Partnering With Icondia

Icondia’s aim is to provide the best possible experience for our customers – that includes making sure that we can provide all of the ancillary services that our customers need from time to time. To do this we draw upon our network of related service providers: everything from legal advice through to advertising and promotion. Not surprisingly, we set a few rules about what we expect from a partnership:

  • The customer comes first. We offer services that are of genuine benefit to our customers, that enhance the customer experience and which provide value for money. We don’t sell people unnecessary widgets or mumbo-jumbo services.
  • The relationship should be mutually beneficial. We expect your services to add value to the service we provide our customers. Similarly we expect our services to add value to your own business.
  • A commitment to simplicity and transparency. We expect all of our dealings with partners to be open and transparent. We don’t take hidden fees or commissions from our customers and we expect the same of our partners.
  • A commitment to excellence. Above all, we intend to be the best in our business. We believe that if you care about your own customers you’ll want the same.

If you think your company can provide a service that meets these criteria, then we’d like to hear from you. Contact us to discuss this in more detail.

If you like what we’re doing but a partnership arrangement is not appropriate, you might like to become an Icondia affiliate: click here for more information.
