►Here’s a Good Idea

About half of my events still do traditional silent auctions with paper bid sheets. And about half of those organizations use the “Just Buy It” or Instant Purchase option, so that attendees can stop bidding in small increments and just opt to buy it and be done. However, this can cause more than a little confusion. People unfamiliar with the Instant Purchase option often try to keep bidding, and then more than one person believes he is the winner. With the clear and easy notification show above, you will make your auction clearer and easier for your bidders. And, you know the GALA GAL motto, “Make it easy for people to spend money.”
