We make events more money! Our event ticketing, silent auction, raffle, & text-to-give software changes the game for in-person and virtual events! Easy.
(11)
A simple idea: text to bid auctions, eliminate bid sheets, engage your attendees, easily accessible check-in, and increase event revenues by 40%! Attendees love our text bidding, organizers praise our simple fully automated platform! Here's how Event.Gives works to improve your silent auction event. You build the auction with a simple to use interface, uploading all your auction items, and ticket
options. Event.Gives does the rest. Your attendees can register online, see the auction items, and start bidding through SMS texting. Event.Gives software streamlines the whole event with features like:
Advanced Ticketing: Attendees register on our platform bypassing check-in tables & improving the flow of the event. Preview Items: Your auction site includes all auction items for attendees to see before the event. Extended Bidding: Why are you closing the silent auction down before dinner? Because of all the paper! Event.Gives increases auction revenues with expanded auction hours & engage attendees with pre-event bidding. Now, you can keep the auction open after the live auction and take advantage of those that didn't win larger items, but are ready to bid. Text to Bid: Attendees only need an SMS phone with no app to download. Real-time Admin Dashboard: Keep track of bidding and update product info from the auction dashboard with graphs showing all aspects of event revenue. Signage: Print all your auction signs & item information from our platform. Display item information, leading bidders & featured event sponsors on digital signs. Tax Forms: Provide pre-populated tax forms to your bidders at the close of auction. Bottom line, Event.Gives will make your event more money and engage your attendees like never before!
