SchoolAuction.net

The software was absolutely easy to use and gave us a lot of control. We ended up on the Plus plan to give us notifications. This helped us keep track of everything going on. We were able to hold two different auctions as a result, which helped us raise a lot more money than we ever imagined.

I will admit that for some of our participants the old way seemed to work better for them since they were too used to traditional auctions. It was difficult to convince people to do it online, but we were ultimately able to get most participants on-board. As a result, we ended up holding two different auctions, one as a physical event and one online.

We’re very happy with school auction as it allowed us to raise enough money to replace the roof on our special events gymnasium where we run our after-school activities. We’ve been doing fundraisers for a few years now, but always ran into headaches organizing everything. When our head organizer left the school corporation, we were left trying to figure out how to organize our auction by ourselves. As a result, we investigating a number of different solutions. When we came across schoolauction.net, we were sure we had found our saving grace. Upon testing out the software, we were finding it made running an auction so much smoother and allowed us to extend how we did things. Instead of handling the auction the old-fashioned way, we could now leverage the software to handle the bids and let us house the items virtually.
