Spreading the word
Play a part in our marketing?
Because we’re a not-for-profit company, our focus is on maintaining the lowest prices for customers rather than spending a lot of money on advertising or paying commission to ‘switch’ companies (energy comparison services).
This means that we may always remain something of a ‘tortoise’ in marketing terms, in relation to the rest of the energy market’s leading ‘hares’. But you can help our work expand, and help many others to benefit from fair prices, simply by recommending the benefits of Ebico’s fair energy rates to others. Simply forward our web address or details to your own friends, family and other contacts.
Why help?
Many people use switch companies as their guide if they’re considering changing energy suppliers. These companies present themselves as a neutral voice in the market and a guide to the best deal – but in reality they can’t be. Commercial pressures inevitably mean that in reality they prefer customers to switch to suppliers who pay them a fee – even when to switch to Ebico would save their customers more money.
Currently most ‘neutral’ consumer advice is provided by such companies with their own commercial interests – so they don’t give the full picture. You can help broaden people’s awareness of the real alternatives on offer by telling them about Ebico.
Ebico customers can also help bring about positive change by encouraging Energywatch to get to grips with this issue. Energywatch is the independent gas and electricity watchdog whose stated aim is ‘to get the best deal we can for energy consumers. This includes providing free and impartial advice...’
