About ClickBid
ClickBid is an intuitive, cloud based, mobile bidding and virtual event solution for nonprofit organizations. The software enables fundraisers to conduct online auctions and attract an unlimited number of remote, mobile bidders. ClickBid electronically collects bids, bidder information, and manages auction check-in and check-out. In addition, the software provides features for pre-event promotional website setup, online ticket sales, text/email messaging and credit card processing. Fundraisers can enter auction items individually or import them from an Excel sheet by using the pre-defined template available in ClickBid's admin segment.
ClickBid's text-to-give donations feature enables organizations to fundraise not only during events, but before and after them too. Donors can text the event’s short name and their donation amount to a specific number and they will receive a payment link on their mobile to complete the donation process. Through a private auction feature for valued donors, users can focus on their core contributors without losing them to other charities auctioning similar items.
ClickBid enables pre-event ticket sales through a customizable ticket page which allows purchasers to select their meal choice and include a special note for each purchase. Guest data is automatically saved in ClickBid admin, which can be converted into 'bidders' on the day of the auction event. ClickBid helps event organizers to promote their event by setting up an initial event website.
The system integrates with applications such as Salesforce, NeonCRM, Classy, and Kindful which can sync guest lists with ClickBid. ClickBid also integrates with Travelpledge to offer seamless adding of outstanding items to a ClickBid auction. ClickBid clients include Folds of Honor, The Grosse Pointe Academy and The Orlando Magic Youth Foundation.

We raised a record amount of money the past two years we used this software for our annual charity auction. Also the ease of using the software allowed us more time to concentrate on other things pertaining to the auction because we did not have to worry about the software working properly.
Pros
The software is intuitive and easy to use and also loads bid items, etc. very quickly. Bidders are notified when they are out-bid which I think helped us to raise record amounts with this auction the past two years we have used ClickBid. Also, the amount of reports that are available post-event were really helpful to our accountant and the rest of the staff.

I used ClickBid for one of our charity events in 2015. It was the first time we took the leap and moved from a very tedious paper process to an online software. From the beginning ClickBid's customer service was excellent, they understood that we were new and they always had a solution for all of our issues. We were able to open the silent auction 3 days earlier which created a lot of buzz. We were able to achieve over 106% of the market value of the donated items, compared to 80% in previous years. They have the option of just donating cash online and that was a huge success for people that were not interested in the silent auction items. The check out process, which used to be a nightmare, was so fast and easy. We were just so pleased, and the customer rep onsite (Jennifer Ruprich) was excellent, she was very patient and helpful.
Pros -
1. Very easy to use for the bidders.
2. Check out process was AMAZING.
3. Batch uploading of pictures and items is a HUGE time saver.
4. Last minute donations were easily added to the catalog.
5. Their customer service is the absolute best.
6. Cash donations are easy to make.
Cons
The comes are more for the Silent Auction team that is uploading the information.
1. Could not combine donations to group them as a package offering.
2. Had no control of the picture size.
3. Could not display multiple pictures for the same item.
4. Could not print out display sheets for each item.
5. Could not create a pdf of the catalog that looked presentable, with pictures.
Response from ClickBid
Excellent analysis of the pros and cons. Over the summer we plan to release several new features including multiple images, robust catalog guides using MS Word and photo editing (cropping, rotating, resizing).

Makes the auction easier to manage for our volunteers and attendees.
Makes the auction easier to manage for our volunteers and attendees.
Pros
Our organization previously conducted the auction on paper and handled the check out process ourselves. Moving to an online platform has made the process much easier and has required fewer volunteers to manage. It has also been more convenient for our attendees.
Cons
Getting follow up information and summaries after the event is cumbersome and not at all intuitive. Totals and wrap up information is spread out in different areas, not well defined, and takes a lot of time to figure out.
Response from ClickBid
This is great feedback. It will help us organize our post event better. We have several updates that will assist this process.

Pros
We love using ClickBid! We have an annual event with a revolving door of committee members, so the reports are awesome and the instant data is fantastic compared to the use of paper sheets. We also love the ClickBid does not have a commission fee in their pricing like others we looked at. The system is very easy to use and ClickBid has a great team that has gone above and beyond for us.
Cons
Really wish we could keep multi-years in the system for comparison/ease of historical overviews. There is sometimes a delay in the texting, which is problematic when you're trying to make real-time announcements to guests.

Thrilled with ClickBid!
Reviewed on 2018/12/06
Pros
As a small but growing non-profit, we've been implementing new technology over the past year to streamline our processes. ClickBid is by far the most user friendly, comprehensive system we've put in place recently. Last year for our auction we used a pretty cheap but low functionality text-to-bid software from a local distributor and it was not a pretty experience. We're so thrilled that we found ClickBid and invested in the software! The entire auction went off without a hitch and the system was incredibly user friendly, intuitive, and had everything we needed (plus more) to successfully run our entire fund me appeal, silent auction, live auction, and check-in/check-out process. We paid for a dedicated customer adviser and it has been worth every penny. Their support is fantastic and their team is incredibly knowledgeable about the product as well as responsive to support needs. The average price of our silent auction items went up compared to last year and most importantly our guests had no problem using the system. I can't recommend ClickBid enough!
Cons
Honestly, none. Worth the price entirely. If I had to pick a con it would be that we only have one event right now that we can use the system for, but hope to have more in the future to make the most of our one-year license.
