What bidding style will work best for your event?

There are many factors that help us to answer this! After discussing your event in-depth, and using our experience, we will suggest which platform we believe would work best. Our team will also provide case studies for you to review so you are able to make an informed decision.

ELECTRONIC BIDDING

This interactive live bidding system adds a competitive edge to your event. Bids are placed on iPads found on each table, with bids displayed in real-time on leaderboard screens around the room.

PAPER SEALED BIDDING

A traditional style, we have modernised using unique bidding brochures for guests to bid in. It’s completely blind and encourages high bids.

It all begins with an initial discussion with our team to understand your fundraising target, previous experiences, and event specifications so we can propose the most suitable bidding style.

SELECT YOUR STYLE

We will provide you with a set of case studies from similar events and make a recommendation for the bidding style we believe is best for you.

GETTING READY

Once decided on a style, we’ll get to work generating your unique bidding brochure or custom-made electronic auction page. These can be ready for a date of your choice.

Electronic Bidding

If you have a competitive audience, this style of bidding will work perfectly for your event! The exhilarating feel of electronic bidding adds an exciting and contemporary edge to a silent auction, and in turn the event.

We use the latest technology, using iPads linked to screens around the room which display a live leaderboard to encourage bidding activity and competition. You can also choose to have QR codes placed on tables so that guests can use their smartphones to bid.

The fully customisable bidding platform also allows us to include any additional information you would like displayed on the iPads, such as your raffle, charity details, or event proceedings.

Paper Sealed Bidding

Often seen as the more traditional silent auction method, this style works for events of all sizes, particularly those expected to be jam-packed.

Our in-house Designers will create a bespoke bidding brochure which we will print ready for the event. These will be dispersed to guests and tables, where guests will simply submit their bids by writing in the brochure which is later collected by our onsite team.

The key benefit of a sealed bid auction is that it’s completely blind! This encourages guests to bid high with the idea they have to outbid other potential bids.

FAQ's

The benefit of a silent auction is that is all-encompassing, with the idea that everyone can get involved. You would have auction lots and price points to suit all of your audience, whereas in a live auction it may just target a few number of guests at your event.

This does really depend on the demographic of your event, so we suggest contacting one of our experts, who will be happy to guide you through the available options.
