The trades who stay with us year after year are the strongest evidence we have. Here is what some of them say.
These reviews are from tradespeople who advertise or have advertised with Keep Me Card. They are reproduced with permission.
The strength of Keep Me Card is that customers already trust the format. When they call, the conversation starts in a much better place than any online lead I have ever had. There is no price comparison, no “I’m getting a few quotes” — they have the card on the fridge and they call the number. That is a completely different type of enquiry.
I tried Checkatrade for two years. The leads were shared, the customers were shopping around, and half the time they never even answered when I called back. With Keep Me Card, when someone calls it’s because they have my number in front of them and they want me specifically. The exclusivity is the difference.
I have been on the card for several years now. The calls I get from it are genuine emergencies — boiler breakdowns, heating failures in winter — the kind of jobs where the customer just needs someone reliable quickly. It suits the way I work.
What I value most is the consistency. The card goes out every year, my name is in front of thousands of local households, and the calls come in throughout the year. It is not a spike and drop like Google Ads — it is a steady background presence that keeps my diary filled.
I was sceptical at first — I thought the printed card was an old-fashioned idea. But I have come to see it as the point. People keep physical things. They stick them on the fridge. They do not bookmark websites or save numbers from ads. The card stays in the home, my number stays with them.
I renewed without hesitation. The quality of the calls I get from the card is genuinely different. Homeowners who call from the card are not price-shopping. They are calling because they trust what they are holding. That trust transfers to me before I have even said a word.
“When they call the number on the card, they call only you. No middleman. No comparison.”The Keep Me Card difference — exclusivity built in since 1983
Across all the feedback we receive from advertisers, the same themes come up consistently.
The most consistent feedback is that calls from the card convert better than calls from any other source. Homeowners who have the card in front of them are not shopping around — they are ready to book.
Advertisers who have used shared lead platforms consistently describe the exclusivity as transformative. Not competing against other trades in your category changes both the economics and the psychology of every enquiry.
Unlike digital advertising that stops the moment you stop paying, the card remains in the home all year. Advertisers describe a steadier, more predictable flow of work rather than the peaks and troughs of paid digital channels.
The majority of our advertisers renew year after year. Long tenure is the clearest signal that the platform delivers. We are not dependent on onboarding new advertisers to stay viable — our existing ones stay because it works.
We are happy to connect you with an existing advertiser in your trade category so you can hear directly from someone doing the same work as you.
