Introducing AuctionsByCellular

The Future of Fundraising

Hello, and Thank You!

AuctionsByCellular is a technology company that assists non-profits, charities, foundations and schools increase donations by moving the silent auction from paper to an enhanced mobile solution.

• Our mission: – To create positive change by helping charities raise more money and

achieve their goals.

• Our track record: – ABC's clients see their proceeds skyrocket over the previous year's

paper auction

– Since our start, 1,200+ events, $130 Million

• How we do it: – We use our technology and our people to help maximize bidding before

and during your event so you realize greater revenue.

22

We Developed a Cool Technology…

• Unique, user-friendly software automates your auction.

– People bid using their own cell phone, or donate by text or personalized

cellphone link.

– No expensive devices to rent (or potentially lose)!

– Anyone with web access can bid, from anywhere in the world!

• Web based bidding keeps your silent auction open longer.

– Guests can pre-register their phones for early bidding.

– Real-time alerts boost bidding.

– Bidding is anonymous, sparking more activity.

– On-site or off, guests can quickly bid on

numerous items.

• It’s fun, exciting, affordable – and it works!

23

We Improve the Experience

We help you raise needed funds while your guests are enjoying

bidding, winning and giving.

• No more: – Waiting for the event to bid.

– Hovering over bid sheets.

– Standing in endless check-out lines.

• You can finally enjoy your event: – Focusing on new donors and

long-term supporters.

• No more: – Wondering if you’ll meet auction goals.

– Time-consuming manual processes.

– Chasing guests to tell them they’ve won.
