What are the Bidding options?
There is a continuum of “event” bidding scenarios in the online environment, some examples are: A – Online catalog, with online pre-bidding or absentee bidding, with bidding concluding during live “gala” in the traditional manner. In this case the highest online bid becomes the starting bid on your bid sheets. B – Online-only bidding on selected or all silent auction items, bidding on these items concludes online typically prior to gala but may continue post-gala as well. C – All silent auction bidding is conducted via computer terminals and/or hand held devices (our exclusive program) at gala; bidding concludes at gala; non-attendees may be invited to bid as full participants. Proxy bidding (Smartbid,Autobid) and guarantee price bidding (BuyNow) are options for all bidding scenarios. Retail sales, Wishlists and Direct Donations, can all be managed by the BenefitEvents auction software. In addition, our infrastructure is continually available for your ongoing use.
