How to use it
Browse and Filter: Once you're in the directory, you'll see a list of contractors. On the left-hand side (or sometimes at the top), you'll notice some helpful filtering options.
Filter by Category (e.g., "Marketing", "Photography", "Web Design", "Event Management"). You can also filter by Location if you're looking for local support in your region.
Feeling specific? There might even be a search bar where you can type in keywords like "drone photography" or "social media manager".
Click on the filters that match what you need. The list will instantly update to show you only the relevant contractors.
View Contractor Profiles: Once you see a contractor that interests you, click on their name or their listing. This will open up their detailed profile.
Explore the Profile: Inside each contractor's profile, you'll typically find:
A brief introduction about their business and their specialities.
A list of services they offer.
Examples of their work or a link to their portfolio.
Their contact information (email, phone, website).
Sometimes, even testimonials from other tourism businesses they've helped!
Connect with Confidence: Take your time to review a few profiles. When you find a contractor you'd like to learn more about, use the contact details provided to reach out to them directly. We encourage you to describe your project clearly so they can understand your needs and provide the best possible response.
Tips
Know Your Needs First: Before you dive in, take a moment to think about what you truly need. What problem are you trying to solve? What outcome are you hoping for? Having a clear idea will help you use the filters effectively and articulate your project when you reach out to a contractor.
Be Specific with Filters: Don't be afraid to use all the filtering options available! The more specific you are (e.g., "Photographer" AND "Coastal region"), the more tailored your results will be.
Review Multiple Profiles: Don't pick the first contractor you see. Take some time to browse a few profiles that seem like a good fit. Compare their services, experience, and the examples of their work.
Prepare Your Initial Enquiry: When you contact a contractor, be clear and concise. Briefly explain your business, what you're looking for help with, and any key dates or budget considerations you might have. This helps them understand your needs and respond more effectively.
Consider a Chat: A quick phone call or video chat can be incredibly helpful. It allows you to get a feel for their communication style and if they're a good cultural fit for your business.
Think Long-Term: While you might have an immediate need, consider if this contractor could be a valuable partner for future projects too. Building good relationships with reliable professionals is always a smart move.
Bookmark Your Favourites (Browser): If there isn't an in-platform 'favourite' feature, you can always use your web browser's bookmark function to save profiles you're interested in.
