Proxy bidding
Explore how proxy bidding, integrated with Core dna, enhances online auctions by automating bids, increasing engagement, and optimizing auctions.
Proxy Bidding Feature Overview
Proxy bidding, often referred to as "automatic bidding," is a feature designed to enhance auction experiences by placing bids automatically on behalf of a user up to a maximum limit they set. When proxy bidding is integrated with the Core dna platform, marketers stand to transform the way they facilitate online auctions, delivering a seamless and competitive environment for users.
How Proxy Bidding Works with Core dna
Within the Core dna ecosystem, proxy bidding operates by allowing marketers to create auction modules where end-users can place their maximum bid amount without having to monitor the auction constantly. The system then automatically bids the lowest possible increment to maintain the leading position over competing offers until the user's maximum bid is reached. This functionality is crucial for optimizing user engagement and maximizing participation in auctions.
Benefits for Marketers
- Increased Engagement: Users do not need to be online constantly, facilitating higher participation rates.
- Competitive Advantage: Enables marketers to attract more bidders by providing a robust bidding platform.
- Efficient Operations: Reduces the administrative burden of managing auctions with real-time bidding progress.
