AuctionAnything.com announced today that its public broadcasting sector has enjoyed its most successful spring auction season to date. This business segment includes dozens of public television (PBS) and public radio stations throughout the country. Through the end of June, twenty-four stations had run at least one fundraising auction event utilizing the AuctionAnything.com Internet auction platform. Auction events can be conducted “online only” or as auctions simulcast on live television combined with real-time, online bidding.
AuctionAnything.com also realized significant growth in membership within its public broadcasting sector during the first half of 2008. Seven stations converted all or part of their auction events to AuctionAnything.com’s fully hosted, auction service. “Public broadcasting is a perfect fit for an online auction, and AuctionAnything.com in particular,” stated John Hotaling, President of AuctionAnything.com. “The stations have the ability to effectively publicize their events, while their bidders enjoy how easy our system is to use. This translates into more bidders, more bids, and ultimately a more successful fundraiser. It truly does create a win-win situation.”
AuctionAnything.com has been developing online auction systems since 1995 and broadcast related features since 2003. Features developed primarily for public broadcasting stations include operator assisted bidding, on-air board production, combination bidding and Top(X) bidding for multiple quantity applications. AuctionAnything.com serves the PBS and public radio community, as well as non-profit and for-profit businesses throughout the world with scalable, turnkey, online auction solutions.
