.Tel.us: What do you do?
Two years ago Harry Sharif took over All-United Cars. His vision was
to create a highly responsive and professional private-hire taxi company
that is fast, friendly and safe.
“Our operations are fully computerised and all our cars are metered
and tracked – which means we can assure passengers they are in safe
hands, whatever the time of day or night,” explains Harry.
Today the company is proud of the fact that 98 per cent of all
customers who ring their booking team will be getting into an All-United
Cars taxi within 10 minutes of placing that initial call.
“Our mission statement is ‘All-United, All-Efficient, All-Professional, All of the Time,’” confirms Harry.
The company has built a local reputation for reliable service.
Customers regularly pre-book their holiday transfers to and from
Manchester airport, and a number of local wedding organisers use
All-United Cars to ensure the bridal party and their guests get to the
venue in time and safely back to their hotel or home at the end of the
celebrations.

With more and more people searching for information online using
their mobile phones, Harry knew it was important that the phone number
for All-United Cars can be found quickly and easily, even when customers
are on the move.
“Many of our customers are younger people who enjoy being a part of
Manchester’s vibrant night life. They are smartphone savvy when it comes
to searching local listings, which means we need to ensure our contact
details can be found online in an instant,” he says.
The company’s
http://all-united.tel
mobile friendly website contains all the company’s essential contact
information plus click-to-visit links to its Facebook page and Twitter
feed.
“This is a competitive market and at the end of the day brand
awareness is all. We want to be the first company that comes to mind
when someone needs a taxi – then all they have to do is find our number
online and place that call. We’ll do the rest.”

Located near Central Manchester University Hospital, All-United Cars
offers discounted fares for NHS staff and students and promotes this and
other offers via its social media links. It also regularly prompts
people about key upcoming dates in the diary and the benefits of booking
ahead of the crowds.
“We’ve run campaigns to encourage people to pre-book their transport
in preparation for Mothering Sunday and the city’s St. Patrick’s Day
Celebrations,” explains Harry. “We’ve also put out messages on big event
days to remind people that even if they are out of minutes on their
mobile phone, they can still Skype our booking line direct when they’re
ready to go home.”
“In this day and age when all your customers have a smartphone, you’ve got to have a
mobile friendly website that ensures anyone can find your number and make that call.”
