Today, Redbeacon and BigTent are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership that will help members of BigTent groups find competitive offers from service professionals such as painters, plumbers, and more.
“Online communities, such as parents groups powered by BigTent, are a natural place to turn in the search for high quality local service professionals, which is what makes this such a powerful partnership” said Ethan Anderson, Cofounder of Redbeacon.
Integrating RedBeacon’s service with BigTent has allowed us to expand our Reviews and Classifieds offerings. Currently, group members can reach out to each other to buy, sell, or solicit advice on products and services. Redbeacon expands this network — simply list the service you’re looking for, and the RedBeacon engine will collect bids from relevant professionals in the area. In addition, you’ll be able to see if a service provider has been endorsed by another member in your group.
The BigTent system even understands when you post about a requested service in Forums, which is often the first place people turn to when contacting their groups. Just look for a pop up box that prompts you to go through RedBeacon.
For the time being, RedBeacon services are in limited release on BigTent and will be available to approximately 100 groups in the Bay Area.
