How do I make a 'Mom's Night Out' Item?

Select the donation. Select the the 'Special' tab and select 'Each bidder is a winner...' 

A 'Mom's Night Out' is the type of donation that has multiple tickets for the same price.  For instance multiple tickets to a party - all tickets are the same price. 

Pearl Bids can print 10 bid-lines on a sheet. Thus if you want to sell 40 tickets, you will need to have 4 donations and donation sheets -  'Mom's Night Out #1', 'Mom's Night Out #2'...,'Mom's Night Out #3' (See How do I duplicate a donation?) and distribute these sheets over various donation tables, and possibly the check-in table or to allow copies for some people to walk around with clipboards.  

We did this as we have seen it to be a more effective way to sell tickets at your silent auction without crowding the table and creating a line and discouraging people. 

 

 

Pearl Bids silent auction manager  is the perfect tool to easily set up, keep track, and run your silent auction.

 

Scroll through the feature slides or watch some of the how-to videos to see for yourself why our customers continue to use Pearl Bids year after year for all of their silent auction events.
