Who is IML in the fundraising world?

Why Electronic Fundraising

• More Time to Bid: The silent auction can be open throughout the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert and even later if you choose. This leads to more bids, driving up the revenue and market value of the items

• Mobility: Guests are able to enjoy the event from anywhere in the room without having to hover around the item sheets

• Control: One database can collect bids, pledges, raffle tickets and live auction items and create a comprehensive report post-event of all donations from the event

• Convenient, Simple & Fun: Handsets and tablets add an extra interactive level to your event that your guests will find intuitive and easy to use

IML for Live & Silent Auctions

• Guests bid with pre-programmed smartcards (to name or bidder number)

• Recommend 1 handset per couple or person

• Not reliant on wireless internet

IML Fundraiser on Handsets

Bidding with IML Handsets

• If the minimum bid is not met, the handset says “Minimum Bid Not Met”

Bidding with IML Handsets

When a guest has been outbid on an item, a notification simply pops up on the screen of their handset which allows them to re-bid, wait or ignore the item.

These instant outbid alerts enable competitive guests to re-bid on their favorites immediately, driving up the winning price and increasing revenue.

Outbid Alerts

• Guests bid using a username and password, can pre or self register

• Recommend 1 tablet per table or as a “bidding kiosk”

• Works best for smaller item lists

Fund-a-Need

• Bring your attendees together for one common goal by holding an electronic fund-a-need

• Give your guests instant gratification for their donation in a very visual format– A totalizer external display is used to show donations coming in

through the bidding devices on screens scattered throughout the event space

• Increase participation to reach your goal!– Attendees will see their donation on the displays in real-time

• Either host one “call to action” where attendees are asked to pledge at the same time or ask your guests to pledge throughout the evening whenever they feel inspired to give
