A traditional auction marketing agency is the better fit when you want one team running print, mailers, signage, ads and the website together. If what you need most is a fast, current website with a sale calendar, catalog and articles at a fixed monthly price, a managed website is the focused, lower-commitment option.
An agency for full-service campaigns; a managed site for a fast, current website at a fixed monthly fee.
Facts about An auction marketing agency checked on its own website where a named vendor exists; this page compares a category, not a company.
What it is,
in fairness
A traditional auction marketing agency typically handles campaigns across channels: sale brochures and mailers, road signs, newspaper and radio placements, social media, paid ads, email and often the website. Pricing is usually custom, by retainer, project or per sale. Many have deep industry relationships and experience promoting sales.
An agency brings strategy and people across every channel, and for a large house promoting major sales, that breadth is worth paying for. But many houses hire an agency mainly because the website needs someone, and then pay for services they rarely use while the site itself updates slowly. We are not an agency and do not run your ads, mailers or signs. We do one thing: build and run a fast auction website, with published prices, a stated turnaround and articles every week. If an agency runs your campaigns, our site gives their ads a faster page to send bidders to.

Switching,
or keeping
both
Plenty of houses keep an agency for campaigns and use us for the website. Their ads, mailers and emails point at your sale pages; our pages load fast so more of the bidders they pay to reach stay long enough to register. Forms route into whichever CRM you or the agency use, and your agency can send sale details through your client portal.

04 Client reviews
Our auction collection guidance information spent years trapped in a print document. The content is the same material, reorganized into headed sections that work on any screen. The print-friendly version remains, but it is no longer the only option.
Everyone talks about the new design; I cared more about where the old auction collection guidance links would land. Every legacy address was cataloged, mapped and tested before go-live. I could share the new site knowing the old links had been taken seriously.
No. We build and manage websites for auction houses. We do not run ads, print, mailers, signage or radio, and we are not an auctioneer.
Yes, and many houses do. The agency runs campaigns and points them at your sale pages, which we keep fast and current.
Because the plan is fixed in scope: a managed website with 5 revisions a month, articles, hosting and the AI Engine on higher plans. Plans are $127 (Ring), $267 plus AI usage (Block) or $647 (Rostrum) a month.
It can. Google Ads Quality Score includes landing-page experience, so a faster, relevant page can help lower cost per click and keeps more of the paid visitors from leaving before the page loads. We do not promise a specific result.
No. We write the website, its pages and researched articles. Brochures, mailers and print stay with you or your agency.
Ask them to transfer it to your name, or we point it at the new site with their help. If you use the included domain, it is registered in your name from the start.
We advise on website structure, search and content. Wider marketing strategy, budgets and media buying are an agency's specialty, not ours.

A marketing agency here means the general category of auction marketing agencies, not any named company. Product details change; check the vendor's own site for current features. Nothing on this page is a claim about any vendor's prices.
