Getting things done with BidVine

Getting things done is awesome. More accurately, being done and enjoying the outcome is the real reward of dealing with the smallest fix to the largest project. The problem is that finding someone to help you get there has remained a hassle. Wasn’t technology supposed to help with things like that? Is pretty much what I think about the discovery of apps on my iPhone, iPad or even laptop most days and that too is the ethos of BidVine.

Bidvine is designed to help you get things done by finding competitive quotes for jobs you need doing, whether that is hiring a domestic cleaner, a handy man, wedding hair and makeup and even someone to take some professional photos for you. What I love is that it can all be done via an app or via your computer, depending on your preference and it is a simple case of Request, review and Hire in easy to follow steps.

Getting things done with BidVine
The website is so user friendly and easy to use with everything you need right in front of you. Facing you straightaway on the homepage is a search box asking you what it is you would like help with, so I opted for portrait photography, I have hardly any decent photos of the mister and I together, not even on our wedding day, so it is something I would like. So having typed in my request and postcode, a list of options come up for you choose from what type of portrait you need, where will it be taken, type of image you are looking for, how you would like the images displayed, your budget and the delivery of the service. All of which are simple tick box exercises. 

Once the form was completed, I was sent an email letting me know that there are limited photographers in my area that could meet my needs but that on my behalf they would still hustle to get me a quote from at least one qualified professional.  So already within minutes I have someone bidding on my behalf, doing the leg work and promising to keep me up to date with what was happening and that by Tuesday morning I would hopefully have something or someone to work with.  The end result was that I not only had one quote but three different ones ranging in price from just slightly higher from my lower budget £75 to the top of my budget £200.  When the quotes come in you get to then view each company's portfolio, qualification and references, read reviews from other customers and then you can either call them directly or continue to use BidVine to send your messages.

The best part about BidVine is that it costs you the customer absolutely nothing to use the service and the team at the company review every service provider's profile before it can go live but of course it is always sensible to do your own research before settling on the company you choose, this is where reviews from other people come in handy.

I am really impressed with BidVine, I love how easy it is to use whether you have limited internet experience or know your way around pretty well.  It is easy to follow, the questions are relevant to the job you need doing and it isn't intrusive and your inbox isn't filled with spam messages within seconds.  Great service and definitely one to add to the favourites back for those pesky jobs!

    This is a great idea and so much easier than trawling through lots of tradespeople to do the work only to be told they don't do the work/cover your area etc.
