When you submit a request, we'll notify all the local suppliers who offer your service and are available on the date of your event - so they can decide if they're available to quote.
To receive top quality matches, you can also choose to invite specific suppliers to quote. This is a great way of maximising you chances of getting quotes from suppliers you like the look of.
How to invite suppliers
Login to your Add to Event account
Open the main menu and select My Requests
Find the active request that you'd like to edit and press View Request
Click on the Suggested tab
You should see a list of suppliers to invite.
5. To invite a supplier, simply click on the "Invite to Quote" button:
If you are not interested in a particular supplier, click on the X
6. Your invites will be sent to the supplier immediately so they can respond to you with a custom quote.
What does a supplier see when I invite them?
When a supplier sees your invite, they know you've viewed their profile so this gives them an extra nudge that they're the right fit!
A supplier will be notified that you have invited them immediately and they can either:
Decline the invite if they're busy (this will notify you)
Send you a quote
If you receive a quote from an invited supplier, we strongly recommend responding to them to let them know where you are at - for example, if you'd like to go ahead, you're still considering options or you've chosen someone else.
Suppliers will block out the date in their calendar after quoting on a request or an invite, so let them know your decision as soon as you can!
