Weddings & Events Articles

RSVP & ServiceSeeking.com.au

You may not want to date your plumber (butt cleavage is not for everyone), but RSVP and ServiceSeeking.com.au have more in common than you may think. 


If it’s okay with Apple, it’s okay with us

Apple’s Siri bug was fixed before we knew it; while bugs on our site only drive us to flourish.  


Another builder goes bust

I’ve experienced firsthand the chaos caused when a builder goes bankrupt. So if you’re embarking on home improvements, please protect yourself!


Record savings on ServiceSeeking.com.au

James saved $100,000 by using ServiceSeeking.com.au – yes, that’s right $100,000 big ones!


Supporting (tasty) local businesses

When we discovered that new local eatery Food Society used ServiceSeeking.com.au to source tradies for its fit out, a “site inspection” (read: fancy dinner out) was in order.


Is unaffordable housing killing creativity?

Housing in Australia is expensive – there’s nothing new about that. But lately I’ve started wondering how exy house prices affect renovation activity.


Time is more valuable than money

Organising jobs around your home or business can be hectic, so much so that we're hearing from customers (specifically our Facebook fans) that saving time is more important than saving money.   


What’s the going rate?

The retail sector has RRPs (recommended retail prices) but there’s nothing like that for the service industry. So how do you know if you’re paying a fair price for your plumber or electrician?


The waiting game

I hate waiting around for tradies even more than I hate the anxious wait for my online shopping purchases. Australia Post has solved one of my predicaments; I was hoping to come up with the solution for the other...


Silence gets you nowhere

Whether you’re looking to win a date or some work, there are two things you MUST do – communicate and get personal.


Stay safe and warm this winter

I know this sounds like a somber community service annoucement...and it is. It's nice to keep yourself warm in cooler weather, but remember heaters are a major cause of house fires. So be safe about it!


Why we don't sweat the copycats

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, or so we’re all told. But no one really likes copycats – especially in business. Find out then why we're not fussed.


Out of office at the home show

The Sydney HIA Home Show was same, same and not much different. I think it’s time for a revamp!


New site features for businesses

Check out some of the big changes we've made on the site recently - and what's coming up:


More jobs for tradies

Have we sent you more building leads lately? Unfortunately we can’t take all the credit…construction is booming and we're taking you along for the ride!


The triumph of the bogan tradie

Blue-collar workers and bogans are one and the same, at least writer David Penberthy thinks so. I don't agree. 


New business finds success on Service Seeking

Handyman Wayne Hicking shows businesses why being the new kid on the ServiceSeeking.com.au block isn’t so bad at all.


The dreaded carbon tax

Carbon tax is not just a dirty word (or words) in the electrical industry, it's got a bad rep in the building world too.


Feedback made easy

Whether you're looking for a romantic restaurant, luxury lodge or trusty tradie; reviews are absolutely invaluable. Which is why we've made it easier for you to leave feedback for businesses on our site.  


Some winners, but more losers

It's out with the old and in with the new - but debatably not better - First Home Owners Grant...this time it's double or nothing.


Go-getter, gets it

Tim Butler from Tim Butler Carpentry is an active member of our Service Seeking community. He's always one of the first people to comment on our Facebook page with insightful remarks about the building industry. Sounds like the type of guy you want to take advice from! Which is why we had a quick chat with him about his success on the site. 


We've got mail (lots of it!)

If you’ve checked out our Facebook page recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking we have some “cash for comment” scheme going on – the feedback is that good! But these comments don’t even compare to the loads of heart-warming emails we receive each day. 


Help us safeguard our marketplace

We don’t want dodgy businesses on our site, so if you have a bad experience with one – please let us know. 


Dream TV renovations now a reality?

Renovations can now be as easy as home reno shows will have you believe. I think we've revolutionised the renovation process, so it’s as fast and efficient in the real world as it is on the small screen - well almost!


Don’t promise the world, if you can’t deliver it

This is the mantra that has won Allan Bayad a stack of work through our site and has led him to put on two full time staff members.</p> &nbsp;
