Raising Vital Funds in September
SILENT AUCTION SOFTWARE LIKE NO OTHER
We are thrilled to update you all on what has been happening here at Event PAL- Scotland’s award-winning silent auction fundraising platform. We have been super busy this year, developing our silent auction technology in line with a number of requests from our clients, making our platform the very best it can be for donors, when supporting their charity of choice.
Our fundraising platform now assists over 150 Scottish charities each year, raising in excess of £10m and, whilst fundraising is always at the heart of what we do, we also offer a number of other solutions through our event management platform.
TICKETING
When promoting and selling you event, why not let our Event PAL team take care of the ticketing stress through our multi-functional platform? Guests can pay for their tickets using our interactive online payment process, or be invoiced on request.
You can easily set ticketing options to suit all guests’ budgets or tiers of tickets, whilst your guests can gain entry to your event through a QR code, sent directly to their device via email.
Our integrated donor profiling allows you to obtain information on your attendees, allowing you to be able to communicate with them on the lead up to your event through our secure internal communications channel.
Already sold your tickets offline and still want to hold all details on the system? No problem! Simply upload your guests’ details, and we can send out event details to them directly.
Payments for tickets are taken through stripe, which can be connected to your own bank accounts, meaning funds filter straight to you- ensuring that your funds reach where it matters most as quickly as possible.
COMMUNICATION
Keep in touch with your attendees throughout the event by using our bespoke communications platform. Let your guests know about the exciting new items added to your silent auction, event details, or even changes to your format with our quick and easy to use comms- all tailored to your branding.
RAFFLE
Did you know you can sell raffle or prize draw tickets through our system? Our platform will even draw the raffle for you, meaning you can always take card payment for the raffle part of your event, even if your guests forget to bring cash!
Additionally, you can sell tickets for your raffle online, on the lead up to your event- allowing guests who can’t attend to still be able to support you.
OUTBID NOTIFICATIONS
Whether you go with our ‘Live’ package (featuring an iPads on each table) or our ‘Hybrid’ package (custom QR codes on each place setting) your guests will always be kept in the loop with what is happening in the silent auction by receiving outbid notifications to their phone. So, whether they leave the event before the auction closes, go to the restroom or visit the bar (many times), they will always be aware of whether they are winning or need to bid again to be in with a chance of winning!
SURVEYS & POLLS
Find out what your guests think of your event, how they rate the entertainment, and even what they thought of the meal by using our interactive polls and survey options within our system.
Event feedback is vital to ensuring that we build on our events and grow our fundraising incomes year on year. Grow your revenues within your silent auction platform by getting real-time feedback from your guests at the event or just after, whilst thoughts and opinions are fresh in their minds.
PLATFORM ACCESS
With our new platform access feature, we can now provide clients with full access to their event. Our team will still build and manage your platform for you, however, having your own personalised access allows you to continue to make changes to existing listings to add new prizes. We will always remain fully engaged as silent auction providers, however, the option to have access to your bespoke custom-made platform gives you an opportunity to keep on top of your payments and download real-time payment reports, ensuring you are always on top of your event pre, during and post event date.
The month of September seen our team help to raise over £190,000 for Scottish based charities, through our fundraising platform. More and more Scottish charities are making the move to Event PAL when choosing their trusted fundraising partner. Be the next to book a demonstration with our expert team, where we will be delighted to showcase our silent auction technology to you!
