PODCAST: Handheld bidding devices freshen up a silent auction

handheld bidding devices in silent auction - 3 items

What’s missing? Paper bid sheets!

What’s missing from the silent auction table in this photo?

There are no bid sheets.

We see three items and no bid sheets.

In today’s podcast, you’ll hear about a new technology for your silent auction that allows it to “go digital” through the use of handheld bidding devices. 

There are a few companies offering this technology and each has its own approach. At this auction, guests were handed an electronic device (it was the size of a cell phone) when they registered. They carried it with them and when they wanted to bid, they entered the item number and pressed a button to record their bid.

In this week’s podcast, you’ll learn six advantages to using this new silent auction tool.

Listen to the podcast below.
