews in your videos can further strengthen this trust.

* Adding a video to your ads will help you stand out from competitors who may only use text and images. In industries such as groundworks or agricultural services, a well-made video that highlights your unique approach or specialisation can set you apart and attract more clients.

* Videos leave a lasting impression. Customers are more likely to remember the business that impressed them with a visual demonstration of services than one that relied on a plain text description.
