Sealed Bidding Auctions - Bidding Platform

Overview

Sealed bidding is proving to be more successful than normal incremental bidding. Our results show that on average an organization’s profit increases by 166% when using sealed bidding.

So often runner up bidders go away empty handed and disappointed. With sealed bids they don’t have to, so if you can sell multiple amounts of the same item then sealed bidding is for you!

How it works!

Sealed bidding allows guests to submit their sealed bids, so nobody knows how much they have bid. Our platform then simply displays the number of bids placed on an item, not the name or amount, so other donors keep bidding higher amounts to ensure they win.

At the end of the auction, the prized auction item goes to the donors who have submitted the highest bid.

FAQ

Sealed bidding involves only showing the number of bids placed on an item, as opposed to the highest bid, helping to increase audience participation and encourage bidding. It is also a fully transparent and ethical way to multi-sell items if you have more than one of the same item.

Our reports show guests’ participation increases by 9% and on average, a charity’s profit increases up to 166%.

Yes! You can have different bid modes on your auction items throughout the list – we recommend having a mixture of sealed bids, standard incremental bids and buy it now items.

Absolutely! Through a fully transparent and ethical process, we’re able to easily sell the same item to, for example, the top three bidders at the end of the event, meaning that your charity profit is instantly tripled. We are very upfront in our visuals that we may sell to the top ‘x’ bidders if multiple items are available. We also recommend adding a sentence to the item description to be fully transparent.

Givergy makes the process simple and has covered all bases to enable guests to take part with ease. Having an experienced Givergy technical support consultant makes a lot of difference.
