What do you dislike about Handbid?

The only thing I don't like about Handbid is when I upload a picture for the auction the sizing option cuts off images that are vertical so they fit in the horizontal space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elise Druckenmiller of Handbid

Thank you for partnering with Handbid for so long! We are happy that hear that Handbid has improved your guest experience from the antiquated and dreadful paper bid sheets and ultimately has helped you increase your revenue over the years!

Images can be challenging - we'd love to show you how you can easily resize images for those vertical ones. Resizing images can be done through standard software such as Canva, PowerPoint, Google Slides. Please reach out to service to learn more about these options!

"One Stop Shop"
5/5
What do you like best about Handbid?

The fact that we can run an entire event from ticket sales , to auctions and games. And we keep all the data in one place for future events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

The app is not as easy to use for the attendee and bidder. We have a lot of donors and attendees that are older and technially challenged. So I'd like to see it a little more simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hard to set up and the tech support is not great when setting it up."
1/5
What do you like best about Handbid?

Having Inga come and run our auction was great, however the set up and lack of tech support prior to the auction was bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

No support when setting up our auctions or campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elise Druckenmiller of Handbid

Thank you for your kind comments about Inga, we love her too and are happy you had a great event!

We provide varying levels of setup and tech support, depending on your wants and needs. At the minimum, we are always available M-F, 8-5 (MT) for email and/or chat support and our Knowledge Base (it's like a Google for Handbid!), as well as After-Hours Event Emergency support via our Hotline Number. In addition, we also provide free group training sessions monthly where we review the 4 biggest aspects of Handbid: Getting Started, Ticketing, People Management (Guests & Bidders) and Item Management. These sessions are recorded and sent to registered participants following each session. If your current plan does not provide the level of support you're looking for, we are happy to discuss upgrading your subscription to include a more personalized service approach.

"Online auction"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Handbid?

Handbid allowed us to expand our donor/bidder base by adding the online auction component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Handbid?

Our event location has limited wifi. Many of our bidders are elderly and struggle with the technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shania Hallock of Handbid

Thank you for the review! Expanding your donor base is exactly what we love to hear. For guests who are less comfortable with technology, we have some great strategies — like volunteer "bid assistants" and pre-event registration — that make a big difference. Reach out to service@handbid.com before your next event and we'll share our tips for limited-wifi venues too.
