Donate Easily Host Online Silent Auction Sites

• Giving and donating has never been easier than
  what it is today. Hosting silent auctions has
  become more of a rule than an exception, mainly
  because of the many conveniences attached to it.
  When you want to open doors to bidders and raise
  money for a cause that is close to your heart,
  the way to go is through online silent auction
  sites.

• You can reach out to bidders near and far, and
  new and existing donors at any part of the globe.
  What used to be a clumsy process before -
  attending real-time auctions or handling reams of
  paperwork is today done with a few clicks on
  the omnipresent smartphone while on the go.
  Neither you as a host or the bidders are
  restricted by geographical locations or time
  restrictions.

• It is estimated that because of increased reach
  and participation, online silent auction sites
  raise an average of 30 more funds through mobile
  bidding than any other channel. The conveniences
  are more too. When donors bid directly from their
  mobile devices, they instantly receive text
  notifications of the outbid that take them back
  to the items to bid again.
• How do online silent auction sites function?
• With online silent auction sites, you can raise
  more than traditional auctions and reach out to
  more people than usual.

• The benefits from these sites are many.
•         Mobile bidding When you host a silent
  auction online, the bidders and other people are
  not required to be physically present, whether it
  is to inspect the items, bid for them, and buy
  what they have successfully bid for.
  Participation at the auctions is high too as
  people do not have to be at crowded places and
  can comfortably take part in the bidding from
  wherever they are.
•         Procuring the items Online silent
  auction sites are involved in every stage of
  planning through a highly optimized dashboard
  that manages the whole process. Direct donors
  have to submit photographs of their item images
  and descriptions to the site. The donations that
  flow in are managed smoothly through the
  procurement status field which makes for seamless
  tracking and creation of the auction items.

• Generating auction catalog Online silent auction
  sites automatically generate item sheets for the
  event containing all the vital information
  necessary for the auction. These include
  instructions to manage your auction items,
  images, packages, relevant tax information, and
  all bidding activity within the auction catalog.
•         Insights of the bidding in real-time
  The highpoint of online silent auction sites is
  their highly effective admin dashboard. It
  continually monitors the performance of the event
  to look at the financials at any point during the
  auction. Once the auction is over, you get an
  overview of the specific breakdowns of the
  revenue generation of the event.

In this fast-paced Internet-driven

great way to raise funds for charity.
