The difference
Why Marketing Matters
Marketing is what brings the most qualified bidders to your surplus auctions. It’s not enough to simply put your surplus in front of millions of people; we create custom marketing campaigns to reach the right people.
With our marketing behind your auctions, you get the highest quality bidders and the most competitive bidding, for the highest selling prices.
We’re the little fish in a sea of big fish, and that means the little things matter to us. Whether it’s sending an email to a specially curated list of bidders or speaking about your surplus in an interview, we go the extra 100 miles for you.
A win-win
Your Success Is Our Success
All of our services are 100% free for you. No matter how many ads or marketing initiatives we run for you, we never charge you a single cent for our marketing services.
Our business model is aligned with your success. We charge the winning bidder a buyer’s fee that is a percentage of their winning bid, so our incentive is to sell your surplus for the most. It truly is a win-win.
Plus, you’ll save thousands of dollars or more in hauling fees by selling your surplus instead of throwing it away.
We have realized hundreds of thousands of dollars funneled back into the District’s operating budgets, have saved thousands on hauling (dumping) fees, and have kept tons of surplus out of the landfills!

How we do it
Right people, right message, right time
Along with a large audience, we target the most qualified bidders.
Right People
We have a deep understanding of our audience through user personas. We communicate with our bidders consistently, and we track and analyze how visitors and bidders use the site.
Right Message
We target content by past bidding activity, item category, and location. We study how each message performs to keep improving, and we have a strong presence on the channels our audience uses.
Right Time
We stay top of mind with regular communications. We optimize sending days and times, and we market items in step with current market trends and seasons.
Methods of marketing
Everywhere your bidders are
Your surplus is marketed across traditional and digital channels to get the most exposure.
Podcasts
The Municibid Podcast brings in industry experts, manufacturers, businesses, government agencies and more to discuss industry trends, opinions, and knowledge with a nationwide audience on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple.
Emails
We regularly send emails with recommended items based on bidders' preferences. 28% of our emails are opened by bidders, against an industry average of 9% to 15%.
Paid Media
From Facebook ads to Google ads, your surplus is featured where your bidders are. We can target people by location and interests, so your surplus is in front of the most qualified bidders.
PR Experts
Whether it's your local news station or international TV, our PR experts spread the news about your surplus. A radio interview on The Bruce St. James Show on WLS-AM 890 Chicago, for example, brought a 350% increase in user registrations.
Social Media
From posts to chats to groups, we're always growing our bidder community and giving your surplus maximum exposure on social media, including Facebook and Instagram.
Industry Publications
We place items that are relevant to specific industries in the website directories and databases that buyers in those industries look at every day.
Blog Insights
We share bidding tips, car buying advice, and more so our audience can make the best decisions. A well-informed bidder is a better bidder, and that helps decrease bidder defaults.
Direct Mailings
We put your surplus in the hands of bidders with postcards and letters. Bidders who aren't on social media see your surplus too.
AI
Municibid uses AI to streamline processes and deliver a faster, smarter experience, while keeping human expertise at the core of every interaction.
Municibid has been a great resource. If I have any problems creating the post for my items, the staff are very helpful. The bid amounts always exceed our expectations.
