I am hoping they will continue to improve the software to help nonprofits be able to capture more information in the near future. Pros I liked that it was easy to use- very intuitive and user friendly. I used it for a n auction that I conducted for a client who had little extra money to use mobile bidding. Cons I wish it had a feature where you could input live auction bidder numbers so you could check them out quicker. That would be especially helpful for Fund the Needs.

RN Hospital & Health Care ### "Used Bidr for my Non Profit Event " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 October 8, 2019 Platform is great, customer service is terrible. Pros I really liked the look of the event page and how the items were cataloged. The instructions were fairly simple for everyone to follow. When I was able to speak to a customer service rep they were very pleasant. Cons There is no-one to speak to fro any technical support or follow up questions. The platform is fairly easy to use although tedious to enter information ( you can only add one picture at a time). I used Bidr because I was already using Travel Pledge and they recently partnered so it was upon their recommendation. Travel Pledge is EXCELLENT! They assign a representative who called at least every other week and every week leading up to the event. I signed up for Bidr thinking I was going to get the same customer service but I was VERY wrong. I spoke to a rep once and had a very pleasent phone call with him. I requested that he follow up with an email with his contact information which he said he would do. No contact information, no phone number. I had a lot of questions 2 days before my event on check out, and how to follow up with my customers if they purchased their marketplace items. I was told they are very busy and in order to speak to them you have to schedule a phone call days out. Unacceptable. I'm now days out of my event and still have not had an actual person call me to answer any of my questions. Everything is via email with lag time. They should not advertise having 24/7 support and really shouldn't bother with their phone number, regardless of the time you call it leads to a generic voicemail and no-one calls back. Although the platform was great, the customer service is severely lacking. T Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

AU Anonymous User Producer Fund-Raising ### "The worst donation platform I've ever used" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 October 14, 2018 Pros It looks nice. It's very cheap. Other than that I can't say anything positive about this platform. Cons Nothing works. Registering people in advance is only permissable via mobile, making RSVPs impossible. Credit card capture failed 3 out 4 times. Login failed for a good portion of our guests. You can't close a silent auction and still take donations. Bulk editing is impossible. Bulk credit charging does not seem to bee supported. Probably cost our organization 10-15k. We paid extra for customer support and when we called them to get the support we were told "everything looks good on our end" while we had guests showing us the error messages they were getting. We hired people who have run other platforms because depending strictly on volunteers sounded crazy, all of whom are very technically savvy, but even they were incredulous at how impossible to use the platform is. Just a disaster of a platform. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros Love their ticketing... super easy check-in and scan of tickets. Plus, we use it at our annual event for silent auction. Cons There is a cost of 3% fee on the items we sell including tickets, auction, raffle tickets, and donations.

Pros Love that it is an online system- that's what we wanted for mobile bidding for our signature fundraising event. Cons Unfortunately it was not an easy system to use, for internal staff or our guests. Registration was a nightmare and the mobile bidding fell apart mid-event!

Marketing Director ### "Will never use again" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 July 18, 2017 Pros It was easy to set up initially and I thought was going to be a really great tool. However, throughout the fundraiser, we had several people contacting us saying they couldn't get it to work properly and we attempted a number of times to get technical support but apparently there is no support on Saturdays. Cons I was really disappointed for a couple of reasons that I feel are valid complaints, however, Bidr did nothing to rectify the issues. First, we had no technical support on the day we held our fundraiser and it took over 2 days to receive a response to our inquiries. Then, when I did get a response, I learned that the system wasn't working properly so as a matter of good customer service I felt that at least a portion of the fees should be waived since it definitely impacted the amount we were able to raise, yet Bidr did nothing.

JR Jordan R. Web Developer Design ### "Great piece of software with lots of features" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 13, 2016 Bidr makes it really easy to manage a silent auction / fundraiser. From ticketing to managing items and raffles, and even accepting donations. And their customer service is top notch, anytime there is a problem there is always someone who is willing to walk through the problem, help to find a solution or take it to the Bidr team to work on a resolution, and their turnaround is pretty fast! Pros Fast, Easy to use, lots of features. Fast and reliable customer service. Cons Navigating can be cumbersome sometimes. But they are always working on changes and updates and their admin is about to get a refresh.

SH Stephanie H. ### "Makes event planning SO much easier!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 13, 2016 I planned a first ever fundraising event for my son's hockey association. We used Bidr for event ticketing, silent auction, and a raffle. We had several of our hockey teams that were traveling during the event and without Bidr they wouldn't have been able to participate! Check in was a breeze. Our volunteers used their cell phones to scan in the guests and our auction had a lot of action. The event was planned very last minute and we were able to start selling tickets 3 weeks out and added our auction items the week before the event. This would never have been possible with "old fashioned" paper bid sheets and selling tickets in person. The best part was check out. When we ended the auction guests paid on their phones. No lines! They then just showed us that they had paid on their phones and we gave them their items. We LOVED Bidr! We had everyone from 20 somethings to 80 year old grandparents and we had NO complaints! Pros Eliminates check in and check out lines. Less work for organizers. Attendees are not glued to the auction table. Cons We loved everything!

Love how it delivers a great attendee experience which is what we care about most with our events. Team continues to be responsive as they build more features.
