TaskRabbits!
By now, you know how to use your Fancy Hands assistants. They can accomplish anything for you that can be done from a computer or a phone, including:
- Making reservations
- Doing research
- Administrative support
- Travel research
- Placing phone calls
- Scheduling
Now our assistants can help you get things done beyond the computer and phone.
We’ve teamed up with TaskRabbit to easily connect you with people who can help you in person.
TaskRabbit is a website and mobile app for outsourcing errands and jobs to background-checked individuals in your community.
Here at the Fancy Hands HQ, for example, we needed coat hooks to be installed.
So we sent a Fancy Hands assistant this message:
Please find someone who can come today during our business hours and install six coat hooks in our wall. They should have their own drill and level and other needed tools.
The assistant replied:
Hello, the lowest TaskRabbit bidder for this job is Frank, a handyman with all of his own tools. He will do this job for $50 and he can be there in two hours. Does this work for you?
And voila, we got hooks!
When you use your Fancy Hands assistants to hire a TaskRabbit, you won’t have to create your own TaskRabbit account, and you won’t need to spend time posting your ad or viewing the various bids for your job.
We’ll take care of everything for you; just send your Fancy Hands assistant your request. Once a handful of bids have been placed on your job, your assistant will let you know what the lowest bid is and ask you to confirm the charge.
You’ll be billed to the credit card that you used to sign up for your Fancy Hands account through our secure servers – as always when you make a purchase through our system, no one will see your credit card number.
So relax! You can now say things like:
Please have someone pick up my alterations from Barney's and my dog from daycare and deliver them to me at my house.
Please get the oil changed in my Batmobile, fill it with gas, and return it to the garage.
Please send a makeup artist to my home to prepare me for my news conference.
Please book a housekeeper to come clean my home. It’s no castle, just a simple two bedroom.
