Quality Leads!
December 11, 2019

Yes I love Gigsalad! I always get quality leads, which equate to more bookings!
Also everything is set up so professionally that the client doesn't hesitate to pay the total booking fee in advance.
Not to mention, percentage wise, the service fee deducted from our gigs is very reasonable.
I am a very satisfied member. "Uptown Saxman"

When advertising as a paid pro, leads were adequate. Now I have a free listing, things are nonexistent.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out! As competition grows on our site, our free members may find it tougher to get the leads they used to. Currently, our Featured members get 25x the leads of Free ones. Please reach out to us at [email protected] for a free profile analysis to see what you can do to make the most of your membership.

I have been promoting myself with businesses, business associates and handing out business cards at every chance, 95% of all my performances as Santa are found by people who reached out to GigSalad. Came highly recommended by other fellow Santas, now I know why. Full Throttle Thumbs Up

Gig Salad is a great way to find new clients that often you never would have acquired any other way. There are fees involved but that is just part of doing business. Gig Salad has a great easy to use platform and I recommend them if you are looking to grow your business.

I am a professional country singer and have performed in the southeast MO area for over 7 years. GigSalad has been a positive experience for me overall, I have worked with them -primarily using the Featured Membership- for over 3 years now, and have been pleased. I get a lot of leads, and I have booked thousands of dollars worth of work through the site.

A fellow professional Santa suggested that I check out GigSalad as a way to promote my professional Santa Claus business. I thought I'd take a look and I'm glad I signed up! I have gotten many more leads than I thought possible and it has now become my primary source for getting my Santa gigs.

I have acquired several repeat customers as a result of initial contacts coming from GigSalad searches. I am going to move into their upgraded service at the end of my season; my trial with them shows value for money, proven results and no hassles. Gotta' like it when a service 'walks the talk'.

Gigsalad is a wonderful connection for musicians and artist in general. In today's world of advanced technology, Gigsalad is an online billboard, providing a space where one's skills can be viewed in order to meet a potential customer's needs. Their fees are fair and they do what they say they are going to do. Thanks Gigsalad team, you are the best!

The jobs I have booked through GigSalad have all been great. I like GigSalad because you can set your own rate, and negotiate before sending a quote. You're really working for yourself. What people need to remember is GigSalad is a PLATFORM, they are not the event police, and there is a certain amount of risk involved always when you have to rely on people. My suggestion for anyone using GigSalad, whether you are hiring or being hired is, make sure to have a phone conversation/interview with the other party and verbally agree to all the details. If you book someone months in advance, make sure you are following up leading up to the event. If you are totally professional on both sides, events can turn out great. Just remember that you are dealing with PEOPLE, and the rest isn't GigSalad's fault.

Been in the entertainment business for 40 years. Payment is due on the day, not one to two business days as you have suggested. Also thought we chose the free part to gig salad. Why is $ been taken from our quote. Please respond. Thank you.

Hi Terry, thanks for your question! As a Free member with us, you're not paying a membership fee to get leads and bookings with us. So yes, we do have a 5% booking fee on each booked gig. We feel this is a fair fee and hope you do, too! If you prefer to get paid the day of the gig, you can take advantage of our "Marked as Booked" feature and handle the payment yourself. Please call us at 417-889-9909 or email us at [email protected] if you'd like more information on how that works. Thank you!

I love Gig Salad!
November 12, 2019

I have used Gig Salad for four years as a Santa. I use them exclusively. Their service is comprehensive, professional and overall excellent. I have over 50 bookings this season even though I am the highest priced Santa in our market. Every time I call them they answer on the second ring and have a answer immediately. Their fee collection and payment is excellent.
