Advance teams experienced in setting up, coordinating support services, and conducting auctions are available immediately to begin this effort. NATIONWIDE has a core group of management staff to develop marketing strategies, which will attract the largest number of potential bidders and assure enthusiastic buyer response at the auction. The strategy for each auction includes a marketing plan, which helps us to identify our target markets from the more than 600,000 qualified bidders in our continuously updated database. Our plan evaluates the best method of publicity either direct mail, telemarketing, or a broad advertising campaign including newspapers, specialty trade publications, electronic media, the Internet, and other communications networking systems. Whether NATIONWIDE is at the customer's site to dispose of excess equipment and materials, or relocates the surplus to a NATIONWIDE facility, the same high quality services and performance results are achieved. Our sellers have full assurance of safety, security, prompt and accurate settlement transactions. This is the basis of the NATIONWIDE AUCTION SYSTEMS reputation and strong customer following throughout the years.
