Benefits of adding an online auction to your event!

When you host your online auction with Get A Bid Auctions, we create a custom branded online auction website which can be used to obtain auction items and cash donations.

When you add an online auction to your live event, you can advertise the event, honor your sponsors, and take absentee bids weeks before your gala – thus increasing awareness of your organization and raising more money! Most bidders consider their online auction purchases outside their usual yearly giving.

Online fundraising auctions benefit charities, bidders, and sponsors:
• Nonprofits/Charities benefit because they reach a broader audience, raising more money and awareness for your cause.
• Bidders benefit by being able to bid and purchase items at their convenience while, at the same time, supporting their favorite causes. The online auction connects them to your auction even if they cannot attend your party!
• Sponsors benefit by advertising on your site. An online auction generates a lot of traffic to the website and companies benefit from the positive online exposure.

Convert your online auction to a mobile bidding or paper silent auction. We customize the event bidding experience to your preference! The online auction transfers to Mobile Bidding seamlessly.

Guests who place bids online before the event continue bidding via their smartphone at the event. If you prefer a silent auction using paper bid sheets, our technology can easily generate bid sheets.

Save time & paper with Mobile Bidding at your next Gala Event

Save time & paper with Get A Bid Auctions’ Mobile Bidding at your next Gala Event

Mobile Bidding adds more fun and excitement and raises more money at your live event. It is a portable fundraiser for a gala celebration, school event, or golf tournament—any function where people are gathered. Your guests connect to your auction site, either a website appearance or a mobile appearance online, with no apps to download or install. Both appearances connect to the same auction items and lead to easy bidding!

Your bidders already use their smartphones for everything from checking emails to texting family and friends to finding a restaurant. Why not make it easy for them to use their smartphones or tablets to bid on auction items? Mobile bidding lets your guests enjoy both the silent auction and the party.

Mobile bidding encourages more bidding

Get A Bid Auctions has the technology to keep bidders in the action! Here are a few of its features:

Alert by text– Bidders receive a text message when they are outbid. This instant alert makes it convenient for them to bid again from wherever they are – while mingling with friends and gala guests, enjoying dinner, or on the golf course. They don’t have to interrupt their fun to check on their bid status.
Auto bid– Bidders can set a maximum bid for a particular item and, if outbid, the system will place an “auto bid” for them up to their established amount. An instant text alert lets the guest know if the item bid activity exceeds their maximum amount and they are outbid. They can place another bid at that time.
Watch list– Want to keep an eye on an item before making a bid? Add it to the watch list! The watch list allows guests to collect links to items in their account for quick reference to the item’s current high bid. When the guests are ready to place a bid, it’s right there at their fingertips.
Online Bidding– The internet connects us all. Some supporters may not be able to attend your event but they want to bid on your items. Our system allows them to register for a bid number and compete for items online, even if they are absent from the event. They’ll miss the fun of your party but they can still contribute to your cause!
