FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CityBidz Launches
Strategy to Help Local Consumers Find Service Professionals at Unbeatable Prices
AUSTIN,
Texas (July 15, 2011) –
CEO Jason Bonham announced today the launch of CityBidz.com, an online strategy to assist consumers in their search for high-quality service professionals at reasonable
prices. “As a homeowner and remodeler I used numerous other methods to
find service professionals. Other tools were too cumbersome to be
effective or just left me dissatisfied,” said Bonham. “That’s why I
created CityBidz. CityBidz.com literally shifts the paradigm on the way
we do business and has already proven itself to work.”
CityBidz.com is a free and easy-to-use online service that enables consumers to find professionals in their region. By filling out a project
request form, the system allows individuals to simultaneously reach dozens of
qualified service professionals who then bid on the project, allowing the
consumer to choose the best professional for their needs.
“I am proud to announce the internet’s best way to find a service professional in
your area. Complete our free and easy to use project request form and let
the bids come to you,” said Bonham.
COO Jim O’Quinn concurred, “I think visitors will be pleased with the usability of the site. We’ve incorporated all the things that people need when searching for a service provider and evaluating bids.”
What distinguishes City Bidz’s service professionals?
All service professionals are required to complete a Service Professional’s Profile Page that includes in-depth information about their expertise along with ratings and reviews from previous customers. Since consumers can include photos and other detailed information with their requests, CityBidz professionals know before they go. This helps professionals save travel time and money (from giving “free quotes”), enabling them to pass these savings onto the consumer.
The idea for CityBidz came after years of home remodeling and constant searches for services at reasonable prices. Jason Bonham states, “The problem is service professionals would come to my home and bid what they thought I would pay versus what the job would
cost. Once they drove all the way to my house to give me a quote, I felt guilty and obligated even if I didn’t want to give them the job. That’s when I realized that if I could directly send professionals the info, photos and/ or video online, it would save us both time and bad feelings! I can choose who I want without the guilt. It’s perfect!”
The goal of CityBidz is to create an unfiltered relationship between high-quality service professionals and their soon-to-be clients. Before accepting any bids consumers can view
the Service Professionals’ Profile page to find detailed information along with
ratings and reviews.
