Media Coverage: Is Your Business Reallymoving.com?

En Route Magazine, 22/01/2008

Is your business reallymoving.com?

As the January peak arrives – Nicola Augier, of one of the UK’s largest online moving home quotation portals reallymoving.com, takes a look at the year ahead, and highlights the growth of online enquiries and how the removals industry can take advantage of this powerful opportunity.

To further support the growth and success of this fast-growing web-based phenomenon (last year reallymoving.com generated quotes for a staggering £72 million of business for its clients) the company is welcoming 2008 in with the launch of its new faster and easier to navigate site.  New exciting service enhancements have been added to deliver even more value back to removals firms, explains Nicola:

“Whether a multiple operator – or a sole trader – business development and lead generation is really key to any business operating in the removal sector.”

“We currently work with over 400 businesses across the UK, some of which rely largely on the enquiries we can provide to generate business. And now, we are pleased to announce we can offer even better capabilities to our partners.”

The concept behind reallymoving.com is simple, homebuyers (or businesses) can access free and immediate quotations around services needed in the home moving process. For example, surveyors, conveyancing solicitors, removal firms and HIPS providers all quote via reallymoving.com. Leads are forwarded on an instantaneous basis to partners at the same time the customer receives your price. You can receive all this for a few pence each time you quote.

“In 2008 we are also offering our partners the ability to provide instant quotes powered by reallymoving.com on THEIR OWN website! This means that removal firms will be able to offer their own instant quoting service – taking advantage of the technology and power of the reallymoving.com site which can provide an instant response on their behalf. And, by using our services, partners can leave all the management to us,” continued Nicola.

“We have also made some changes to the way that partners can use the site – they can now manage their instant quoting service even more easily than before. Each partner is supplied with a log-in and a password. They can check their leads online, change their prices, and update contact details and we are making it even more user-friendly with online payment facilities, and we will be featuring new and ‘veteran’ partners on our home page.

“It couldn’t be easier, as a couple of our long-standing partners can testify…” continued Nicola.

“Reallymoving.com has added huge value to my business, the number and quality of leads provided are excellent and it is a very cost effective method of advertising. It is simple to set up and can easily be managed online with great customer service advisers when required. I have tried similar companies in the past but found the quality of leads from reallymoving.com of a higher standard and more cost effective.” said Adam from Passion Moves.

“We have been receiving leads through reallymoving.com for the last three years, and we have seen a steady increase during that time which has helped us to grow our business. The team at reallymoving.com is always there to answer our questions and we have developed a fantastic relationship with them,” said Nick at Alltime Removals.
