10 Benefits of Being a Bookings Africa Customer/Client
The future of work is digital, and Bookings Africa is right in the middle of connecting you with that future. With the exciting features on the Bookings Africa platform, customers and clients have a plethora of benefits to enjoy. If you are still on the fence wondering if joining the most extensive online African gig marketplace will be profitable or not, these benefits will convince you.
One of the things you need as an African freelancer is visibility. Whether you are a makeup artist, videographer or social media influencer, you need publicity to move ahead in your niche. Being on the Bookings Africa platform as a service provider is an advantage as you can get featured in our blog post, social media handles or newsletter. This is one benefit you will not find anywhere, and we do it without any charges. In our previous blog post, you can learn more about how to gain more visibility on Bookings Africa.
Being a freelancer comes with earning flexibility, which is the sweetest part of being a service provider on Bookings Africa. You can set your rates to as high as you want, which compensates for not being in the regular market to ask for a raise in salary. Even if you wish to raise your rate later, you would have gained a strong portfolio that gives your brand better earning power from various clients.
Another benefit of being a service provider on the Bookings Africa platform is access to various clients. You can get booked by other clients without having to send proposals or give any pitch. The only thing your client needs to see before booking is your strong portfolio. If you don’t know how to write a compelling portfolio that sells, read how to write a catchy bio (I plan to link an awaiting article here) and set up a standout profile.
The world of freelancing means you will take on several projects from different clients. Being a service provider on Bookings Africa allows you to expand your skill set as you will get booked from various clients around Africa. An excellent example of this is in our latest partnership with EbonyLife. We provided actors who didn’t only work with EbonyLife films but gained experience with the Netflix crew. This and many more are what you get, which is an advantage over traditional full-time work. Every project allows you to grow and be better at what you do.
Freelancers have the flexibility of being independent as they can choose their schedule, workload and deadlines. With the availability feature on Bookings Africa, you can decide when you want to be booked and when you want to take a vacation. With better work management, it will be easier to plan other things.
One of the solutions Bookings Africa provide is an easier connection to talents. Most people needing last-minute models, chefs, or other talents can log in to their account and book a service provider. With this benefit and ease of getting service providers, clients running a big project can better serve their business and expand in the process.
If you book a service provider on Bookings Africa, you are guaranteed to get what you ordered. Interestingly, all the service providers have gone through an approval process to be verified, so you don’t have to worry about not getting excellent service. Plus, the money you pay through escrow will only be sent to the service provider when the booking is completed. And if there are complaints, you will be duly attended to by our ever-available customer care support team.
Being a client on the Bookings Africa platform will help you create a better project plan. For instance, if you need to push a product out and need social media influencers, you can get as many influencers as you want on the platform. You can feature models from Bookings Africa and the photographers to capture the product. With all the right services in one place, your projects will be more organized, which is an advantage.
Clients in Kenya do not need to travel to Nigeria to book a service provider when Bookings Africa has made the process seamless. If you need to feature different freelancers across Africa, you can easily do that once you sign up as a client on the platform.
On the Bookings Africa platform, you have the flexibility of searching for talents, comparing prices and booking the best talents. If you search and the talent’s rate seems to be above your budget, you can easily go for another one that best fits your account plan.
If these benefits look like what you need for your business or brand, now is the time to sign up. Don’t waste any more time- join the future of work now!
