FAQ

Need Some Help?

Do guests get outbid notices?

You bet. We send real-time outbid notices via text to ensure reliable delivery.

We are also adding "shortcode failover" support for those guests who do not receive messages from our dedicated shortcode. For guests who do not have a smartphone, volunteers can easily lookup a guest and help them track their bids. We also support Max Bidding to let guests "set it and forget it". These are bids that our system will increase as others bid against them. Lastly, we have a projectable leaderboard display that rotates auction item high bids so guests can browse the activity and be reminded to keep bidding.

Do guests check-in and out of events?

The vast majority of your guests will use their phones for the entire mobile bidding process.

That includes pre-event check-in, bidding, payment and check-out. Those guests who do not have a mobile device can seek assistance from a volunteer using our painless ClickBid Butler event tool. By encouraging pre-event check-in (think 24 hour early check-in for airlines), your guests arrive at your event ready to bid.

What is Mobile Bidding?

Mobile bidding is the process of bidding on auction items, multi-sale, blind items and raffle items from your mobile device.

Mobile bidding replaces traditional paper auctions by providing easy-to-use bidding from electronic devices. This vastly improves your auction totals because guests can bid from anywhere without standing in line or fighting for position at the final minute.

You can also benefit from pre-bidding (which has helped gather as much as 40% of your auction goal before the event) and remote bidding for guests who cannot attend.

What is "dedicated customer advisor"?

Every account holder at ClickBid has access to our support team via email, chat and event day phone support.

Adding a dedicated customer advisor (DCA) allows a representative to stay in touch and review your event to help you avoid pitfalls. They will also provide best practices on silent auction events using mobile bidding.

It is also important to note that your event always comes with event day phone support. If you have questions, we are there to pick up the phone and answer them.

How much does it cost?

Well, we can't speak for every silent auction software company but ClickBid is just $795.

4 annual events for only $795. There are no limits to bidders, items, totals and payments either. Signup is easy and can be done online.

You can also pick and choose to add on features specific to your needs such as ticket sales, landing pages, mass messaging and higher levels of support. However, everything you need to run a top end auction is included in our flat annual fee. Our rule of thumb is to use last year's auction total, add 20% (typically it is much higher with mobile bidding but we try to be very conservative) and then subtract $795. That is what you can expect to increase your auction totals in the first year!

Is your system secure?

Yes it is. Our entire application lives on a private network isolated in the cloud from any other infrastructure.

Tight access policies manage requests in and out. We protect against OWASP Top 10 threats.

Regarding guest's credit card data, we adhere to the latest PCI standards and leverage the latest technology to protect payment data. All payment data is encrypted and passed directly to our third party PCI compliant partners for the safest possible transfer (using "hosted fields" technology). This helps avoid a common man-in-the-middle threat that can siphon data as it passes through non-compliant networks. When picking a mobile bidding platform to handle your payments, this is a critical piece of securing your guest's credit cards.

Don't take our word for it. Take our customer's.

Mobile Bidding Software Testimonials

"We found ClickBid to be intuitive and easy to use. This was true for both those of us setting up the ticket page and auction items before the event, and our guests during the event. Customer service has been very responsive and patient with us (we were new to electronic bidding and they walked us through everything).

As a non-profit organization costs is always a consideration. ClickBid has been a low cost alternative, but not a "cheap-one."

Good Samaritan Shelter

"We have been using ClickBid for our auction for the past four years and will be using them again this year. The software is easy to use and has helped us to increase revenue. We are able to have donors who aren't able to attend our event bid on items. The ClickBid team is great to work and with and every year they have made updates to the product to make it even better! The cost of using the product is very reasonable compared to some of the other products out there. I can't say enough good things about ClickBid!"

What is Managed Support

Every account holder at ClickBid is assigned a customer service representative. Our initial license comes with an event planning webinar meeting and continual email support. Your representative will stay in touch and review your event to help you avoid pitfalls. They will also provide best practices on silent auction events using mobile bidding. If you need more assistance, you can add on phone and priority support to get even more from your managed support representative.

It is also important to note that your event always comes with event day phone support. If you have questions, we are there to pick up the phone and answer them.

How much does it cost?

Well, we can't speak for every silent auction software company but ClickBid is just $500. An entire event with managed support for only $500. There are no limits to bidders, items, totals and payments either. Signup is easy and can be done online.
