How to shout about my Trusted Service award once I’ve won

If you’re a winner, congratulations! Now it’s time to tell the world about it. We strongly encourage all our winners to proudly display their winners badge and certificate everywhere and anywhere customers can see it.

Winning a Trusted Service award is a fantastic testament to your dedication to providing outstanding customer service; the more you shout about it, the more customers and prospects know that you’re a brand that can be trusted to deliver!

Display your award on your website

You’ll receive a digital ‘Trusted Service’ badge, that can be used online, in e-mail campaigns, social media, and across your website. Displaying the badge proudly on your home page and next to call-to-action buttons is a fantastic way to reinforce trust with shoppers.

Display your award in-store

Your official award certificate is available by logging in with your winner’s code to our dedicated Trusted Service microsite – trustedservice.com. Simply add your business name to the .PDF in the relevant field.

Once you’ve got your certificate, why not display it in-store, or in your shop window, so that any customers that walk through the doors can immediately see you’re a reputable company.

Get sharing on social

Your Winners Code gives you access to your Trusted Service assets, which can be used across your social media channels with the hashtag #FeefoTrusted.

You will also find handy social sharing buttons, with a suggested message to help you let the world know.

We recommend thanking your customers for leaving their valuable reviews. E.g. We’ve won the @Feefo_Official Trusted Service award 2019! Thanks to all our customers for sharing their ratings and reviews! #FeefoTrusted

Winning our Trusted Service award is something to be extremely proud of, so be sure to shout it from the rooftops if you’re one of the lucky winners come the end of the month.
