One of the biggest investments you can make for a successful auction is an auction software that can manage all of your data tracking needs. The ability to cross reference, reduce your workload, and generate all of your print materials and resources will increase your effectiveness and ultimately improve your guest and donor experience.
There are a lot of software companies that provide support for fundraising, but I have found the Auction Pay software to be the most complete product. From start to finish it offers you tools to specifically support your auction tracking, your guest tracking, process your credit cards, market your event, hold online auctions, and even do your follow up.
It is a complete tool that, if used well, can reduce your organization's workload.
Recently Auction Pay became Greater Giving. According to the Greater Giving website, "This new name reflects our expanded mission to provide nonprofits and schools with technology and credit card processing services to make all their fundraising efforts more successful."
I have repeatedly found that Greater Giving software users question the investment, but see a return in fundraising and access to tools that ultimately grow their event. As an organizer, I have seen a tremendous reduction in workload and relief on volunteer and staff time.
If you are a Greater Giving user and are trying to learn more about your investment and identify ways to better utilize this as a fundraising and database tool, we are currently offering software support and training. If this is a new product for you, we can get you up and running. And if you have made the investment, but don't feel like your staff is adequately trained we can provide you some support. To set up some training time contact Samantha Swaim Fundraising, LLC.
