Case Study: Eastern Washington University boosts auction revenue with SchoolAuction.net

Eastern Washington University - Customer Case Study

Eastern Washington University sought to add an online component to its established Military Appreciation Auction to allow parents, alumni, and remote supporters to participate. Their challenge was implementing this new system quickly to complement their previously manual, paper-based process for an event with 8,000 invitees. They turned to the vendor SchoolAuction.net for its online auction platform.

SchoolAuction.net provided a solution that was implemented in under 48 hours. The platform enabled online bidding to run concurrently with the live event, which was promoted via PA announcements at the stadium. The results were highly successful, with 600 active participants and 112 bidders grossing over $35,000. This nearly doubled the previous year's revenue and represented a $15,000 increase. The team at Eastern Washington University also praised the post-auction reporting features from SchoolAuction.net.
