BAL, provider of full tiling solutions, is encouraging tilers and contractors to create their own free web profile and get real job leads as part of the manufacturer’s online “Find a Tiler” facility for homeowners.

Available by signing up to BAL’s YOU+BAL partnership programme at www.bal-adhesives.com/y-plus-bal-reg, tilers and contractors can create a company profile, post project pictures, upload videos, add social media and contacts and advertise their skills, experience and qualifications to potential clients.

Homeowners looking for a tiler can select up to three local fixers on the search facility and ask them to quote directly for the job using the online form. The homeowner can then select the best quote, with each fixer notified whether they’ve won or lost the job.
BAL Partners can also collect reviews, with customers leaving their feedback online and rating the tiler using a five star system. These are then published on each tiler’s web profile (subject to approval by BAL).

To encourage homeowners to review their tiler, BAL is also giving them the chance to win back the cost of their tiling work (paid for by BAL) every month by simply submitting their review through the web or the Homeowner Tiler Review form available to all BAL Partners. The winner is simply picked at random from all the reviews submitted that month.

BAL is also re-introducing their popular “Tiler of the Month” competition. Each month, BAL will select a winner from the company’s list of BAL Partners based on job reviews received from homeowners, experience and skills added, profiles updated and project galleries.
The chosen tiler will receive publicity in their local press and on the BAL Homeowners page.

Alex Underwood, Head of Marketing at BAL, said: “At BAL we’re always looking at ways to help our customers get more work, whether it’s through innovative products or project support, which is why we’ve re-launched our Find a Tiler facility, previously found on Tilerworld.com.”

Launched in February, YOU+BAL is BAL’s way of welcoming all fixers and contractors to partner with BAL.

Signing up to YOU+BAL gives BAL Partners an even greater opportunity to be at the heartbeat of BAL: to instantly benefit from the full support the company can offer, giving BAL Partners access into BAL to develop the products and time-saving tools to help business development.

Tools, rewards and services available to BAL Partners included access to the BAL Forum, free sales aids and merchandise, case study development and social media promotion, free specification tools, training courses, 24/7 industry leading technical advice and project support and exclusive rewards and discounts at selected trade events.
