We also had to extend the closure time twice due to varying delays, but this was simple to do, and the texts that were sent to guests to advise them of this kept the process clean and effective. We also used Buy Now for the first time to get donations towards Bedding Packs, Beds and Bunk Beds that could be donated to kids. This was very effective and people found the process very easy. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was lovely to work with, she spent a lot of time going through all the benefits of the system with us before we loaded it and this helped us understand how to best use it for not only customer experience but efficiency. > > **Cons**: We would like to of set an Auction Online date/time like you can to turn it off. The reason being that we had shared this page with a few supporters and donators prior to it going to guests. He had it turned off, but the message which could not be edited said the Auction had Closed. Which was accurate. Having the ability to put a message there saying 'Auction available from Date/Time' and automatically switch on would have been helpful. > > Great service, great user-friendly system and great customer experience. ----- ### "I enjoyed using this software" — 4.0/5 > **Danika** | *5 August 2021* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software had all the features that we needed. Some functionality was a bit clunky for our needs and integrating with live auctioning. > > **Cons**: I found that various lists, items, etc were a bit "buried" and hard to navigate to. We used this with a live element and it was a challenge to utilize it for live updates with the way it was set up for us. > > I love that these kind of solutions exist\! I'm sure it will be a good fit for many events. ----- ### "Excellent Tool for Charity On-Line Auctions" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *4 November 2020* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The GalaBid software was very easy to use making it accessible for our group of inexperienced volunteers. This meant more people in our team were confident in using the site from the outset enabling us to spread tasks around the group. Setting up the auction and loading lots was straightforward and intuitive. The structures of the dashboard menus were logically laid out and the inputs required were self explanatory (albeit there are helpful prompts attached to each field). The customer facing site was attractive and its ease of use resulted in excellent engagement and results. The automated alerts to the bidders helped raise additional funds for our charity. Managing the auction with the dashboard, KPIs and reports was made very easy. In short, our expectations were exceeded at every level and we appreciated the support and contact from our account director who took a personal interest in how we were proceeding. > > **Cons**: When registering as bidders, there is an option to use a landline or mobile (cellphone) number. I would only offer the mobile option as the spoken instruction is not as clear as the text instructions - a very minor point in an otherwise excellent product. > > Our expectations have been exceeded and we would wish to work with GalaBid again if and when we run another auction. ----- ### "Highly recommend Galabid to any organisation looking to fundraise during COVID" — 5.0/5 > **Zach** | *27 August 2021* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Ease of use - Great support - Easy payment process - Great communication options to bidders > > **Cons**: - I'd like an 'Save and edit next item' option when editing listings > > For the past two years, I've utilised the Galabid platform for an online auction fundraiser at my work (the Werribee Football Club) due to the implications of the pandemic. As the auction has been a staple of our fundraising calendar for near-on three decades, I was naturally a little concerned as to whether we'd be able to replicate the success online as we had for our physical events. Two online auctions later and with over $70k raised, I can say unequivocally that the online auction format is a winner and Galabid have been instrumental in ensuring our success. The back-end is intuitive and super easy to use, and the Galabid team are great to work with. It's very easy as a consumer to register, bid and keep an eye on the items you're after which makes it a whole lot of fun - especially in the final hours. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of groundwork involved to source, upload items and then manage dispatch after the event (vs. a physical event where people can take their stuff home) and I recommend at least two people be involved with the initial start-up and management of an event if you have over 60+ items. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and co. though have seen it all at this point and will be great assets to help things go smoothly for you.. I highly recommend Galabid to anybody who asks\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2000295/galabid?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2000295/galabid) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
