I have been using TT since 2013 and I can say that it has been the best thing that has ever happened to my business. I am not sure where I would be without it. I have never really had any issues with the different formats that TT has evolved through. I come from an era of print advertising being pretty much the only option other than literally going door to door to get your name out there. This platform has been such an efficient use of my time and money. TT is by far the biggest source of new clients which is the lifeblood of my business. Even if they doubled their fees I wouldn't bat an eye because it is still a lot less expensive than old school advertising. A big thank you to the entire TT team!! Keep up the great work.   Cheers! ... View more

Hi realjrob24, have you weighed out what you spent on TT realitive to what you have made on leads from TT? And have any of the TT leads opened the door to more work that was not directly from TT? I have been in business for almost 20 years now and I remeber the days of only having an option of using direct mailers, local papers and posting a actual piece of paper on a actual cork board with an actual thumbtack. Direct mailing is expensive, ineffective and there is no way to track how effective it was. I do understand that the prices for TT have risen but please keep it in perspective. TT is so cheap compared to traditional marketing it is crazy and you can track all the leads that you get plust getting analytics on your competition. If you are not seeing the returns that you like then check out what your competion is doing on TT. Maybe it is time to update your profile or prices. I have been on TT for about 5 years and at the 3-4 year mark I realized that my profile looked dated compared to what my competion was doing so i updated and improved it.  I recently stopped offering a discount for first time clients and raised my prices just to see what would happen and it actually helped get more clients through TT. Just my too sense.    Cheers, Tom ... View more
