What do you like best about Handbid?

The product is user-friendly for both our staff and donors. The team at hand bid always go above and beyond to help us whether it be technical issues, reporting, or overall strategy. Elise Neugebauer has been fantastic. She has been supporting us for many years and is always willing to hop on a call to talk through how to increase our fundraising impact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

Hand if is really the best product for online options that I have utilized. There are some free resources and given our ongoing struggles to recover from the pandemic, free is always a good thing, but at the end of the day Handbid is worth the investment if you are planning an event Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?

We love That our community can support our event and auction, even if they can't attend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Handbid?

I like having everyones information for the event and their ability to bid online from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

Guests dont know how to use handbid for bidding. It actually takes awhile to input auction items and alot of the check in process is confusing. The only way our event was successful was because we had a handbid rep there to make sure eveything went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Handbid?

Our silent and live auction was a great success due to the use of Handbid's mobile app. We had 73 items and the idea of using paper bid sheets would have been unrealistic for our event. We had people in our group unable to attend who were thrilled to compete for favorite items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

We purchased a package that provided some training but we could have used a bit more instruction. Since we implimented less than two weeks prior to our event, we had to be quick in learning. Our registration process was difficult and lengthy with six staff helping with their laptops for 420 guests and it still took too long. We needed more time to get everyone registered in Handbid for the evening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Handbid solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a lot of items in our auction along with two live auction items and a fund a need portion. Once everyone was in Handbid, the process was smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Stefanie Mason of Handbid

We're thrilled to hear that your silent and live auction was a great success with the use of Handbid's software, especially given the tight two-week timeline. Something to consider for the future is selling your event tickets in Handbid which will pre-register your guests and will prevent the need to collect guest information, e.g. phone numbers, email, etc, at registration. This will help speed up check-in and expedite your guest's experience. The tickets feature is included with your Handbid subscription. We're happy to walk through this with you for your next event.

What do you like best about Handbid?

Handbid is so user friendly - not only to the event planner but to our bidders! It really brought our annual Dinner Dance to a new level. People start bidding early and those who can't attend the event feel they are a part of it because they can bid from wherever they are!

Response from Melissa Glissmeyer of Handbid

Thanks for the great review, Ann! We are so glad your bidders and event planner had a great time using Handbid. For peer-to-peer, we actually have one of the best P2P platforms out there! It was one of the first event platforms we created, even before auctions! You can read more about P2P here: https://www.handbid.com/fundraisers-feature-page/ or you can reach out to service@handbid.com to set up a customized demo. Happy to hear you increased your revenue and participation by taking your event online. Thanks for using Handbid and we look forward to powering your next event!

The dimensions for any graphics we have to upload for the items. I wish it didn't have the strict dimensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes it simple for people to look at items and their descriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are thrilled that entering items is easy and doesn't take much time. It's also great that your bidders enjoy looking at the items and descriptions. As of right now, we are held to certain dimensions because of our upload partner. But we can certainly look at expanding these in the future.
