The problem Ive had with party pop is that you are bidding against others who charge 1/5 what you normally do. If you come in at $125 then this is the service for you.

Scottyocean,
When you go shopping for shoes do you always buy the cheapest pair?

I just received a request for quote from "Thumbtack.com" about a party. I followed the link and made my quote. Then a page popped up saying I had to pay $2.99 to make a quote! I don't mind finder's fees but no way will I pay for the chance to quote a job. BTW They offed me a plan to quote all the jobs for 39.95 a month. NO WAY

That means up to 70% of consumers are not necessarily looking for the lowest price. They can be convinced / educated about value. Then it becomes less about how little the customer will spend, and more about how well the performer sells their show. Keep in mind, that the quality of your lead source also determines whether you end up with people in the 30%, or people in the 70%, or a mix of both. For a while, I knew that people who were responding to a phone book listing were likely in the 30%, but I still went through the process of trying to sell them. It's good practice for me, and there's a chance they might buy. As of early next year, I'll no longer be in the phone book. The cost of having a special line & listing in the book vs. the show bookings that were generated (ROI), was not enough to keep advertising in that way. - Donald

ROI....I think its hard to gauge this year Donald, it just did not make sense in a second half of year with fiscal cliff and all.

Gigmasters sent an email out saying that they processed $19 million in bookings, not too bad for a website lead generator. Although, I am attending an event trade show next year which the producers state that the event attendees that are made of talent buyers with a combined spinning of $10 billion for events.
I once met with a person who retired from the special events industry - his job was to produce 6 events a year for his company and his budget was $34 million. He also told me that he booked acts that were $100k and up. So, I don't think the theory where the cheapest always wins is correct. He shared many tips and ideas for me, which I took and applied to my new marketing concept/direction.

Got a gig lead today from Gig Masters. It was sent to 5 others. All but one jumped on it to compete for one gig. I remember last year at this time it did not seem to be many to be quick at the draw. Its either the economy or many more entertainers in the pool. I think its both, the pot is more diluted now as many are turning to entertainment to make money.

To their credit, they refunded my money upon request. That being said, I have found them to be useless. |

I've gotten several leads from "thumbtack" but it is always the same 2 names requesting....think they are just wanting me to give them money for a fake lead.....especially when my friends get the same one requesting them?!
