Tips for exchanging services on The RedSaw
- When posting an ad, try to be as specific as possible with the services you are seeking and offering.
- If you’re seeking or offering more than one service, post multiple ads for clarity purposes.
- Refrain from sitting on the sidelines, don’t wait to post an ad thinking that there are currently no matches listed. The ad you post could literally bring dozens out of the woodwork.
- Be active, by communicating with other members. We’re all here to benefit from one another. - Strength in numbers!
- At the discussion stage and where it is applicable, ask for references, and follow up with them.
- Once a service exchange agreement takes place, it is a good idea to put it into writing to avoid any misunderstandings.
- If the services being exchanged are not of equal value, perhaps the balance can be paid by future work, or with cash depending on the agreement made by the parties involved in the transaction. It will be the responsibility of the individuals and/or businesses exchanging services to determine the definition of equal value.
