“Live auctions spark excitement among the crowd as an auctioneer calls out the highest bids. Live and live-stream auctions can serve as an integral role in reaching your fundraising goals when done correctly.”
LIVE AUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
With the pressure of an auctioneer and crowd, live auctions are a great way to raise money. During both live and live stream auctions, the auctioneer will direct the bidding by introducing each auction item and the starting bid amount.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“We were focused on generating more money through the pledge, and with Givergy’s advice on run-of-show and process during that moment, everything came together fantastically well. Tim was brilliant on stage, he brought the energy but also the focus on what we needed the audience to do. I’d highly recommend the Givergy system for the donation moment and auction, plus Tim on stage to make it all happen!”
“Amazing all round service, I would recommend Givergy to anyone. They were the difference between an average event and great event.”
“Givergy are always so responsive and when you’re in a fast-paced environment, this is always appreciated! Using the system is so easy but if you face any issues the support team reply within minutes! Even down to the post-event check-ins their team was incredibly engaged and open to hearing any feedback we had. Honestly, just a great experience.”

LIVE AUCTION FAQS
Hire an experienced auctioneer. It’s worth it! They play a huge role in keeping the live auction moving to help you raise more.
Limit the number of auction items between 3 and 5 to keep your audience interested.
An experienced auctioneer will be able to gauge the room to determine where to start the bidding. The last thing you want is to drop below the start bid because it was too high. As a general rule, we say 50% of the price you want it to go for – with big increments.
