BidPal has now gone a step further, introducing a low-cost fundraising alternative: [do-it-yourself mobile bidding](https://www.bidpal.com/mobile-bidding/). Mobile bidding works similar to how one would bid for items aloud or by writing down their bid on a piece of paper - think vacation packages, framed art, gift baskets, etc. - but rather from his or her mobile device at his or her table. For nonprofits, they can capture guest credit card information at registration, log them in to the mobile bidding on their smartphones and then the software will basically take care of the rest - texting outbid notifications, raffle ticket purchases and more.  The best part of mobile bidding comes when the event is about to end or ends altogether as mobile bidding (see image below) provides instant checkout, emailed receipts, and robust post-event analytics and reporting results. BidPal offers plenty of other intriguing options for nonprofits as well. Its giving scorecoard is one to consider, as it provides event attendees real-time status updates on current bids, incentivizing them to bid more and make sure they go home a winner. Nonprofits using this kind of gamification are sure to increase the amount of money they earn for their cause. ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/prod-mobilebidding-3-2-1-1-1.png?width=335&height=600&name=prod-mobilebidding-3-2-1-1-1.png) ![Amberly Dressler](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Amberly%20Dressler.jpeg) [Amberly Dressler](https://www.websitemagazine.com/marketing/author/amberly-dressler) Head of analyst relations, public relations, customer advocacy (People Heroes), customer community, content marketing (full funnel/lifecycle), content operations and optimization, reputation management and social media.
