Musical Moods
Silent Auction Transformed via
Mobile Bidding

We are pleased to announce we will be launching MOBILE BIDDING at the 2014 Musical Moods Event for our Silent Auction, allowing for a completely paperless bidding system! Just bring your preregistered smartphone and you are ready to win some amazing items! Don't worry, we will have volunteers ready to help you out! Learn more below!

With Mobile bidding, you will bid electronically on silent auction items using your smartphone, tablet (iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Nook HD, Kindle Fire, etc) or computer bidding stations available throughout the event location. You can easily track your desired items by following their activity from your mobile device, without having to return to the actual item.

There will be no auction bidding sheets on the display tables, which will eliminate overcrowding around auction items.

Mobile Bidding will make the event run more efficiently from registration to checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits to Mobile Bidding?

*All silent auction items are available online or on your mobile device. There is no need for a paper catalog. You will have the ability to print your own paper catelog before the event, and a limited number of catalogs will be available during the night of the event.

*Once bidding starts, you will be alerted on your mobile device when you have been outbid, so you can instantly respond with another bid.

*Bidding can occur at any location within the auction itself, whether you are in line for the bar or mingling with friends. You do not have to be at the display tables to make a bid.

*All auction bidding will be tracked, displayed and announced in real time throughout the evening.

*At the end of the evening, the check out process will run efficiently because your credit card information will have been entered into our system prior to the event.

How can I participate in mobile bidding?

*To participate in mobile biding, pre-registration of your mobile device is recommended.
