If you need a fundraising partner for your charity ball, awards ceremony or annual fundraiser, jumblebee will suppport you from start to finish.
Set up
So that you can concentrate on all the logistics involved in organising your event, jumblebee takes care of the fundraising.
It’s a great idea to set up your jumblebee page well in advance of your event, so that you can start collating your auction prizes and even share the link with supporters to encourage more prize donations.
Setting up early helps you reach a wider audience and maximise engagement. Our unique mirror technology also maximises engagement by enabling guests unable to attend the event to continue to bid throughout the evening from the comfort of their own home.
We’ll also theme the page with your branding including logos, sponsors, charity information, and even the menu!
Promotion
We can help you with the promotion of your event – there are plenty of reasons to communicate regularly with your guests before the big day:
- Distribution of the auction link and QR code for easy access to the auction.
- Promotion of individual prizes and lots.
- For those who can’t attend, absentee bidding.
Tickets
You can use the jumblebee e-ticketing system to sell tickets to your event. On the day, it’s simple to manage from any device, and you can check guests in by scanning the QR code on the tickets! There’s also the ability to set up different ticket types (e.g., friends of… and concessions).
Donations
Having a ‘Donate’ button on your page is a no- brainer, as some guests may prefer to simply make a donation. Ask us about Pledge Moments too as these always ramp up donations on the day.
Leaderboards
We can connect to your screens to display auction leaderboards – bids flash up on the screens which increases competition and our countdown clock creates a flurry of bids in the last few minutes of the auction. The leaderboard can also be viewed online so that absentee guests can join in the fun, widening the audience and maximising funds raised!
Professional jumblebee team
Our experienced jumblebee team will be there in person to support you on the night. We never outsource to agency staff, ensuring the utmost professionalism and fundraising expertise.
- Silent Auctioneer
Our Silent Auctioneer will maximise funds raised by highlighting items with no bids, moving items to the top of the page, and increasing bid increments on popular items.
- Fundraising Specialists
Our professional Fundraising Specialists care about raising as much as possible for your cause and are all experienced auction event managers. They will be on hand to encourage your guests to get involved in the auction, help with any queries, and take payments.
Technology
- Foolproof technology, guaranteed connectivity
We set up our own secure closed-circuit Wi-Fi network which guarantees connectivity for the iPads. The last thing you want is having the system go down due to a drop in-venue Wi-Fi or phone signal; it causes embarrassment in front of your supporters. Not only that, with such a short period of time to raise money for your cause, it results in a significant loss of funds raised. We never rely on venue Wi-Fi or phone signal, and with the secure jumblebee network our auction technology has been proven to work even during power cuts!
- iPads
Why do we use Apple iPads and not the cheaper imitations?
Firstly, they look amazing displayed on the tables on our bamboo stands: for a glamorous gala dinner they are the perfect fit. But most importantly, Apple iPads are user-friendly and extremely dependable, with the best battery life and the best connectivity.
As well as displaying the auction, the iPads can include a ‘Pledge’ button, sponsors, charity information and even the menu!
We offer the best professional support to ensure a seamless fundraising event. If you have any questions, our team is here to help, just give us a call on 0203 826 8560 or email us on support@jumblebee.co.uk. We’d love to hear from you.
