Review cards and lanyards for plumbers, electricians, builders, decorators, gardeners and cleaners. No shop, no counter, no problem — the card travels with you and gets tapped the moment the job is signed off and the customer is happy.
Trades are chosen on reviews more than any other sector
Think about what you are actually asking a customer to do. Let a stranger into their home. Give them access to their boiler, their wiring, their roof. Pay several hundred or several thousand pounds, often before the work is finished.
The only thing making that feel safe is your review profile. Not your website, not your van livery — the number of people who have already trusted you and said it went fine. Review count is the trust signal in trades, and it is the single biggest reason one quote gets accepted over another at the same price.
The review moment lasts about ten seconds
There is a precise instant on every job when the customer is at peak happiness. You have finished, you have tidied up, you have shown them it works, and they say some version of “brilliant, thanks — that’s great.”
That is the moment. Ten seconds later they are thinking about their day, you are thinking about the next job, and it is gone. Send a text asking for a review that evening and you are competing with their dinner, their kids and their phone battery.
A card on your lanyard means you can catch it. You are not asking a favour — you are handing them something while they are already saying thank you.
“I don’t have a shop, so where does it even go?”
This is the objection we hear most from trades, and it is exactly what the lanyard format solves. Your card does not need premises. It needs to be on you, at the end of the job.
- On a lanyard — worn on the job, tapped at sign-off. The default choice for most trades.
- Van dashboard or side door — handy if you walk the customer out to the van at the end.
- Invoice or quote folder — pairs with the paperwork moment.
- Left with the customer — a card in the meter cupboard or by the boiler doubles as a reminder of who to call next time.
- Toolbox or work bag — always with you, never forgotten.
- Wall-mounted card — for a boiler service label, consumer unit or fuse board where you want it to stay put.
It works for the customer who is not tech-minded
Worth saying plainly, because a lot of trades work in older customers’ homes: nobody needs to download anything, create an account, or know what NFC means. They hold their phone near the card and their review page opens. If their phone has NFC switched off, they point the camera at the printed QR code instead. That is the whole process.

Trades FAQs
I work alone — how many cards do I need?
One lanyard card is genuinely enough to start. Most sole traders order a lanyard plus a spare for the van. If you run a team, one per person means whoever finishes the job can take the review.
What if I’m not there at the end of the job?
Leave a card with the paperwork or fix one near the work you have done. It keeps working after you have driven away, and it doubles as a reminder of who to call next time something goes wrong.
Will it survive being in a van all year?
The cards are PVC, waterproof and rated for around five to ten years of daily use. If one ever stops working, we replace it free.
