National Kitchen and Bath Association and ServiceMagic Alliance

July 30, 2009 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

ServiceMagic.com and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) announced today that the two organizations have formed a strategic alliance to benefit NKBA members and homeowners looking for the best contractors in their areas.

This partnership allows NKBA professionals to reach more consumers by gaining access to ServiceMagic.com’s targeted lead platform. They choose specific projects and zip codes to connect with homeowners in need of their services.

“In today’s economic climate, being more efficient with marketing resources is critical,” said Craig Smith, CEO of ServiceMagic.com. “ServiceMagic.com’s matching platform brings top-quality professionals right to the doorsteps of homeowners who are looking for someone with their skills.”
NKBA members will receive volume discounts and a waiver of ServiceMagic.com’s standard enrollment fee, which is used to cover the costs of the 10-point screening. With more than five million consumer requests expected in 2009, ServiceMagic also offers the NKBA expanded consumer reach and awareness. Consumers using ServiceMagic.com will gain exposure to the professionalism of NKBA members, who have benefited from the association’s leadership and educational focus for the kitchen and bath industry over the last 46 years.

“This is a win-win for homeowners and NKBA members. It is an honor to align with such a prestigious organization,” said Smith. “The NKBA shares ServiceMagic’s commitment to promoting kitchen and bathroom remodelers whose professionalism and quality not only meet, but exceed customer expectations.”

“By working with ServiceMagic, the National Kitchen & Bath Association is able to provide our members with even more value for their membership,” said NKBA CEO Don Sciolaro. “In this economy, it’s critical for professionals to increase their sales, and by taking advantage of the NKBA’s new program with ServiceMagic, NKBA members will be able to find more consumers in their local areas who are looking to remodel their kitchens and baths.”
