Response from Elise Druckenmiller of Handbid

Thank you for your kind comments about Inga, we love her too and are happy you had a great event!

We provide varying levels of setup and tech support, depending on your wants and needs. At the minimum, we are always available M-F, 8-5 (MT) for email and/or chat support and our Knowledge Base (it's like a Google for Handbid!), as well as After-Hours Event Emergency support via our Hotline Number. In addition, we also provide free group training sessions monthly where we review the 4 biggest aspects of Handbid: Getting Started, Ticketing, People Management (Guests & Bidders) and Item Management. These sessions are recorded and sent to registered participants following each session. If your current plan does not provide the level of support you're looking for, we are happy to discuss upgrading your subscription to include a more personalized service approach.
