Paper bidding packages
Our paper bid sheet services package provides you with a complete solution for a seamless event.
Paper Bidding & Auction Management
Although there are many great reasons to use AES charity auction fundraising tools for your event, sometimes Mobile Bidding just isn’t the right choice for your patrons. This is precisely why AES continues to facilitate paper bid sheet auctions using our auction management systems that we have developed over 30 years of experience to help you run a world class paper bid sheet event.
With our tried and true registration techniques, we are able to register your guests quickly and efficiently which gets them in the door faster so they can start bidding. We take the hassle out of the manual process with data entry and validation techniques that focus on speed and accuracy. Then at the end of the night, we will accept all payments, print receipts, and help you distribute the auction items in a streamlined process that will leave your guests with a lasting positive impression of your event and organization alike. A happy donor is a generous donor!

“We have used the AES process for more than 10 years. Before that, we had a nightmarish checkout with very long lines and credit card machines that didn’t work. I recently told someone that I would not do my event without AES. You make life so much easier and organized. Our whole event just runs so much smoother. I’m happy AES supports us with paper bidding still. While I’ve been tempted to try electronic bidding, the paper method works fine for our older crowd.”
