VIDEO: My gripe with some mobile silent auction solutions and online auction platforms

Sherry Truhlar Leave a Comment

As I’ve talked with more vendors about their mobile silent auction solutions and online auction products, I’ve become disheartened to learn that most of them do NOT offer a key feature that is generally an accepted standard in the commercial auction world.

It’s not a “new” feature, but perhaps vendors servicing the charity auction market failed to understand how it can generate more dollars for charities. For whatever reason, it’s been missing from most vendors’ products.

I hope that with my encouragement, this feature will soon be added into the offerings.

Watch the video below.

UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2012

If, after you listen to my video, you still have doubts as to the importance of this feature, you’ll find this article fascinating. It’s a blog post written by one of the competitors in the industry, detailing why they decided to add this key feature into their product.
