Testimonials
'At all events the cost in my view is modest when all IFAP does is taken into account, but it was recouped within about two weeks as a result of the increased interest and activity generated. This has continued unabated, much to my surprise. I now have a problem as a result - I have around a 4 week lead time for any new client who wishes to have an initial consultation! I have noticed that the 'hits' on my own website have also increased exponentially.'

In the (almost) 2 years since I started my firm I have been using unbiased.co.uk as a source of new clients. On various IFA forums and in the trade press I have commented favourably about the value for money we have got from the service. Apart from our existing clients and contacts we have not done any other marketing (until this month) because we have been receiving a steady stream of quality clients through the unbiased site.
As an indication of the activity we have witnessed, since I returned to the office on 3rd January I have met with 5 new prospective clients who match my new client criteria. Three of these have already signed up to our service and I am positive that at least one other will also become a client. As our minimum client take on fee is £2,500 + Vat this has more than covered our costs. One of the new clients is a top city lawyer who found us through unbiased.co.uk. We expect to be able to bill £5,000 per annum from this one client alone, over and above our take on fee.
Of course, unbiased.co.uk doesn’t turn an enquiry into a client, we have spent a lot of time, effort and money on having an attractive website which turns the browsing visitor into a face to face meeting, and also our proposition is compelling. However, without unbiased we would have to find alternative ways to drive the merely inquisitive internet user into a real enquiry. On that basis unbiased has got to be the most cost effective and time effective marketing tool we have used.

'Extremely happy with the volume of prospects received as a result of signing up to the enhanced advertising package.'
Veronique Banse
La Bourse Ltd
'We are very pleased with the results so far, with a marked increase (up around 70%) in the number of leads we are receiving. We currently have five on the system and we are in the process of adding a further three IFAs. It has proven for ourselves to be a very cost effective way of raising our brand and profile in the IFA market, not to mention the benefits from additional clients and sales opportunities.'

'I confirm that the number of enquiries we have received since upgrading to the enhanced display has exceeded our expectations.'

'I was unsure about subscribing to the Enhanced Advertising Package but then took the view that for £24pm it would only take one enquiry which progressed to business to pay for the annual fee, therefore decided to proceed. In less than a week of my upgrade I had enquiry for mortgage funding which has resulted in commission of £700 so I can only be positive about the benefits from now on.'

'This is to let you know that IFA Promotion has surpassed all expectations with both the number and quality of enquiries generated since Holden and Partners took up membership just over two months ago. I would thoroughly endorse it to any IFA. Thanks for your help in getting us going as it were!'
Steven Pyne
Holden and Partners
'We are reticent about spending money on marketing but decided to try an enhanced listing with the Unbiased website. We have been very pleasantly surprised at the number of clients who have contacted us through the site. I am a single IFA practice and have had an average of one appointment a week with local clients as a result of our listing. This has been the most cost effective marketing we have ever undertaken and I would recommend an enhanced listing to any IFA practise.'
