What is WinningBidder.com?
WinningBidder.com provides low cost online auction software specifically designed for fundraising activities. Our intuitive platform allows event organizers to set up an auction in just a few minutes, boasting a comprehensive suite of features. Bidders have access to options like maximum bidding, notifications for outbids, and an engaging "popcorn" bidding experience.
Instead of necessitating an app download, we offer a personalized auction link that supporters can use to view items and place bids from any device. This approach ensures fast operation, making it especially effective for events in locations with spotty internet connectivity, such as charity golf tournaments.
WinningBidder.com places no limits on the number of items, bidders, or events, positioning it as the perfect online auction solution for any fundraising needs all year long.
What is Bid Beacon?
Bid Beacon simplifies silent auction fundraising by bringing organizers and guests together on a cross-platform solution that works from any device. Supporters can join through desktop or the dedicated mobile app, making participation flexible and accessible. Organizers benefit from customizable branding, sponsor visibility, merchandise sales, and donation collection, along with the ability to run unlimited auctions with multiple administrators.
Advanced bidding options like proxy and max bidding, plus features for live item promotion, raffle integration, and fundraising goals, keep events engaging. Payments, receipts, and tax collection are all built in, ensuring every auction runs seamlessly from start to finish.
