Online Auctions – Mobile and Virtual Bidding
Online Auctions – Mobile and Virtual Bidding
AFGI is one of Canada’s pioneers in online auctions with mobile and virtual bidding for fundraising events. We have aided in the development of this technology for over a decade and have the experience to advise you who it works for and who it does not work for.
While there are many online bidding platforms available to the public, the majority are developed and operated by technology firms rather than seasoned charity auction professionals. What sets us apart is our 45+ years of hands-on experience in the fundraising auction industry, bringing a deep understanding of donor behaviour, event dynamics, and revenue-maximizing strategies that only come from decades of in-the-field expertise.
AFGI utilizes online live-bidding auction platforms designed and developed by auction industry experts, not a technology firm. We utilize an online auction platform that best fits the unique needs of your event and we’re not limited to one system. Our flexibility ensures a smooth, customized experience that aligns with your goals and enhances your fundraising success.
