Going Once, Twice...
Tech that Brings in More
Money for Charity

2. The future of fundraising has arrived with the Galabid software
developed by Crowdcomm. In May of 2014, Crowdcomm launched in
the United States. The software is used by a number of charities
worldwide to facilitate live and silent auctions on site at gala events,
encouraging bidding wars via mobile devices.

3. With Galabid, gone are the days of live auctioneers who rattle off names
and prices of auction items while attendees raise their paddles to bid.

4. Designed for mobile devices—primarily
smartphones—Galabid uses the
mobile phone as a unified tool and
utilizes text messaging, social media
platforms, and mobile browsing to
produce results during live and silent
auctions.

“if you can text
message, then you
can use this system.”
Ray Hansen,
Crowdcomm

5. While Galabid sees most of its action
during live and silent auctions at
charity galas, the tool is also used at
events such as 5ks, walk-a-thons, golf
tournaments, and any event hosting
live donations.

Data reveals that
Galabid has
increased donation
revenue on
average by 40%.

6. Life Cycle of an Event
A common trend Hansen has noticed among Galabid users is taking
auction items that have been re-donated by winners and opening up
a new bid after the event—bringing in more donation dollars.
Galabid also enables bidders to:
Register prior to
events through
a mobile device
Engage in last-minute bidding wars
on their smartphone via 30-second
and one-minute warnings
VS.
Pay for items
through their
smartphones

7. HowGalabidStandsOut
Through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter,
attendees can share information about both the charity they are
supporting and the auction items they are bidding on.

8. Simplicity
The Galabid software starts at $1,999 and varies in price depending on
which package the user prefers. As the product continues to evolve,
Crowdcomm looks toward enhancing Galabid’s social media
capabilities and introducing a new raffle module.
Hansen says that one extremely useful feature of
the program is its ability to keep track of data for
users during events. Organizations are able to say
goodbye to Excel spreadsheets and base future
decisions regarding auction items, etc., on the
data Galabid provides.
"This is truly a
system that an
organizer can pick up
and run on their own.
They don’t need us."
Ray Hansen,
Crowdcomm
