4.5/5

What do you like best about GiveSmart?

The GiveSmart team was able to seamlessly coordinate with my regular staff to make the night a success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not just a great product, great service"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveSmart?

We have used another electronic bidding vendor in the past. What sets GiveSmart apart is the customer service they provide. You get help every step of the way, from setting up your site, to running the auction and checking out customers. They make sure everyone is satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

The service is a bit pricey, but it's fairly comparable to other vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GiveSmart:

Running an auction electronically, especially if you're used to doing it the old fashioned way, sounds intimidating, but GiveSmart makes it so simple. And if you have run it electronically with another vendor, you may be surprised that you can get so much more for your money by switching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GiveSmart solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need fewer volunteers, because "closing" the auction is instantaneous and checkout is simplified. And our bids are higher because it's so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GiveSmart was key to our Success "

5/5

What do you like best about GiveSmart?

The user experience and backend were simple and easy to use. Pushing out text messages was a game changer for our auction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

A lot of onboarding but it was worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GiveSmart solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had all credit card information on hand and processing was super simple. Both our fund-a-need and silent auction were user friendly and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent account manager"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveSmart?

Our account manager, Giselle, was excellent and I truly appreciated the continuity in staffing for our clients' events this fall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

I honestly was not a fan of the support staff on either event. I did not think they were particularly professional in their collaboration with my staff nor in their professional appearance or lack thereof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GiveSmart solving and how is that benefiting you?

Giselle has been exemplary in managing all of her clients' needs and concerns. Having an event partner that can service concerns and questions quickly stays in alignment with Kraft Events client service values and practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Givesmart had so many benefits for our organization helping us with fundraising. We barely had any technical problems and if we did, the customer support and our agent where so helpful and nice in helping us solve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
