Live appeal

Your auctioneer will engage your audience to help maximize your fundraising. When the call to action is made, participants will be invited to pledge by text message. Their pledges and messages are shared instantly with the auctioneer who will integrate them into the appeal. We recommend reaching out to key donors before the event to secure their pledges to help set the tone for the appeal as soon as the auctioneer makes the call to action.

LIVE AUCTION

During the live auction, bidders place their bids by text message. The auctioneer sets the pace during the broadcast, where the bids are displayed onscreen. With our ultra low latency streaming, viewers see and hear the auctioneer in real time, keeping them engaged in the bidding.

LIVESTREAM PRODUCTION

Your livestream broadcast is engineered by a technical director who mixes pre-recorded video with live speakers or entertainment from remote locations . A virtual set is custom designed for the live elements to reflect your organization’s brand identity. The entire program is delivered through a high-definition streaming service.

Branded Presentation WEBSITE

The livestream viewer is situated in a custom presentation website, featuring your organization’s logo or banner, as well as an on-brand background color or graphic.

Viewer Chat

Engage your audience with a dedicated viewer chat app. Guests can post messages including emoji. Our guest service manager monitors the chat for technical support questions during the broadcast.

Event Check-In

Viewers are asked to provide their name and email address immediately prior to the broadcast. This helps build your audience and facilitates fundraising follow-up.
