Golden CO, October 7--ServiceMagic Inc., the online marketplace connecting homeowners to prescreened home service professionals, today announced a strategic relationship with the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).
ServiceMagic has put forth a program to support NARI by becoming a national member and offering its program to the association members. Through the relationship, the two organizations will provide NARI members with a means to increase their revenue and profits by reaching the increasing number of consumers utilizing the Internet to find home service professionals.
ServiceMagic creates a connection between ready-to-buy consumers and its prescreened member businesses that are matched to consumer service requests. The company currently operates nationally, attracting over 2 million consumers to its Web site each month and facilitating more than 125,000 monthly service requests to its member businesses. To date, ServiceMagic has facilitated more than 3 million consumer requests for home services, representing an estimated $7.5 billion in consumer spending.
"With more and more consumers going online to find local contractors, it's essential that our members have additional exposure to reach customers," said Don Vossburg, director of national membership and business development for NARI. "The Internet is proving to be a cost-effective alternative to use for reaching potential customers and ServiceMagic is an established, proven online tool that we believe will be extremely useful to our members in helping them grow their business."
NARI's 6,800 members are full service contractors, design-build firms, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, subcontractors, lenders and other related professionals who work in the remodeling field. Upon acceptance into the ServiceMagic network, member businesses begin receiving targeted customer leads in their area. Unlike traditional marketing such as the yellow pages, ServiceMagic members can target certain types of work that they find most profitable and specific locations in which they like to work.
