Bristan, the UK showers and taps brand, has launched the world’s first social media network exclusively for the plumbing community. Aptly named Connect, the new online platform will provide installers with a dedicated area to get in touch with each other, share information or ask questions in one central place.
Designed to make life easier for installers, the Connect platform has been developed to provide a completely free social media platform allowing plumbers to share hints, tips and product recommendations, as well as share images and video content.
Connect members will be the first to gain access to promotional offers and discounts on Bristan’s shower and tap ranges. The Connect social media community will also give installer news and information on new products, how-to-videos and plumbing industry news, in addition to direct access to the Bristan product experts.
Connect has been developed following the results of Bristan’s largest ever industry survey, conducted at the beginning of this year. The results showed that installers felt that there were few opportunities online for them to share information with each other and to help them with their work.
Fiona Bowyer, head of marketing at Bristan, said: “As a brand Bristan continues to develop ways to make life easier for installers. The Connect platform is another method by which we are trying to do this. By launching Connect we hope to offer installers a place to share their experiences and tips with other plumbers and in time become the number one resource for all plumbers throughout the UK.
“We plan to continue to develop the Connect platform over the next few years to offer a host of new features designed to provide further benefits to those members that regularly use the network.”
