With a premium membership I'm getting a good amount of leads. However I'm wondering why it takes 10 to 12 business days to get a deposit check received?
I have been using "gig salad" for 2 seasons and have recommended this web page to several colleges. I have been very pleased with the service provided.
Hi Art, thank you for recommending us to your friends! We're so happy to hear you love the service.
I been with gigsalad for about 6 years, and I have advertise with other business but as far as Im concern gigsalad is the best. Thank you for your good services. P. S thank you Megan and staff.
Aww, thanks, Arthur! We love having you on our site!
Over the years I have received many gigs from GigSalad. My clients have appreciated the streamlined way that GigSalad accepts payments and organises the gig details. I recommend this company.
We love hearing this, Sean! Thank you so much for sharing and we're happy to know that your clients love the platform, too.
GigSalad is a great way to connect my musical services for clients to hire me for their events.The longer I stay with them the more gigs i get hired for. I believe great reviews bring more gigs!
Hi Jim, you're right! Great reviews are important and we're happy to hear that our platform is working for you!
After scheduling our first gig through this horrible company, the customer refused to provide important details, such as confirming the location of their event & wardrobe, both of which we obviously needed to be their artist model. We contacted the customer prior to their event a MINIMUM of 5 times by text, voice mail, and email and got NO response. At that point, we had no idea if the event was cancelled or if the customer had moved, died, or whatnot. In fact, if gig salad had looked at our last correspondence to the customer through their OWN email notification system, they would have been well aware of what was going on and that we had tried many times to contact the customer. If gig salad had done so, they would have known we had done everything in our power to move forward with our booking. After the date of the event passed and we saw our 1-star review on their site, it was easy to figure out what happened. For whatever reason, the customer found a replacement for us, which is fine, but in order to justify getting their nonrefundable deposit back through gig salad, they chose not to reply to us so that it would look like we failed to appear at their eventbut they had basically forced us not to show up. Then they gave us the poor review to justify their actions to gig salad. Its unfortunate that people will stoop to such a scheme for their own personal gain at the expense of others, but outrageous that gig salad was complicit in it. Beware!

Answer: Hi Mark, We have only been reviewed a few times on this site, and most seem to be by disgruntled users. Those 20 reviews are no way the reflective voice of our over 2 million users. You can see a much more well-rounded view of our company by visiting Trustpilot.com. We'd encourage you to read our responses to the low reviews, too, so that you get the whole story. To answer your question about fees, we take 2.5% from bookings for our paid members, and 5% from bookings for our free members.

Answer: Hi Hidetoshi, thank you for the question! Unfortunately, you cannot transfer reviews from other platforms. However, you can request reviews from past clients - even those who didn't book you on GigSalad. Just click on the Reviews tab in your Dashboard, then Request Reviews. They won't be verified, but it's a good start for your profile until you get some bookings. Please reach out to help@gigsalad.com with any other questions in the future.

Hi Richard, thanks for your feedback! We're glad you're getting some great leads. Regarding your question, payment by check is the slowest method because the checks must be processed, printed, then mailed by hand (and unfortunately we cannot control the speed of the post office). However, we do offer direct deposit payments which only take 1-2 business days or PayPal payments which take 3-4 business days. Please contact our Customer Happiness Team for help switching your payout method: help@gigsalad.com or 417-889-9909. Thanks, Richard!
