At EMMA, our mission is to enhance your event management experience, making it smoother, smarter, and more exciting with each update. Whether it's simplifying payments, improving your fundraising tools, or giving your guests an even better experience, we’ve got you covered. This latest round of updates is designed to make managing your events easier while helping you raise more money and boost engagement. So, let’s dive into what’s new and what’s coming soon.

What’s New?

1. Donate an Item including Vouchers

Simplify item donations with the ability to add vouchers. Now, donors can attach a voucher to their donated item, making the process smoother for both the donor and the winning bidder. It’s a seamless way to handle auction item redemption post-event.

2. Sponsorship Opportunities around Auction Items

Want to offer sponsors more visibility? With our new auction item sponsorship feature, you can give sponsors the opportunity to place their name or brand around auction items. It’s a win-win: you boost the visibility of sponsors while raising more for your cause.

3. “Buy Now” for Auction Items

For those guests who don’t want to wait until the auction ends, we’re introducing a “Buy Now” feature. This option allows guests to purchase auction items immediately, offering more flexibility and generating quicker sales.

4. Magic Links

No one likes unnecessary hurdles, so with our new magic links feature, guests are automatically logged into the microsite when clicking the links in the email sent from the system.

5. Global Address Lookup

Address entry just got easier. Now, all you have to do is start typing it, and our system will auto-fill out the rest of the address. This feature reduces time and errors, allowing your team and guests to focus on the event instead of manual data entry.

6. Invoicing & Offline Payments

Flexibility is key, and now you can offer more payment options with invoicing and offline payments. Whether a donor prefers to pay by bank transfer, payment link, or any other method, you can easily accommodate them, creating a smoother and more flexible donation experience for everyone involved.

We’re committed to continually improving our platform so your events are more successful and easier to manage. From simplifying payment processes to adding exciting new auction features, we’re always thinking of new ways to make your life easier. Stay tuned for more updates, and keep
