With nearly 3,000 clients at the university and k-12 level, GovDeals understands the complexities of school budgets, programs, and disposal methods. We have proven success in assisting our education clients with finding the right buyers for their items. 

We have nearly 8,000 clients at the city, county, or state level, including utility companies, public authorities and hospitals. GovDeals prides itself on staying knowledgeable of the different rules and processes between cities and states and we have regional representatives on hand who know your local area laws and can help you navigate through the selling process.

Almost 3,000 fire/rescue and law enforcement agencies across the US have adopted the GovDeals solution to sell their retired fleet vehicles, emergency vehicles, and confiscated items. We appreciate the delicate nature of some of these sales and can assist our clients in selling to the general public, or in selling to a restricted buyer base, such as other fire departments or police stations only. 

In order to make the local market aware of your auction, GovDeals Marketing will assist you by preparing press releases and distribution them to newspapers and other publications in your local and surrounding area. Additionally, our other strategic and specialized marketing efforts can be utilized. We can provide an outdoor banner if there is a high traffic area in which it could be displayed. 

We will provide you a personalized link that can be placed on your website. This link will go directly to your current auctions on the GovDeals site. This makes it very easy for prospective bidders to navigate your webpage, and quickly see your available assets.

The GovDeals Marketing Team utilizes national media outlets such as CarDaddy, Rock and Dirt, 1st Responder, and Aircraft Dealer to put the focus on your specific assets and drive buyers back to your auctions. 

GovDeals uses social media to promote your assets to our followers on a more personal level. We follow our clients that use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other social media platforms. This creates a network between you, your followers, and us. 

GovDeals prides itself on being a "green" solution for our clients. Online auctions negate the time, energy and carbon footprint of a live auction where most attendees don't even purchase assets. Selling your items online provides you an environmentally friendly method of asset transfer.
