It’s only been a month since ManoMano launched their new ManoManoPro platform in the UK. It is designed by, and for, trade professionals as a ‘one-of-a-kind’ dedicated B2B service aimed to make their lives easier. One month on and the platform has surged in popularity across the UK, and data has revealed that carpenters, plumbers, and electricians are the tradespeople enjoying the new Pro marketplace the most.
The marketplace has also revealed its best-selling product categories across the platform so far, which include Heating & Air Conditioning, Showers & Accessories and Power Tools, all of which are in direct correlation to the most active trades seen on ManoManoPro.
What this means for retailers is that if you’re supplying tools and materials that these trade professionals want then you’d better get listing on ManoMano if you aren’t already. This is a massive opportunity to tap into a market segment that hitherto may have visited physical trade outlets or ordered direct from their favourite suppliers, but are now shopping on ManoManoPro.
In terms of geographical split, London is where the majority of sign-ups have come from. Birmingham places second, whilst Manchester and Nottingham place third and fourth respectively.
The platform is also available in app format, giving Pros quick and direct access in their back pocket to all the ManoManoPro features and benefits. The app has proved popular so far, with over 100,000 downloads and an average rating of 4.7/5.
It has been great to see such a positive response to the new platform within the UK. We know that traders are facing one of their busiest years on record and want to make their lives easier. With a digital-savvy population of traders in the UK, we can see this platform already becoming their back-pocket go-to for all tools and materials.
