Hi

 

Anyone had any long term experience with bark.com? I read a couple of threads from 2015. I've just starting getting emails from them this week. I hadn't signed up to the website. Jobs where basically anything to do with gardens but I changed the settings to only tree work. You pay to receive potential customer's contact details, but I must have got a few free credits, so I got to quote for free and have got a days work booked from it. However, now I have to buy credits to 'see' customers details so I can arrange a quote. Ranges from £3-£5 per customer, but you buy a pack of credits at about £30.

Also interested in this, nearly wrote the same post as you as I've started getting emails too. I reckon they've got data from Facebook as I don't even have a proper website. Like you I'm following the free credits to see what happens.

Compared to using something like Checkatrade it is much more attractive to me as you get a reasonable description of each lead before you pay anything. Also the rate it generates leads is controllable so it's kind of ideal marketing/advertising spend compared to chucking out wedge of cash and hoping.

In the long term I guess it depends how many people want to use bark to get work done and that's difficult to second guess.
