Online Auctions are beneficial to a number of parties involved:Online Auctions are beneficial to a number of parties involved:
 Commercial organisations looking to extend their reach by moving online. Sectors that have previously
shown a particular interest are the antique and machinery sector. Our experience shows that online auction
marketing provides a new route to market for almost all business sectors. This can be seen as complementary
to their traditional marketing and selling strategies.
 Bidders have the enjoyment of participating in the excitement of an online auction, whilst at the same time
acquiring a prized product or service as well as feeling the satisfaction of supporting a charitable cause in the
process.
 Donors, individuals, celebrities, corporates, event & venue providers who fulfill their stated commitment to
the charitable community by making specific donations of goods or services whilst simultaneously improving
image and brand awareness.
 Individuals who are potential buyers of goods or services who may be seeking an item unavailable in the open
market. This overcomes the difficulty that some people may have with attending live auctions, whilst
affording the opportunity to acquire items at competitive prices.
 Non-profit organisations and charities wanting to increase their funds through the use of online methods. This
can be done all year round, or run in conjunction with specific events or live auctions (often the winning bid
online can be used as the starting bid at a live auction event).

Here are someHere are some advantages of “online” auctions:advantages of “online” auctions:
• For people unable to attend a live auction our platform enables them to bid and compete with live bidders
• Auctions are not always about the item offered, but also about the excitement attached to bidding.
• Our open system enables spirited bidding between friends or groups
• A winning online bid can be used as the starting price for a live auction
• Online auctions are exciting and appealing to people of all ages
• Items are often unique/special/celebrity endorsed, and not readily available in the open market
• Quick and simple way to raise awareness for your cause
• Allows cause-minded consumers the opportunity to support a charity and receive something in return
• Achieve financial targets pre-event
• More bidders and more bids per item
