With Handbid, even people who don’t attend your fundraiser can check out auction items and
participate in bidding. They’ll also receive real-time updates and higher bid notifications that
keep them in the game. No more excuses about bad weather, prior engagements or being
unable to get a babysitter. Anyone can join from anywhere.

HAVE TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR GUESTS WITH
SIMPLIFIED AUCTION MANAGEMENT
Handbid makes it easy to manage every aspect of your
auction. You can fine-tune the way you showcase auction
items, send text messages to invite potential bidders, push
alerts when bidding is coming to a close and even track realtime performance throughout. You’ll be amazed at how easy it
is to make bidders happy. And drive better results.

ELIMINATE STRESSFUL WAITING WITH
AUTOMATED CHECKOUT
Lengthy check-out and collection processes are a bummer – for both bidders and
auction managers. With Handbid, winning bidders all receive an invoice on their
phone that they can quickly review and pay. This means no lines, no
misunderstandings, no lengthy collection hassle.

MORE ABOUT HANDBID
USERS WILL BE NOTIFIED IN REAL-TIME
WITH ANY OUTBID OR WINNING NOTICE
Let’s face it, text messages can get buried and often overlooked. Why rely on a text to tell you if you have been outbid?
With Handbid, messages are richly displayed and accompanied
by a vibration of the device. Your bidders won’t miss an
important update!
In addition, users can set whether they receive PUSH, SMS or
NO messages at all, giving them added flexibility

RICH PUSH MESSAGES THAT STANDOUT
SOMETHING A WEB-SOLUTION CAN’T DO!
Using rich push messages in our native app, we can make sure your bidders
won’t miss any important outbid notifications when browsing through their list of
messages.
