Poll - Could an SOS section for punters looking for a booking work

[Pat]

When caught out with time and money on my hands I have tried to other platforms to find a last minute booking. Had limited success but SWers have tried to help.

Sometimes it’s my piss poor planning others times cancellations.

Would a section in here where a client could say that they were looking for x,y,z, location, budget range and a timeframe be useful for punters and/or SWers.

Do realise there are a few fish hooks with this idea.

My best advice would be to use the “Available now” search filter on NZG. It automatically deactivates after an hour so most workers will be waiting for a booking if it’s activated.

However, something that I think NZG should get on is an option for “Available today”. Where we can have “Available today: 2-4pm” showing on the homepage

Thanks. I was going to mention the available now tried to keep it short. Was exactly sure how it worked or how reliable so your explanation helpful.

Did use it once msg a few one at a time waited a bit before msg the next. Only response I got was a sorry, had I msg them first would had a booking.

At times independents for outcall available now is low and unknown. From what I can gather some don’t always have ads up even if available.

Just lazy plus think the advertising sites are shit for one of the more expensive online purchases I make. I haven’t booked straight from a site yet. Only really use advertising sites to check rates and services, expensive lesson learnt not checking.
