NextLot, Inc. is changing the way auctioneers do business.
RALEIGH, NC, January 07, 2011
NextLot, Inc. is quickly proving that its software is capable of changing the way auctioneers do business. The online auction software provider is not only increasing its clients' exposure and success, but it has auctioneers rethinking how to reach bidders.In recent months, one auction firm in particular has learned just how powerful partnering with NextLot can be. The North Dakota based company started with NextLot in 2009 with its first ever timed-online auction and now uses NextLot's timed-online auction software for more than ten auctions a month. The auctions, which focus on liquidating packages of farm equipment, have resulted in tremendous increases in the auctioneer's customer base and overall business. In a November $3 million farm equipment auction, fourteen lots sold for over $100,000 each. With its success rate on the rise, this traditional auctioneer has decided to further its partnership with NextLot by adding NextLot's live webcast service to the mix.
For fifty years, the auction company has been known for its traditional on-site auctions. Now, with NextLot in the picture, it is adding a more modern approach by enabling national and international bidders to bid on items live online while feeling as though they are standing on the auction floor. In an auction this past December, the addition of this new service proved to be an excellent decision. The equipment auction had 397 registered bidders and sold $1.4 million dollars online, which accounted for thirty percent of the auction. Since partnering with NextLot, the auction company has seen remarkable growth. Now with the implementation of NextLot's newest online webcast platform, the auctioneer will be adding more successful auctions to the record book.
