Zim Paint Contractors

Got a job in Newlands worth R150,000. Shortly after joining SweetAs, Zim Paint Contractors got 2 repeat clients. Plus, they managed to add 2 cars to their fleet thanks to the boost in business.

About the Business

Background

I founded Zim Paint Contractors 3 years ago, offering painting services. Our team has over 10 years of experience and our services include painting, plastering, roofing, renovations, skimming, renovations as well as paving and tiling. The thing I love most about the business is that it not only provides me with a good income, it gives me a great feeling when I see how happy customers are with my services.

Goals and challenges when joining SweetAs

As I brought Zim Paint Contractors on SweetAs, my main goal was getting new customers. While we had a decade of experience as a team and had tried other advertising platforms, the results were not as expected. So naturally we pinned a lot of hopes on SweetAs when we came on board.
