First impressions count and, as the shop window for your business, it’s important to make sure that your website lets potential customers know that you offer a finance option.
Bluestone can provide you with accurate and powerful content to immediately inject a finance section into your existing site. The content can be tailored to your sector, your business and your strategic priorities, highlighting the potential benefits of finance as well as things they need to consider before committing.
A link back to the Bluestone website from yours adds significant credibility to your offering and reinforces the fact that your customers can trust in our 25 years of experience, independence, industry expertise and award-winning service.
It's vital to communicate with your customers where they spend most of their time, and today that often means getting involved in social media. We've invested in vast library of content for a range of social media platforms including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
From short, snappy posts and eye-catching imagery to videos and podcasts, we can create co-branded collateral that explains finance simply and accurately in a tone of voice that suits your organisation.
Providing your clients with the option to finance is more than just offering them a price. Although the ability to spread the cost is extremely powerful, you may need to give your customer more information about the process and so they can be sure they are making the right choice.
Much of our resource library is available in electronic format for easy integration into emailed documents or can be provided in printable formats.
Sometimes you can't beat the personal approach which is why we are always ready to get out of the office to help where we can.
If you have industry trade shows or your own events that you would like us to get involved in, your account manager will be more than happy to come along and meet with your customers.
Having a member of our expert team on hand to explain finance options, illustrate the potential tax benefits and answer questions can be invaluable.
We can also create co-branded marketing that can be given to customers during events so your message stays with them.

A finance agreement is a legal contract and requires both attention to detail and a thorough process to ensure accuracy.
Our internal team provide you with an administrative support to ensure the detail of the application is correct and it has been proposed to funders in the right way.
Although traditionally presented as an option to a customer at the quotation stage, we also help you convert customers who are late or struggling to pay their by switching them across to a finance agreement. Subject to their credit, this can be a useful way to collect cash and avoid problem debtors or even bad debt.
It can be difficult to identify which prospects are likely to be interested in using finance. In some cases this means that customers, who would genuinely benefit from using finance, don’t get offered it. These are lost opportunities but something that can be easily avoided with our help.
Our experienced team review your pipeline of sales opportunities and categorise each one into a simple, colour-coded format.
