Imagine a fundraising auction where participants can bid using their smartphones instead of traditional paper bid sheets. Auction Frogs offers Mobile Bidding technology that allows event attendees to securely browse, bid, and even make payments for auction items directly from their mobile devices. This approach enhances bidder engagement by providing real-time updates and ensuring they have the best chance to win their desired items.
How Mobile Bidding Works
When your attendees arrive at the event and check-in, they will receive a text message containing a link to the mobile bidding site and their secure bid number and pin. No app to download. Once they get logged in, your guests can see your catalogue and place bids directly from their phones. They can set auto-bids, custom bids, or standard bids. They even get notified when they are outbid so they don’t miss the chance to bid up.
The Advantages of Mobile Bidding
More Bidding Access: You can share your mobile bidding auction items with more than just your event guests. Supporters that are not able to attend can get in on the fun from their phone. They can register themselves! All they need is a link to your mobile bidding login page. Share your page link with your whole community. You can also open mobile bidding prior to the night of your event. Some even keep it open after the event ends. The sky is the limit!
Guests Stay Seated: Keep your guests in their seats during critical parts of your program. Mobile Bidding offers supporters the convenience of bidding from their seats throughout the event. No need for attendees to race to the back of the room to place their bid before the auction closes.
No More Data Entry: Silent auction items no longer need manual entry. When the auction closes, the items automatically land on the winner’s invoices. No need to keep a full team of data entry volunteers at the ready to collect, enter and distribute silent auction bid sheets.
Self-Checkout: Guests can view and verify their invoices and pay from their phones at the end of the night. This simplifies the often lengthy and stressful pickup and payment process you may have encountered at other events. As a result, your bidders leave the event satisfied, having efficiently and easily supported your cause.
Mobile Bidding is a true win-win solution for both your organization and your attendees. It is sure to elevate your fundraising efforts and create a more enjoyable and engaging auction experience. It’s time to maximize your fundraising potential!
