Charity Online Auctions

Q: How long should I run my online auction for?

It’s best to run an auction for 7 – 10 days, this allows enough time for the auction to gather momentum but short enough for your database to stay engaged.

With the addition of a select few Superstars products, our Online Auction Service is completely free of charge!

HERES WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

"As a charity fundraiser I am always looking at new ideas. Auctions have always scared me but took the plunge and gave it a go. Thankfully I was recommended Superstars who were incredible from start to finish. Always so friendly, helpful and professional. The set up is brilliant, especially to smaller charities like ours that don't have much of a budget. There are no lay out costs or commission and they offer incredible Lots which you still gain from. At first I was sceptical and thought there must be some hidden costs somewhere but there really isn't. Our first auction was a great success making a wonderful amount of money for our charity. I cannot thank Superstars enough for everything they did and cannot wait to work with them again next year to make our auction even bigger and better."Beresford Street Kitchen

FAQ's

Our superstar’s online auction service is free of charge, on the basis you include a minimum of 10 items from our product catalogue.

From our experience it’s best to run an auction for 7 – 10 days, this allows enough time for the auction to gather momentum but short enough for your database to stay engaged. If you want to have an auction for an extended period of time then we can discuss the best method for this as a few options are available.

Online auctions are simple yet very effective. Working together we’ll generate the auction page and create a URL link, this link will then be sent to your entire database and we recommend to put it on social media too. The link will take guests directly to the auction where they easily register and begin bidding on items!

Yes! It’s very important to keep the competitive element of an auction alive, this is why we send emails out every time someone has been outbid on an item, giving them a choice to immediately bid again.

The entire auction page can be edited throughout its duration, even the auction end date. You might be lucky enough to get a few more donations whilst the auction is live, in which case they can be added and you can let your supporters know that there are new exciting items and to take a look!

The system is super easy to use, we’re able to give you a administration rights on your auction page allowing you to make any changes you want. This gives you complete flexibility to check the auction page whenever you have some free time.

There are a few options to this, if we collect payments on your behalf we would recommend our secure payment link. A congratulations email is sent to the winning bidders immediately once the auction has finished containing this link, this allows the bidder to pay using a debit or credit card. Alternatively, we’re able to invoice. Once the money has been collected we simply transfer it across to you. If you wish payments can be collected by yourself – whichever option works best for you!

The most important thing to remember when doing an online auction is that it needs to reach as many people as possible. The more people looking at the auction site the more likely it is that you’ll raise more. Frequent updates on your social media and direct emails to your database are vital, and remember to ask them all to send it to someone they think would be interested!
