San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) May 14, 2009 - The launch of Localbidder.com has brought some much needed relief to struggling vendors and thrifty homeowners in need of services. The first of its kind auction-style marketplace, geared for services ranging from moving to roofing, localbidder.com puts the transaction power back in the hands of the consumer. But vendors don’t seem to be complaining. For those weakened by this economy, localbidder.com is a welcome new source for potential customers in their area.

According to Localbidder CEO Daniel Flynn, there is no better time than now for localbidder.com. “Consumers are hurting right now, and vendors are looking for anything they can get. With localbidder, consumers can post their service needs, post their budget, post their timeframe, etc. Vendors have access to all this information, and from it they post bids to do the work. The consumer then chooses a winning bidder based on price and feedback. Essentially, the consumer is saying, here’s what I need – may the best bidder win.”
The company, founded by a former moving company employee, is slowly shifting the balance of power to the side of the consumer. Instead of shuffling through the yellow pages and searching the internet, consumers now only need to describe their needs one time before letting vendors compete for their business. According to first time localbidder.com user Laura Martin, it’s very empowering. “It’s nice to finally get the feeling that contractors aren’t doing me a favor by providing their service. I think this economy has woken some vendors up about the importance of customer satisfaction.”

Smaller, regional contractors are also getting in on the localbidder.com action. Since localbidder.com pits competing vendors against one another, the winner is typically the company with the lower prices and/or better reputation. According to plumber Tom Kreutzer, “Now that localbidder.com makes the competition based solely on price, quality, and reputation, smaller vendors with tighter advertising budgets are finding more and more success.”
