Free Webinar: An Introduction to Mobile Bidding in Nonprofit Auctions: What It Is, Whether It Works, and How to Best Leverage It

Since emerging on the scene about ten years ago, mobile bidding (also called electronic bidding) has been heavily marketed to benefit auction planners. Vendors promise to revolutionize your fundraising auction by eliminating silent auction bid sheets, streamlining checkout, and raising you more money.  Some vendors claim you’ll raise as much as 50% more.
 
Have the results met the hype? 
 
In this free 45-minute webinar, you’ll get practical “how-to” advice so you can make an informed decision as to whether you should consider using mobile bidding in your own nonprofit auction.  When an enthusiastic Board member shares that he “just saw this technology at another event, and you should use it, too” you’ll respond with an educated opinion. 

During this live nonprofit webinar you will learn:

• Which nonprofit auctions are best suited for using mobile bidding
• Theory vs reality: How the technology’s promoted features will really work (or not) in an auction environment
• How to change your event to better leverage the technology
• Realistic benefits to expect
• How to vet the vendors
