When you hear the words “We are experiencing a period of record inflation”, what emotions does that ignite within you? Is it one of anxiety and fear, or one of excitement and opportunity?

How did Tradie Packs solve your challenges or concerns? 
Tradie Packs provided us with a logo revamp and branding that was professional and consistent across all our branding materials. They allowed us to showcase our company in a way that shows the fun and exciting parts of our team, whilst still staying true to our trade.

When your business is impacted by hold ups such as weather, re-scheduled jobs, and more recently COVID-19 challenges and restrictions, this could be a perfect time to use your teams labour to assist in other areas of the business. It is costing your business $70+ per hour to employ that ‘on the tools’ person. This is their hourly pay rate, plus the overhead component to employ that person.

Before engaging Tradie Packs, what were the challenges / concerns you had with your current branding? Lack of consistency was our biggest problem but we definitely had a change of clientele we were trying to reach with a whole new approach to our message and online presence was needed.
