Maximize the revenue raised from your silent auctions by enabling guests to place instant bids on items using audience response keypads from their seats!

Guests simply enter their bids into the audience response keypads and the system automatically informs everyone of a new highest bid, generating competitive bidding amongst guests and increasing the value of the auction items.

Pledges

The Pledge function on IML’s audience response keypads allows guests to donate money quickly and easily throughout the evening.

Guests simply select the ‘pledge’ lot number and then key in the amount they would like to donate.

The total amount pledged by guests can also be displayed to guests on plasma screens.

Other benefits include:

• Continuous bid updates enable guests to monitor lots from their seats.
• Guests receive confirmation messages if they have entered the highest bid.
• The system instantly collates information, eliminating the need for on-site administrative staff.
• A full audit trail is available, enabling every stage of the process to undergo detailed scrutiny.
