S & E Trusted Online Directories was a finalist for Marketing for the prestigious Saskatchewan Chamber of commerce ABEX Awards 2012, and it was their innovative marketing strategies they use to advertise www.trustedsaskatoon.com and www.trustedregina.com that saw them recognized across the province after less than 18months in business.
The Trusted group of local directories www.trustedsaskatoon.com and www.trustedregina.com really are the smart and simple choice.
So what is Sara Wheelwrights, our founders background?
Here she shares some of her story and some big goals!
" I've been immersed in the wonderful world of marketing, advertising and business since 1992. I persuaded business owners to buy Yellow pages, Internet, Pharmaceuticals and Radio over the years, very succesfully, before I decided to take the leap and start my own marketing/ advertising company. I founded S & E Trusted Online Directories in 2011 after thinking about the idea for years.
At Trusted we ONLY promote and do business with trustworthy locally accountable businesses. I am confident that before I created the Trusted concept, that these wonderful local businesses had no where to turn to in the advertising world that really understood how great they are, and truly valued the really important qualities of honesty amd integrity above the endless quest for MORE SALES and advertising revenue.
My primary goal is to ensure that all the Trusted partners are well represented by my Trusted team, and that the public in the cities we service are informed about and directed to Trusted businesses as the preferred choice! My company communicates daily to the public via many platforms and we help them understand why and how the TRUSTED businesses stand apart from their local competition by being Trusted. We commit to always assisting the public in the cities we serve, by providing quick and easy access to great retail and service providers.
I aim to take Trusted nationwide within 3 years, I never think small it would be a disservice to my 3 children, my supporters, my clients and to the concept of 'being' Trusted "

Another Great ' made in Saskatchewan' company in our Windows and Doors category- check out their listing here to read the great testimonials from the REAL clients we surveyed....In their MISSION Statement they say " We willl be there from start to finish..and we are not happy till you are satisfied" How refreshing to hear such a customer focused mission statement....one that is in real speak by real people and understood by all. Along with kitchen and bathrooms , windows are the most important things to invest in on a property...and if you wish to keep a good resale value it is vital that your windows are kept up to date and in good repair....living in a climate like Saskatchewan , with it's extremes can be hard on windows and doors..so to have a company that manufactures TESTED products right here ..well, it's just a smart choice! The bonus is having such a great team to service you!
