LullBid is the nationwide marketplace where salons, restaurants, contractors, and service businesses put their slow days, open slots, and surplus inventory up for bid — and customers win real discounts.
Salons & Spas · Columbus, OH · 9 bids
A business posts what it has going spare. Customers bid what they're willing to pay. Whoever's calendar was empty, isn't anymore.
Post a service slot, surplus inventory, or excess capacity for the date or window you'd otherwise sit idle.
Choose a starting discount, minimum acceptable bid, and how long bidding stays open.
Customers in your category and area submit offers. You see every bid as it lands.
Pick the winner. LullBid takes 10% of the winning bid only when you win business — nothing upfront, ever.
Browse open lots by industry, city, or date — from a haircut to a kitchen remodel slot.
Offer the discount rate or price you want. Raise it any time before the lot closes.
The business picks the winning bid before the deadline. You'll know right away.
Pay your winning bid plus a flat $199 LullBid fee. That's it — your booking is confirmed.
If demand ever dips — a Tuesday, a shoulder season, a half-empty inventory shelf — there's a category here for it.

Businesses never pay to list. LullBid only earns when a deal closes — and new businesses start on a lower fee while they build their track record.
Example: your listing wins at a $250 bid
Example: you win the same $250 bid
Businesses still under their new-business bid cap pay a lower tiered fee instead of the standard $199 — shown before every bid, on every listing.
Drag to any winning bid amount and see both sides instantly.
Standard listings work best where the discount comfortably clears the $199 fee — remodel and install slots, event catering, multi-visit packages. New-to-LullBid listings use the lower tiered fee above so smaller first-bookings, like a single salon visit or a small repair job, still pencil out for the customer.
Businesses only put real slack up for bid — not marked-up "sale" pricing.
No subscription, no browsing fee. The $199 platform fee only applies at checkout, on a winning bid.
Every business is reviewed before its first listing goes live.
From a Denver photographer to an Austin contractor — one marketplace, every metro.
Post unlimited slow-day slots, surplus inventory, or excess capacity at no cost.
LullBid's 10% fee applies to the winning bid only — never to browsing, listing, or losing bids.
Customers actively searching your category and city see your open lots.
List one slow Tuesday or every open slot you have — it's entirely up to you.
LullBid is a nationwide discount bidding marketplace built for businesses, contractors, and service providers with a slow day, an off-peak season, excess capacity, or surplus inventory to move. Instead of letting an empty Tuesday or an unsold slot go to waste, businesses list it for free and let real customer demand set the price through open bidding.
For customers, LullBid works like a local deals and discount bidding marketplace: search by industry — salons and spas, restaurants and catering, contractors and home services, auto detailing, fitness studios, photography and events, cleaning services, and more — pick a listing near you, and place a bid on the discount rate or price you're willing to pay. It's a smarter way to find off-peak service deals and slow-season discounts than waiting on a generic coupon.
Because LullBid operates in every state and metro area, it functions as a true nationwide service marketplace: a contractor in Austin, a salon in Columbus, and a caterer in Charlotte can all list their slow-day capacity side by side, and customers anywhere in the country can search local contractor discounts, restaurant slow-day deals, and surplus inventory listings in one place.
