Pros

“Silent Auction Pro allows us to manage all phases of our event: creating contacts, ticket purchases, seating, live and silent auctions, raffles, donations, and all after event tasks and reporting.”

Jeanine C.

Event Coordinator

“The Staff does an excellent job coaching you throughout the entire event process; from setting up the event, creating tickets, posting auction items and ultimately closing out the event.”

Frank P.

Director of Finance and Operations

“Need a few more customization options for quick buttons or easy finds.”

Nick P.

President

Pros

“The product is great once you figure out how to use it, and the price is reasonable, but you'll never know when various options will be held hostage for more money. ”

Cons

“However when I entered a number that was already used, I was presented with an error messaage stating it was a used number. If I was more dilligent, I would have kept a list of numbers as I used them, but for us lazy folks it would be nice if the sytem displayed the last used number.”

Dennis W.

Marketing Support

“I sometimes still struggle with finding contacts (searching "MY" contacts vs. "all" contacts) but I understand why the system is created that way.”

Jamie H.

Executive Director

“I did not get help from my event team so had to do things much on my own. If not for the Silent Auction platform, I would be in rehab now.”

“It just cost more than our team doing it ourselves. ”

Dave J.

Director

“The unethical practices were pushed by an[sensitive content hidden] which may be a real person, or might be a made-up customer service name, I can't be sure.”
