Customize your auction

Create an auction that reflects your image

Make the platform your own by:

Adding your auction and/or company logo
Downloading your auction banner
Activating Facebook share
Choosing your colours
Determining your URL extension

Create a welcoming space for your participants by customizing your auction to reflect your brand.

Choose your language

Just like Canada is a bilingual nation, you can hold a bilingual auction and reach twice as many people!

Inversely, if you do not want to work in both languages, you can use the platform in either French or English.

Your participants will be able to see the auction in the language of their choice.

An example of how the platform allows you to create bilingual auctions. The “Title” and “Description” fields are displayed in both languages, allowing you to translate your content directly to offer it in English and French.

Prepare it privately

Keep your auction top secret until the last minute, or publish it in advance so participants check it out in advance and create hype: the choice is yours!

You can also preview your auction to make sure it’s perfect down to the last detail.

The platform’s dashboard displays the “Publish auction” button in the “Welcome to Followmybid” banner, giving you the flexibility to publish your interactive auction whenever you want.

Big-screen display

Benefit from our giant screen interface for your hybrid or in-person events.

In real-time, the screen shows:

The Wi-Fi connection participants can use to bid
The countdown to the end of the auction
The information concerning the final bids

The giant screen shows that the organization is at 65% of the $32,000 fundraising goal and that there are 3 hours 58 minutes and 36 seconds left to the auction.

Play on multiple boards

Your organization can hold numerous auctions simultaneously and add different teams for each one. You can switch from one to the next in just a few clicks.

Two windows are opened with different online auctions that also show different administrators.

Set a goal

Proudly display your goal and progression towards it during the auction.

Or keep this information confidential between you and your team.

A needle on a gauge shows that the organization is approaching 50% of its fundraising goal.

Rule supreme

Here you make the rules, but we help you put them in place:

It’s almost magic! The platform writes your rules automatically according to the settings you have selected.

You can still modify the rules and add custom ones on the same page.

An open rulebook displays the do’s and don’ts of the online auction.

Plan your dates

Create an auction with the duration of your choice and choose the exact moment to publish it.

Your auction will start and end automatically at your chosen times.

You can change the end date at any time without restriction.

The personalized online auction dates are displayed on an electronic calendar with a “Create Auction” button.

Make the fun last

The overtime mode allows you never to miss a bid.

How does it work? Simple. Every last-minute bid will prolong the auction for a predetermined amount of time.

Like traditional auctions, this option lets you accept all bids as long as participants continue to bid on an item.

The Interactive Auction Extension pop-up is open and displays the time customization options.

Collect sales taxes

The sale tax module allows you to decide on which items you want to apply taxes and calculate them automatically according to your province.

*Only available for Canadian organizations

A calculator and an invoice on which taxes are added.

For VIPs only

If you are more discrete, you can create a private auction where participants can join by invitation only. Your Web auction will be hidden from others.

An envelope contains an invitation to a private, invitation-only online auction.

Be anonymous... or not!

If you wish, hide the identity of your participants to imitate a 100% anonymous silent auction. You can also let participants decide if they want to present themselves anonymously or not.
