Overview

Engaging your audience with appealing and interactive visuals is more important than ever. Greater Giving Display Boards will make sure your organization stands out from the crowd.

Auction Boards are used to display bidding or donation activity at benefit auctions and fund-a-need events. They are usually projected on the wall of an event, a flat screen, or a laptop in high traffic areas at a venue. And, can be available on or mobile devices for individual viewing.

The Auction Board Display is a feature of Online Bidding and can easily be setup and customized via Greater Giving web account.

You can use the Auction Board Displays to increase your guests’ awareness of funds raised and enable them to quickly see auction status. It’s also a great way to promote sponsors for your event by showing their logos scrolling on the screens.

Features

Sponsor Logo Display

Optimize sponsorship opportunities by displaying your sponsors’ logos on bidder screens and the Auction Board Displays. You can either have multiple sponsors or set a higher amount for a primary sponsorship. Auction Board visibility at an event can also create future sponsorships from prospects attending your event.

Auction Board Placement

Maximize and maintain interest in your event by strategically placing your Auction Board Displays in high traffic areas of your venue. Areas where people congregate, such as the bar, are ideal for capturing the attention of your guests.

Highlight Packages

Use the Auction Board Display to highlight packages of special interest. Your auctioneer or emcee can speak to packages that are bidding high or ones that still need bids.

Countdown Timer

Countdown timers give your event a "Happy New Year’s" buzz by creating energy in the room.
