When they started out on the market, they really wanted to change the way event auctions/fundraisers were done. They were truly the only option on the market to do a virtual gala/auction. With the live stream and auction embedded into one screen for the attendees in real-time, it makes the experience for the guests seamless. On the backend it made it simple to register guests, communicate, display content and auction items, collect payment and perform a silent auction. Their system was fast and very responsive. When you have an issue or concern or really a feature request they listen to your every need and make changes that will help with the overall experience.

The upsides of using event.gives are we can contact potential buyers outside of our immediate group. We can target online and through social media and email. I've never looked into competitors. We used to hold the school silent auction via paper- old school. The first year we used it, in 2015, we were able to double our profits.

Upside: Easy to set up and manage Feasibility of tracking how many tickets have been sold Communication to ticket holders is easy
