Live Auctions

Now that your organization has decided to put forth the great effort to organize and run a live auction, make sure you have the tools, technologies and people to effectively execute this major portion of your event. Our proven live auction technologies generate much higher sale values from live auction items. Our integrated "Touch-Pad Live Auction Technology" has the ability to recognize and thank each winner on big screen and plasma displays in the venue.

Another great means of generating additional funds in the live auction is the "Ask", "Cash Call", "Special Appeal" or "Fund-a-Need". This monetary denominational ask, be it silent or done by the emcee or live auctioneer, receives a major boost from our integrated patron recognition technology. Not only can the auctioneer see real time how much has been raised, but AES can project goal thermometers that give the audience a true sense of the difference they are making as they watch the goal level climb to a pre-determined goal. Patrons can optionally see their names on the projection as they are thanked for their contributions.

Auctioneers and board members alike have visibility to how much has been generated real time and can invoke the patron base to climb to higher levels. This combined with our unique ability to allow patrons to either participate by paddle or silently by Smartphone means the options and implementation strategies are countless.

Big screens show real time, funds being raised so auctioneers and board members can push donation to a higher level. Instant recognition can place cash call and "fund a need" participant's names on the big screen increasing participation through subliminal giving persuasion.
