"Children’s Autism Services of Edmonton used Bid Beacon for our Tell me a Story Gala and 6th Annual Maier Centre Celebrity Golf Tournament. The app was easy to use and our event attendees really enjoyed the convenience. Bid Beacon staff did a great job of answering any questions we had in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend Bid Beacon to other organizations."

"The silent auction at the Christmas Bureau’s Breakfast had an innovative, easy and mobile way for supporters to view and bid on items. ARC’s BidBeacon mobile app provided a unique mechanism for us to maximize silent auction dollars while making it convenient for our supporters to participate. Great contribution from ARC to develop and deliver the app to us for free."

"When the church I was helping to lead made the decision to wind down, we were
left
with a large inventory of supplies, equipment, tech gear, kids’ toys, books, furniture, kitchen
equipment
and other items. We chose to liquidate these items using Bid Beacon. This worked out really well. We
were
able to load up over 450 items quickly and efficiently, thanks to the duplicate and edit feature. Every
item
had one or multiple pictures attached.
The auction ran over 10 days, with a few times advertised before and during the auction period for
people
to come by and see what they were bidding on. The whole experience was very satisfying and far more
practical
that the garage sale/Kijiji alternatives. I would highly recommend Bid Beacon for any fundraising or
asset
liquidation challenge."
