Use our silent auction bid sheets at your in-person event. Although our platform has everything you need to host your auction virtually, we understand that sometimes charities and nonprofits need to keep things old school. Simply adjust the rows for bids in our downloadable document and hit print for a successful silent auction.
In-person silent auctions require a way of tracking bids. No one is shouting out numbers, so you need paper bid sheets where bidders can write their name, contact information, and bids.
You might need to have staff or volunteers watch your bid sheets throughout your event, especially for high ticket items. But you should be able to let attendees browse your tables of gift baskets and other items at their own pace and then announce the winners at the end of your event.
When you hold a silent auction you allow people to browse items at their leisure and bid quietly. This means you need paper bid sheets where bidders leave their name, phone number, and bid amount, or an online program that can tracks the same (like ours).
Just sharing some free knowledge that we hope you’ll find useful. Keep us in mind next time you have marketing questions!
A silent auction bid sheet should include:
We ask for your information in exchange for a valuable resource in order to (a) improve your browsing experience by personalizing the CharityAuctionsToday site to your needs; (b) send information to you that we think may be of interest to you by email or other means; (c) send you marketing communications that we think may be of value to you. You can read more about it in our privacy policy.
