It’s never too soon to get started on silent auction planning for your next fundraising event. In decades of helping nonprofit organizations host fundraising events, we’ve collected data and best practices that can help you take your silent auction planning to the next level. Make your job easier and minimize your stress with Qtego’s helpful tools, technology, and insights.
One Easy Dashboard: As soon as you know you’re hosting an event you can start your silent auction planning. Qtego’s dashboard makes it easy to keep track of everything. Set your date, work on your theme, set up ticketing, do table assignments and—this is critical—start collecting and managing your silent auction items.
Inventory and Packaging: As donations come in, Qtego’s inventory and packaging feature makes it easier to keep track of what you have and where you stored it. Upload pictures, start writing item descriptions, generate item description sheets, and even group multiple items into packages to make more of a splash at your auction.
Showcase Items: Your QSite gives you a flexible platform to show off your auction items and take bids online—before and during your event. Your high-impact, Pinterest-style feed displays full-size photos for a boutique look. And social media linking lets guests share items with their networks—increasing your range and allowing people to bid who aren’t attending or registered for your event.
Mobile Bidding: Of course, the key thing to keep in mind for your auction is how people will bid! Mobile bidding makes everything easier. Qtego helps you manage bids, calculate totals, check out quickly, and reconcile accounts in a snap.
