Perfect auction site!

This was our first online auction and we had no idea whether it would be a success. We were pleased with how easy it was to share the link with our audience and how easy it was for them to use it. We will definitely use it again.

PROS

It was extremely easy to use from setting up the auction items to the registration. We didn't receive a single query about registering or bidding. The reports were also very helpful in managing our auction. We will definitely use it again.

CONS

We had some videos about our items that we would have liked to be able to embed in the descriptions but that wasn't possible. It would also have been nice to be able to label the photos to explain what they were.

Reason for choosing WinningBidder.com

It fit all of our needs and the pricing structure was perfect for a non-profit.

It's not bad

PROS

Easy to use. Inexpensive auction platform.

CONS

Sending invoices to "Buy it Now" winners BEFORE your auction closes doesn't work. The platform WON'T send invoices until the overall auction ends. We SHOULD be able to send a "Buy it Now" winner an invoice BEFORE the overall auction closes.

Reasons for switching to WinningBidder.com

Because 32 Auctions cost us a small FORTUNE and we have the convenience of being able to include Travel Pledge packages right from this platform without having to re-enter everything.

Folds of Honor at Stoney Point

Once we straighten out the problem of establishing the account and having Travel Pledge to verify my checking account, no problems. They need to make it easier to set up the account.

PROS

Easy to place bids. Easy to add or subtract items.

CONS

Very difficult to set up the account. I was originally told that the account was set up and I had starting the LIVE AUCTION only to find that my authorization and account set up had not been approved and was not set up. Had to get my daughter (I am terrible with computers) to straighten everything out. Took more than 8 hours and several phone calls to resolve this problem/

Silent Auction Success

Excellent

PROS

I work for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and used TravellPledge to put on a silent auction. First, this product being free for Non-Profits was huge, I was trying to raise money to send coaches and athletes to camp and this product made that possible. The software was so easy to use and had so many aids to help. They partner with some pretty impressive companies that donate for auctions so that you can use them as you try to raise money. Most of these I would have had no chance at procuring but TravelPledge made it easy to use these and helped in reaching my goals. Also there were some questions I had and their team answered so quickly and helped me make sure the experience was awesome.

CONS

I wish there was a way to customize it a little more, maybe just change the background color and make it more appealing visually.

Reason for choosing WinningBidder.com

Being free to Non-Profit and the ease of use.

A great option for nonprofits!

This software is super user friendly while offering features that would cost additionally elsewhere. It streamlines the entire auction process

PROS

The ease of use, as well as the trip options. Not having a middle man involved for the trips and items Travel Pledge offers compared to other auction software saves time and stress!

CONS

After using this software twice now, I truly can't think of any cons

Winning with WinningBidder.com

As a not for profit organization, we were trying to raise funds outside of our organization and offer products to the public for bid. WinningBidder.com did just that and a very affordable cost. Will recommend to other organizations and will continue to use.

PROS

Easy set-up and continuous monitoring of bidding process. Trustworthy Check- out & payment process for winning bidder.

CONS

First time user is impressed

Very positive; this was just the app we needed to fill a niche need, and I'm glad it'll be in our toolbox going forward. I could see it integrating with other fundraising efforts for our non-profit in the future.

PROS

It's very easy to set up and manage.The fee schedule is great.It ties into Stripe, which we use.

CONS

Don't have anything to say yet, as this is our first time using it. But I suspect we'll use it again.

Top Shelf Auction Platform

Overall, a fantastic experience with WinningBidder who will now be one of our main platforms for fund raising.

PROS

We've worked in the charity auction space for almost six years across many platforms and TravelPledge is definitely among the top. Its easy to use, understand and process campaigns on. Among the more important benefits to non-profits is the low commission as we are allowed to raise nearly 15 % more of the funds our auctions garner.

CONS

The only room for improvement as far as I can tell is; It would be great to have more custom graphics on the auction page to make each campaign look unique and great. To be able to run auctions while simultaneously hosting live auctions withthe Travel Pledge packages.

Reason for choosing WinningBidder.com

We use all three platforms, depending on the auction items we are able to procure.

Great Fundraising Option for Non-Profits

Great! I highly recommend Travel Pledge for an easy fundraising option.

PROS

I LOVED that there was no upfront costs. The only costs were for Credit Card Processing fees. There were lots of options to choose for the auction. The program was easy to use, and customer service was readily available.

CONS

I was not notified via email of the activity. I had to log in to find out if there were any bids.

Great TravelPledge experience!

TravelPledge made it easy to provide great experiences that we don't have to track and follow up with. Once the user pays for the experience, it's all taken out of my hands and the customer must book their experience through TravelPledge. It gives them all the details they need including the timeframe they need to use it by. Also, the fact that it is transferable makes it very convenient. Things come up in life and this allows more flexibility and less risk for the customer.

PROS

It was easy to use and provided great experiential options for our silent auction.

CONS

After my event, I could not tell how much of the profit my organization will keep. I remember it saying something along the lines of 40% but now that the event is closed, I cannot find that info anywhere. Will only know how much we kept based on what's deposited in our account.

Easy to Use Auction Platform

PROS

TravelPledge software is the most accessible auction platform I have used, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for help in running and managing your auction. I loved the "popcorn bidding" function at the end that helped to push live bidding, adding significant funds to the dollars we raised. I also loved the ease at which the winning bidders were billed and then sent the appropriate certificates without any involvement needed from me!

CONS

The biggest issue was many of the winning bidder's certificates ended up in the "junk mail" file. Nothing can be done on the TravelPledge side, but created a lot of follow-ups and "reissue" of certificates that were previously sent.

Great for first time Silent Auctions

Overall, It helped us solve the issue of not getting enough silent auction donations. We were looking for some big ticket items to draw attention and TravelPledge did that, and provided an auction platform all rolled into one.

PROS

This made creating a silent auction really easy. This was our first silent auction event, and while it didn't quite go as we had hoped, it was easy, intuitive and provided a lot of great items for guests to view and select from.

CONS

The closing time was disappointing as we had set a 9:40 time and it closed at 9:40. We had guests that wanted to submit some last minute bids and they were not able to.

Very happy with TravelPledge!

The customer service was very responsive and the software was easy to use. I would like to thank TravelPledge for making our online auction very successful.

PROS

TravelPledge was very easy to use. When I had questions, their team messaged me right away via the online chat. They were very helpful and kind.

CONS

I wish our small non profit was not limited on the number of TravelPledge auction items to list with our own auction items. Many of TravelPledge items were purchased, which helped our non profit raise much needed money to fund our program.
