Overview
Leaderboards 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, laptops or mobile devices in high traffic areas at a venue.
The Leaderboard Display is a feature of Online Bidding and can easily be setup and customized via Greater Giving web account.
You can use the Leaderboard 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 Leaderboard Displays. You can either have multiple sponsors or set a higher amount for a primary sponsorship. Leaderboard visibility at an event can also create future sponsorships from prospects attending your event.
Leaderboard Placement
Maximize and maintain interest in your event by strategically placing your Leaderboard 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 Leaderboard 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.
Customizable Display
You can customize your leaderboards to rotate a variety of display options:
- Switchable background color schemes
- Show all packages (typical display during silent auctions)
- Show sold items after closing (typical display after a silent auction closes)
- Focus on one category
- Show open packages with no bids (great deals)
