Testimonials
With Bidstation, we were able to surpass our fundraising goals.
“For our 2nd annual Sally Strong event, Bidstation was an exceptional resource. The platform’s intuitive design and robust functionality made auction planning straightforward and efficient. We were especially grateful for the fantastic customer support provided by John. He was available around the clock to ensure the auction went off without a hitch and ensured I was comfortable using the upgraded version. His assistance and motivating words were crucial in ensuring our event’s success. With Bidstation, we were able to surpass our fundraising goals. I highly recommend them for any event planners looking to enhance their fundraising efforts!.”

“Great software and support! Our major fundraiser has been stream-lined with the use of AuctionZoom software. The nightmare of guest registration, payments, auction management and the checkout process is a thing of the past. All of these processes have been made fool proof. Our regular guests have commented on the ease of their experience. No lines, no confusion!.”

“We have over 500 guests at our annual Gala, and the software worked perfectly! It’s easy to use and intuitive, so that volunteers don’t need a whole lot of training. I’ve used many other systems over the past years, and for us, AuctionZoom provides the most efficient and cost-effective solution to a no-lines hassle-free event check out. I’m very grateful to them and highly recommend this product.”
